I really wanted to change my looks - my hair was way too long, with old highlights, and I was…read morefeeling totally bored with it. So I decided to make a big change - to cut it short. However, who would I pick to be my hairstylist? Yelp helped me find Kristeia. I read so many excellent reviews about her hair cuts that I had to try it myself. And... Indeed! She did a great job with my hair, now it is short and its color is beautiful!! She also gave me tips on how to take care of my hair and how to style it myself on a daily basis. She is the best!

So in my original review, I kept referring to this woman stylist who I thought was the owner. It…read morewas not the owner, it was a stylist named Anna who I watched do an amazing keratin on someone who was not me. Today I decided to go back to Mon Plaisir for a color, because I wanted the "owner" (at least who I thought it was) to do my hair. They told me that the owner only did extensions. Long story short I ended up booking with a woman named Anna. I am so happy I did and am so glad I gave Mon Plaisir another try. When I walked in I recognized Anna as being the stylist who I thought was the owner last time, so I knew I was in good hands. Today Anna did a root-touch up on my naturally dark hair and did balayage, she also gave me a cut and style, not to mention toned my hair to make it more "cool" or ashy (vs orange hue). I arrived at 10am and just left in love with my hair 3 1/2 hours later. She did a great job, was very knowledgeable about hair and the science behind coloring in general. You can tell her work mattered to her and she took her client's results very seriously. I do want to say that I feel bad that I dissed the other stylist in my original review. I did see her working on other clients while I was getting my hair done today. I saw her doing hair extensions on other clients today and from what I saw she was really good at that. I'm glad I didn't name her because that wouldn't be polite, but I do feel like my keratin previously wasn't done up to my expectations. Sometimes stylists are better in one area than they are another. That being said, my hair looks great and I booked a keratin with Anna for later this month. Mon Plaisir is pricey but I feel like with your hair you have to invest, so it's worth it to me if the end result is great. I would recommend Mon Plaisir- just be ready to pay and also do your research as to who to book with based on what you are looking for :)

During this time she also worked with me to transition back to my natural color by letting it grow out and tinting/glossing to keep my hair color as consistent as possible. She's also given me short, textured cuts, fun color, balayage, and the best blowouts. I've been seeing her for several years. She really listens to my needs and thinks ahead for what's best for my hair. She's a godsend.

After my original experience, the owner reached out to me and was genuinely remorseful about what happened. She listened to my concerns, particularly around the salon's marketing and how it created expectations that didn't match my experience when I arrived.

I received a full refund, and the owner also provided me with a complimentary hair-care kit specifically for curly hair, which I really appreciated.

I went to her for crochet braids after being told by another stylist that I had to much hair to get them done and have it look natural. I met with Courtney for a consultation, and felt confident she could do my hair, but even with that her work exceeded my expectations. Pros 1. The braid pattern she chose ensured they looked super natural and my hair laid flat (my hair is thick and just beyond BSL) 2. She did not braid too tight at all. My hair line is comfortable and there is no pulling 3. She blocked out the time to work on me and me alone. 4. She has such a great personality. We had wonderful conversation 5. She constantly checked to make sure it wasn't too tight 6. One pack of hair I bought had knots that were messed up. She improvised and was able to take the time to place the hair without it looking bad. You'd never guess I had dysfunctional knots in my hair. Cons None.

DO NOT put your hair in Foster's care. If I can give a negative rating I absolutely would. I've…read morebeen natural for several years. I came across this establishment when I was unable to reach my previous stylist because she switched locations. My hair is a combo of 4's and otherwise healthy. Outside of straightening and trimming, I did my own deep conditioning and protein treatments and low tension protective styles. I came to this establishment for a deep condition, silk press, and trim. I left Friday with my hair bumped & curled and reasonably satisfied. Saturday and Sunday my hair was flat, despite wrapping it the night before. Had to put rollers in to hold the curls and bump. Monday it rained. I expected my natural hair to revert back to its waves and kinks considering how windy and wet it was. It didn't and that's when I first became concerned. One week later it was wash day. Used my sulfate-free poo and protein conditioner. My hair was flat-barely a kink. Matter of fact my hair was straighter wet than when it is dry. I contacted Courtney Foster to get a refund since my hair ended up damaged beyond repair. I sent her pictures of my hair and she informed me that she used heat protectant and that I should come in to have my hair assessed. I asked her when I can come in, as I live more than an hour away from her salon. I'm still waiting on a reply and that was in November 2018. Eleven days after receiving a "Silk press and trim", a different natural hair stylist assessed my hair and said it was permanently straightened either by severe heat damage or relaxer. The pictures speak for themselves. I sincerely implore anyone reading this review not to seek her services. P. S. In response to the business owners reply. Let me clarify our digital conversation/email. While you were damaging my hair, you mentioned that you reside/resided in Queens. Seeing as though I reside in LI, I mentioned, but did not ask by any measure to come to your house. My email stated "If it's easier to meet in Queens, I can do that as early as tomorrow evening or Sunday." I never wanted nor did I say I wanted to meet at your residence. Seeing that I believed assessing my hair and recouping my loss was time sensitive, I gave you that option of Queens or Manhattan. Don't flatter yourself by thinking I would ever invite myself to your dwelling. NEVER, would I invite myself to a strangers house as that is exactly what you are. A stranger who provided inferior "professional" service. Matter of fact I could have probably received a better service if I had gone to a kitchen hair salon! Furthermore, I offered the dates I could make time in my schedule for you to assess my hair in a more than timely fashion. You could never offer me a time when it was convenient for you to see me. Why would I offer or want to go to your home when at anytime, I could have just popped up at your establishment? Your appointment availability is posted online. Could I not have showed up on a day you are at Sola? Noticed I did not as showing up unannounced or uninvited is uncouth. As a business owner, would you not want to assess and rectify a client who had concerns about a service that you solely provided? You offered no resolve what so ever other than going ghost. Here's some much needed advice. Make sure when you lie or intend to fabricate the truth, ensure their isn't a digital or paper trail. I didn't call you with my concern, I emailed you. That was and still is a record of our conversation, with electronically stamped dates and times, as are the digital pictures of your craftsmanship and the damage that was caused due to your negligence and incompetence. This is the finale to my review of the services provided by you at your salon. I'm certain this review will disappear in time along with the other poor reviews that were pulled down but to other consumers who may come across this review take this as a forewarning.
