TL;DR Went for a basic single process / grey coverage and left with brassy hot roots…read more After having a couple bad experiences at my previous salon, I decided to try this location given the strong reviews. 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.

I think I found my hair soul mate. I have met someone who is as meticulous as I am…read more From the moment we met Russel's energy was great. I knew right away that he knew what he was doing when he cut my bangs, which I am the most picky about. Earning my trust from the start of the appointment was huge, but his skill and attention to detail continued throughout the appointment. He told me about my hair, troubleshot my scalp issues, and he took the time to make sure the hair in my bangs was equal on both sides - something that seems so obvious, but no stylist has done in over 16 years. He used to own a salon in SF and has been in the industry a long time, which shows through in everything he does. I already booked an appointment to come back in two weeks for a color. I should also say this was my first time here, because I normally book an appointment near my office in Manhattan, but I'm glad I came. The salon is great, clean, and I love how they display their work in beautiful photography on the walls. I've definitely found my new salon. Bonus: they have a loyalty program!! Highly recommend.

Context: I am incredibly particular, and since I was a makeup artist for many years, I have a level of attention to detail where I see EVERYTHING. I have a blunt bob cut, which seems easy enough, but precision is key. Lauren was highly detail-oriented, thorough, methodical, and meticulous... in other words, very much like me! (a fun coincidence, since my name is also Lauren) She was also kind and gave off a vibe where I felt heard and taken care of. She had great communication and we agreed upon every decision throughout the entire cut. The salon was clean and vibrant. I loved the music and the fact that they offer you a selection of beverages when you arrive. Most of all, I'm glad they let me bring my small dog, who is an angel and sits on my lap the entire time without making a sound. I will definitely be back!

Sitting in her chair is such a calm and enriching experience. i always learn something new when i see her. She has gentle hands that have treated all of my follicles with care, which is esp important to me because i'm tender-headed. i was recently somewhat indecisive about what style i wanted: goddess braids vs short havana twists, and Jennifer took her time to examine my hair and walk me through the pros and cons of all the styles i was contemplating. In the end, i decided on the short havanas as they'll last longer. Now, important to note: Jennifer's pricing is a bit higher than most, but it's because she CARES about your hair and won't let you wild out and do something foolish that'll have you jacked up for the long term. Don't nobody got time to be losing their edges! Lots of other places will charge you a ton of $ just to put a ton of tension on your scalp and next thing you know, you have no hair. No thanks. Jennifer provided professional styling with superior products and with my time constraints as well as wishes in mind. She got my havanas done in 3.5 hours exactly! i'm so happy with my latest style and will be sure to see Jennifer for my next one. Natural Hollywood is where it's at.

She washed my hair without tangling it and installed my style without leaving me with a headache and unsure of whether I liked the way the style looked on me. She made my hairstyle all my own and complimentary of my face. I would recommend Jennifer to anyway that is excited about having a stylist that has an interest in preserving the integrity of your hair while creating cute and protective styles for you! 10/10 for service, conversation, and products.

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.
