I had yearbook photos at Tulane the next morning so I just needed something to make it look better. I didn't really know what I wanted, but she took the time to talk everything through with me, listened, and made me feel really comfortable. I ended up trusting her to take the lead and she completely delivered. She reshaped everything into a more feminine, balanced look that actually frames my face so much better. I walked out feeling so much more confident and honestly just really happy with my hair again. Nicole is amazing -- you can tell she really cares and knows what she's doing. I'm so glad I found her

I went to Ally Bally and asked for a simple cut and face framing color-something I've asked for many times at other salons and always been happy with the result. Not rocket science. Not only did she give me the absolute worst cut and color of my entire life (very noticeably uneven length and bright yellow streaks near my face while the rest of my hair is light brown), she also made me feel very uncomfortable. She asked me where I'm from originally and then proceeded to say offensive things about my home state. All while joking around very unprofessionally with her coworkers.

Parking was surprisingly easy and convenient. We made the appointment online and it started on time and with our preselected hair dresser. The general salon and waiting area was a bit too loud for my daughter but when she went to get her hair washed, we noticed a "Quiet waiting area"!! I love this fact, especially for my child who is autistic. My daughter loved the hair massage as her hair was prepped for cutting. The hairdresser was calm, friendly and really listened to what we wanted. She was great at matching the pictures that we brought for examples. We will be back and I think I will also try them for my own curly hair.

Unfortunately on the day of my appointment I got tied up at work, and was over a half hour late. I called before my appointment time to see if I could reschedule and was told they'd work me in. And they sure did! I felt so guilty but they were more than accommodating. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and Kaci did a great job with my hair for a price that made me much more likely to come back in the recommended span of time (I er, let it go too long sometimes because I don't want to pay an arm and a leg just for a cut!). I certainly recommend coming here, and it's worth the drive from the city! I'll most definitely return, and soon!

I forgot why I stopped going here. I won't forget again. When I arrived I asked if I would be done…read moreby 3, she said yes. I also asked how much my services would be, I was quoted $60/65. My wait time was short. At the bowl the lady shampooing my hair asked if I wanted a deep conditioner. I told her yes initially, she told me it'd be an extra $10 I said ok. I look at the time a realized I didn't have enough time to do the deep conditioner, she said ok. She proceeded to do what I assumed was a regular conditioner and detangle (I'm natural this was also VERY visible when I entered the salon) I was told to sit in another chair (with conditioner in my hair) she began washing someone else then after speaking with her coworker decided to rinse my hair out. For some reason my hair got blowdried instead of set on rollers. I go up to the desk to pay and the owner says "oh you got a deep conditioner too right" I explained to her what happens and she says ok. She then proceeded to tell me that my services came up to $80, a $15-$20 hike SUDDENLY. When I asked why is it something different than what I was quoted, and she told me it was due to my hair needing to be detangled. When I asked if they could tell me that the deep conditioner was an added service why didn't they mention the added detangling fee, she responded with the total again saying my hair was really tangled. The detangling process took all of 15 mins ( I KEEEP my hair pressed, I'm a "straight natural"). I wouldn't spend another copper red cent here. I'm also terrified I have heat damage now because of the amount times she passed the flat iron over my hair. I need to edit this and say that my scalp is still dirty but according to the owner my scalp is dry. Save yourself and save your coins.

Beware if You Have Type 3c - 4c Hair - Especially 4C…read more I had an incredibly disappointing and heartbreaking experience at Vanessa's Salon. If you have Type 3 or 4 hair particularly 4C please proceed with caution. I went in with a full head of healthy, shoulder-length hair. I had just taken out braids and detangled my hair before my appointment. Despite that, the stylist handled my hair with little to no care during the shampoo and conditioning process. It became painfully clear that they were not trained or equipped to properly manage 4C hair textures. By the time my appointment ended, I was in tears. I went in with thick, healthy hair and left with thin, broken strands and see-through ends. Damaged to the point where I will now have to go back to a pixie cut. To make matters worse, I didn't even receive a style that involved direct heat just a roller set under a dryer. So there is no reason my hair should have sustained this level of damage. When I brought up my concerns to the owner, instead of offering an apology or trying to make it right, she told me my hair was already broken when I arrived. That was simply not true. My regular stylist, who has helped me grow my hair out from a pixie cut over the past four years, can vouch for the condition my hair was in before I walked into this salon. The only reason I came here was because my usual stylist was unavailable. To be dismissed, insulted, and told to leave the salon because I voiced my frustration was incredibly unprofessional. Hearing the owner insult me in Spanish on top of everything else only made the experience worse. This salon does not prioritize the health of your hair, nor does it have the skill or care to manage natural textures. Please save yourself the trauma and go somewhere that respects and understands your hair type. Worst decision I've made for my hair. I'll never return--and I hope you don't either.

Live out your Steel Magnolias fantasies here, y'all! And Jessica will be your Dolly Parton (true story, as I was leaving the salon yesterday, Dolly came on the sound system so I couldn't help but think about this). For my first appointment, actually even before that, I had a consultation first where she assessed my hair and we discussed what I wanted and what could be done to it. I wanted a balayage situation with purple, but my hair is almost black so it would need to be lightened... gradually because my hair is damaged/thin so she wanted to be careful. My return appointment was an entire day affair thanks to the color lifting. The purple was amazing, however once I got home, I realized it didn't take in the back and there were some orange-y spots so I called the salon. Jessica spoke to me and insisted that I come back so that she could fix it. And I was there for another two hours at no charge. Ultimately there was a small bit of hair that did not take the dye and sometimes that's going to be the case. I still loved the results and literally got compliments wherever I went. I didn't even need touching up but I went back yesterday after four months and I don't know what she did differently but this color is a gorgeous, rich dark brown with slight purple highlights. And I am in love with my haircut, too (slight shaping and trim goes such a long way). Thanks to Jessica for being such an approachable, skilled stylist (check out her Youtube channel) and Sarah and the rest of the reception staff for being so nice. I'm so happy to have the Steel Magnolias salon of my dreams here in New Orleans!
