I honestly have followed her from her first salon on Flatbush for years. Unfortunately I am currently experiencing terrible hair loss and my edges are very weak- but that's because I made a mistake and went to another salon on Flatbush to get a perm (Desiree happened to be closed at the time I went).. I am currently beating myself up for this decision. I am very confident that my hair will grow back- I have invested in many organic oils/ treatments & will ONLY continue to go to Desiree. Side note: ** I started going to her when I lived in Brooklyn, I have since moved to Queens and still hop in the car and take the 30 min ride out to Brooklyn .... Concluding thought: Ladies, SHE is the best. I am writing this review because people need to experience this to understand it.

It was then that I learned that her and her husband bought the salon. 2nd time I came she told me that they weren't accepting loyalty cards granted mine was already half way punched. The new owner told me, I can finish my loyalty card and pay $25 to get my hair done mind you I was paying $20 to get my hair done. The third encounter with her she's still on the phone yelling at someone, then her son is there so she's screaming even more. When it comes time to pay, she told me I have to pay $30 to get my hair done and that I can't use my loyalty card even though I have more punches left. As much as I love my beautician and have been going to her for over 15 years, I'm going to another place. This new owner is insensitive, and I'm pretty sure she's going to lose more customers. Still upset that the original owners couldn't say anything because I was so loyal to them smh. This place deserves 0 stars. Customer service went all the way down; prices went all the way up!!!

I've been going to this salon off and on for years. It isn't my "go to" salon, but since it it…read moreclose proximity to my house it has been a good fall back when I am pressed for a wash and set and don't have time to travel. I've had decent experiences with them in general. My hair texture is easy to manage (3b-c). It's natural and while I have a lot, it doesn't require a lot to get straight. So a wash and set is all I need. The reason for this negative review is that I recently started taking my 6 year old daughter for blowouts. She has been about 3 times. Her hair texture is considerably more course than mine (4a). It is (or should I say 'was') thick and beautiful. Her Afro-puffs were perfect, enviable, huge round puffs of cotton. Not any more. During the last visit, both my daughter and I came for blowouts. The salon was nearly empty so we had different stylists. The stylist who tended to my daughter was feeling her hair and simultaneously asking "are you gonna be a good girl today?" Not sure what she was talking about I piped in, "she is always a good girl." The stylist said, "I just meant while I blow it, it gets hot." I said, "Again, she always is a good girl, she really enjoys getting her hair straightened so she is a good sport about the process." They went to the shampoo bowl. I was already past that point and getting rollers in my hair and about to go under the dryer. So I didn't observe my daughter's shampoo process. I regret that now. My daughter's hair turned out great. Straighter than ever. Definitely more straight than when I do it at home. I drummed it up to the professionals being professional. I didn't wash her hair for 2 weeks (judge me, it's a thing :)) and my daughter's hair never reverted. 6 year old girl, doing 6 year old play, sweat and all and there was barely any curly edges. Peculiar? Yes... but I didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until I washed her hair that I realized that something was really wrong. 3 shampoos. And her hair would not curl. Stringy, straight hairs all over her head. 6 years of loving up on each of her curls, I know exactly what her hair is like, and...like that... it was changed! I did a Deep conditioning treatment. And her hair still wouldn't curl the way it previously did. Soft, puffy, fluffy, hair gone. And her hair had this awful chemical smell to it. 3 shampoos and a deep conditioning treatment and this weird smell clung to her hair. I was convinced at that point that the salon did something irreversible to her hair. I went to the salon and explained my concerns to the same ladies in the shop I have always seen and talked to every time I have visited, but now they didn't understand my English. So they called a woman who supposedly owned the salon and spoke better English, who expectedly denied any wrongdoing. It's heartbreaking really. So beware. This business is up to funny business. I definitely will never return. I'll be using all the natural hair care tips I've gained over the years to try and repair the damage done to my daughter's continually breaking hair. And telling EVERYONE I know about our experience.

I booked online and sent the $45 deposit via CashApp, which was the cost of the entire service. I don't actually own a blow dryer, so I washed my hair and brushed it out until it was straight-ish, and that was fine. My partner had a separate appointment and detangled his hair, but they charged him an additional blow drying fee (I don't think he brushed his hair out like I did, maybe that's why?). I showed up about 15 minutes early in the middle of a heat wave, Cece offered me a cold water, and Stephenie started working on me right away. She blow dried my hair a little bit more, with minimal heat. Stephenie was super communicative and showed me what she wanted to cut off. The trim wasn't really noticeable from a distance, which is exactly what I wanted. The salon itself is small and neat, and Stephenie and Cece are super friendly. I'll be back for my next trim in 3 months!

I needed a single process to cover my greys - I have medium brown hair, no highlights. Should be simple enough. Upon getting in the chair, the stylist mentioned she thought my greys looked resistant, I agreed because I know that my color usually has to sit for a while, but she didn't ask me any questions beyond that. Instead, the she spent most of the time suggesting I should get highlights (which is not unusual when discussing how to add more dimension), but this was after I just explained how I stopped getting highlights a few years back because I didn't like how much it damaged my hair. When it was time to process, she put me under heat, which I have never had done before in the past 6 years of getting this service. I thought it was odd at first, but not knowing anything about hair coloring, assumed it was necessary for the type of product they use at this salon. I was under heat for about 10 minutes which felt far too long as my hairline was starting to sting badly. As soon as we started drying, it seemed like my roots were much lighter than normal, but once fully dry the color looked accurate enough. I don't know if it was the lighting in the salon or what, but it wasn't until I got home that I noticed my roots were so hot and brassy! While I blame myself for not looking more closely at the time, I imagine a Level 6 Stylist would have easily noticed this, yet she didn't say anything about it all and acted like my hair color was matched perfectly. Very disappointing that she never asked about heat being necessary previously for my greys and just assumed to use it, knowing heat during a single process is the fastest way to getting hot roots. Giving 2 stars because the rest of the staff was nice and the blow out was good. Sadly I'm now on the hunt for another new salon.
