First things first....this place is H U G E…read more This is a GREAT beauty supply shop. I don't work here, but I can honestly tell you that I appreciate good service, and good variety, and that's why I am taking the time to share all of this. Here goes: STAFF The staff is FRIENDLY (how many shops can say that?!) AND KNOWLEDGEABLE...and on top of that, they're NOT A CHAIN!! WOOHOOOOO!!! You've got to get me on this-- the staff greets you with a smile AND a welcoming comment. This isn't like some of those beauty shops that just watch you walk around, or only greet you AFTER they realize that you're there to look seriously and will purchase (you know what I mean). They have a large variety of every type of hair product you can think of. Whether you wear your hair natural, relaxed, curly, wavy, bone straight or a wig, or a weave, this place has something for you. I don't care if you're not black, this place has SOMETHING you can use, and if you don't think they do, the staff there can recommend something that will work. COSMETICS Large variety of affordable eye makeup, lip glosses, lipsticks, foundation, powder, nail care, nail polish and so on. They have a few brands in particular (Eyedol eye shadows, Sinful Colors lipstick, Kiss lipstick) that are priced super well but have decent quality for the price. Their Orly Nail Colors are priced cheaper than Sally's, and they are the current ones, not the clearance or "just about to be discontinued" colors (you know what I mean). I purchased a few eyeshadow kits here for experimenting with new colors and the colors have lasted, don't smear OR crease...AND I had 12 shades in each kit for less than $4. You can't beat that! HAIR Shampoos, conditioners, leave-ins, shine polish/spray/glossers, curly formulas, specialty brands, and so on? They've got it. They sell weave hair and wigs, too. Lots of them! They're also authorized retailers for higher end weave hair, so you can buy that here, too, if that's your thing. They offer a large variety of electronic tools for hair care, including ceramic irons, hair dryers and more, decently priced. They also carry a large variety of hair accessories, from clips to barrettes, at reasonable prices. You'll be surprised. SKIN A number of skin care product lines here, so take your pick, INCLUDING the all natural Nubian Heritage line that's sold at Whole Foods for about triple the price (awesome natural and organic soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and body washes....I'm miffed they don't make any body sprays, because I'd be first in line...but that's another story). NAILS If you do your own, or get them done, you can get the stuff you need here. CLOTHING They sell tshirts, little winter hats and some pants. HOSIERY They have a full line, including fishnet, sheer, footless, specialty design & opaque at ridiculous prices. I was JUST in TJ Maxx looking for opaque black stockings (who DOESN'T need opaque black stockings? lol) and didn't want to pay $6 for them. (Yes, I can be verrrrrrry cheap.) I found them here for less than $3. JEWELRY Who doesn't love a little sparkle? Find it here. They have a lot, ranging from nickel-free, surgical steel, silvertone, goldtone, real sterling silver to gold, too. Crystals and rhinestones abound, too. GENERAL PRICING Inexpensive to moderate, depends on what you're looking for... THE NITTY GRITTY Check. It. Out. for YOURSELF! Go to Redbox in Kroger's in the same shopping center, then go get your beauty on over here. A RANDOM P.S. There's a dollar store in this shopping center that offers some hair items (clips, barrettes, hair spray, that sort of thing) and THIS beauty supply store had even BETTER prices than they did. Lol

I'm sorry that others had a bad experience here; which is quite opposite of my experience. Just…read morefound this place last week and the service from the, owner I suppose, was very helpful. He checked some products that I purchased to make sure they were ok before I left; he did that WITHOUT me asking him to do that. He saw that they weren't good for selling and replaced them for me. This place has everything anyone could want in beauty supplies. The place is nice, neat, well stocked and plenty big!!

After having a consultation with Janelle on a Saturday, I was impressed by how knowledgeable, professional, and her friendliness. I felt so comfortable and confident in her expertise that I immediately booked an appointment for the following Friday. I have to say, this is the best haircut I've had since going natural! Janelle listened to what I wanted, provided great advice, and delivered amazing results. Thank you, Janelle, for such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled natural hair stylist! -- Kee-Kee

The response i got was that there would be a 25% off sale coming up in the future. Super disappointed.

First visit to this hair salon. I called at the last minute, they were able to fit me in for an…read moreappointment. When I arrived I checked in with the receptionist and told her who I was there to see. I was immediately seated, the stylist introduced herself immediately. I felt very comfortable, she washed my hair, even though I told her I had just washed, but I think washing is part of the policy. Afterwards, she gave a good blow dry, pressed me out and curled my hair. Overall , the experience was relaxing and comfortable. There were no ghetto people or crying children running around. It was a very professional experience. The one negative, I didn't really care for how my hair was styled, but maybe I didn't really explain clearly what I wanted. However, I loved the experience and would definitely go back.

I have never been more disappointed in my life. My stylist was Ashley and the only good thing I can…read moresay about her is she was nice, but had absolutely no idea what she was doing. I showed multiple pictures, expressed concerns, spoke up and when I left- I kid you not- my hair looked like an airpod. I went home and immediately took scissors to my hair to fix the haircut she had given me. I did a better job than she did as a professional trained hair stylist. I feel so ugly I won't look in the mirror and I'm in shambles over the uneven, un-blended disaster I was given. I wouldn't go here if i was paid to. Anybody- if you're looking for anything other than a trim- save your 20 bucks and go elsewhere and use that 20 to tip someone who actually knows how to cut hair.

Y'all know what I'm talking about. I was WAY overdue (underscore) but I only like Wella hair coloring products, so I did a quick Wella search on the web and found that Salon XL was on board. WOOT! Salon XL was chic, warm, friendly and close to my hotel...but beyond that, I found Charlie! Listen honeys, she was super cool, very personable...a true and talented stylist of the art! She totally nailed my color, highlights and cut! Can't thank you enough Charlie!!! Bottom line, Salon XL is da bomb!

I feel quite lucky to have found a fine salon and expert stylist. Went to Salon XL and was extremely impressed with the health protocols and the lovely space the owner had created. Most importantly, I got a fabulous precision haircut and was turned onto some hair care products that have made a huge improvement in my greying locks. The quality of the cut is simply excellent. Especially useful for this "absent-minded professor"- the owner graciously sent a reminder to consider coming back in after 5 weeks (super helpful). I still hate ZOOM with a passion but have to admit it is much easier to handle when you get compliments on your haircut. Very highly recommended.
