They reached out to confirm the details and helped me figure out the exact style I wanted. The salon itself was clean and comfortable, and they provided snacks and drinks--which was definitely appreciated since I was there for about six hours! My hairdresser was also incredibly kind and made the whole experience pleasant. Most importantly, my hair came out AMAZING. I seriously haven't stopped getting compliments! The price is absolutely worth the level of service and overall experience you receive. I'll definitely be back.

My appt was at 4:30 and I think I left the salon at 9:30ish. The style turned out so good, it was 100% worth the money! My only negative feedback is I felt like the salon could have been cleaner. The salon is due for a good deep clean. Also they need to lock the doors when the salons closes in order to keep the workers and the customers safe. A homeless guy walked in and scared everyone.

Recently moved to NY so I'm looking for a stylist to give me a decent hair cut.. Granted as you all…read morecan see from my picture, I had a tapered cut.. I want some parts to be trimmed and cut..Well, let's just say it was a complete nightmare. I saw ""Sandra" because someone I met recommended her.. I trust it. Here is one of the many bad things that occurred that day.. If you have short super coily hair I'm sure you'll sympathize with me.. He is what irritated me.. She never listened to what I actually wanted.. I asked please don't cut my sides, I'm just looking for a little more shape.. No, she did her own thing.. Which made me more and more anxious.. I asked her to cut my hair wet because my hair has so much elasticity and bounce to it I don't know how you're really cutting.. AGAIN, she just never listened... Haircuts shouldn't be a scary and anxiety filling experience but this stylist doesn't really know how to please her clients but rather prefer to disregard you.. Do yourself a major favor and avoid this headache. Good luck!

The owner then asked to see the photo from their tictok of a style they previously did that I wanted for a second time to show the braided that would be doing my hair. She then takes my phone downstairs and never comes back with it. After my hair is conditioned and blowed. I had to get up and ask her for my phone and she acted clueless and told me to call it and she would go down stairs and find it. She comes back with my phone. I wait about 25 mins for a braider and she ask to see the photo 2 times and then shows me the first braid which is clearly significantly smaller than the photo but at this point I just want my hair done and to go home. I ask her to do the braids a lil thicker after the first one and she does. She gets to the second braid on the second roll and the owner comes and ask me if the braids are okay. I take a photo. And say the bottom is okay but the second roll is way too thick and she starts to laugh. And say they look the same. I show her the photo and she just cuts them out and makes the braider start again. I got there at 5:15 and was done around 11pm. The owner ask about taking a photo and I respectfully decline. I was so ready to get out of there I didn't even look past the front of my hair. The next morning I get up and take my bonnet off. I pull all the braids to the front and realize half of them are fizzed where my hair is. I've never experienced anything like this in my life. I'll never go back.

Simplee Horrible!! I went there twice (fool me twice) and had 2 terrible experiences. But, this…read morelast one took the cake. 1st visit: 2 weeks ago I asked for a "glam wave twist out" with clip in extensions added. Diane, the owner recommended a hair company for the extensions and I followed her recommendation. Prior to my appointment I asked Diane if the hair texture of the extensions were correct for my hair. She said yes. Appointment day approaches: Time of the appointment - 10am. When did I leave the shop? 9pm!! She twisted, took it out, re-twisted, looked left, looked right, up and down and basically seemed like she didn't know what she was doing. Diane's reasoning was that the extension hair didn't match my texture. I paid $261 dollars and left out feeling dissatisfied with the style. (Also her attitude was horrid) however, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and returned 2 weeks later. 2nd visit: Today. Now this is the part!! This time around I asked for a Sade ponytail (as it states on her site) which is basically a low ponytail that is braided with extension hair. I will let the pictures talk for themselves. I paid $125!! Again, she blamed the braiding hair, she blamed my hair length and everything else except her lack of skill. $125 and 3.5 hours later and voila!! Client beware!!!

I have been doing my own hair for a long time now and since returning to natural over seven years…read moreago, I've only visited one "natural" salon that made me reluctant to try any other for many years. A girlfriend of mine actually gave me the info for a different stylist that she uses regularly but upon calling up for a consultation, he referred me to Diane based on what I wanted to have done. I subsequently called Simplee Beautiful and made an appointment for the following week. I was initially relieved that I could just walk in and not have to have a consultationIt was a 2pm appointment and I got there pretty early but had to wait. I've never seen a set up like this before. It's like a salon mall. The location is a commercial building that housing various businesses. The salons are located on the lobby floor, towards the left at the Sola Salon Studios. There has to be at least twenty mini salons that make up the entire area. They're pretty cute, well-kept and clean. I basically just had to wait until the owner came to begin the process. She arrived at my appointment time and we spoke about what I would be getting done. I wanted to get a colour and have my hair lightened. We decided to cut a significant amount off because I want to make sure I'm starting off healthy. To reiterate, I do my hair myself so I treat, wash and style my own hair at home. Based on the state of my hair and what I explained my regiment to be, Diane offered up some key suggestions to help improve the state and health of my hair. She told me what I was doing wrong and told me exactly what to do and what products to use on my own based on my active lifestyle in order to achieve better results. She gave me a paper an pen so I could write everything down. I didn't walk out until 730 which was difficult. My stomach was growling and this is another reason why I kind of dislike natural salon visits because let's face it, it's going to take a longer time than if the hair is chemically treated or naturally straight which is another reason I prefer to do my own hair on my own time. If I'm going to be anywhere for that amount of time, Id rather be enjoying myself but to at least be in the comfort of your own home makes it a bit more tolerable. In her defense, my colour took a bit longer than expected because she did not use bleach to lift my hair colour, which I respect A LOT, and because my hair was so difficult, she had to process it for longer. In the end, I loved my colour and as for the cut; it's growing on me and I know it's for the best. The price, however, was a little outrageous. I ended up spending $300 for a cut, colour and twist-out style which I think is extravagant. I was prepared to pay close to that for what I originally intended to have done (dyeing clip-in pieces to match and style everything) but a big chunk of that got taken off the table while we were discussing possibilities so, I have no idea where the styling portion of my balance came out to $135.00. She had already quoted me $100 + $10 for the colour and extra processing time plus $55 for the cut. I am definitely willing to pay for something if it's worth it. I probably would have been a return customer had the end price not been so ridiculous and also not explained considering we changed the original plan, the fact that I was e-mailed a receipt without itemization and the length of time I spent, I probably would not come back. I basically spent 6 hours of my last vacation day, sweating under a dryer and steamer. As I said before, I was given a lot of gems of information during my visit and I definitely took notes, asked questions and picked Diane's brain for anything that might help improve my natural hair journey and I plan to implement her suggestions in my regiment, beginning this weekend after my heavy workout days. While I wouldn't go back, I am at least happy that I left looking good and got a chance to get information that will ultimately help me in the long run. If you do decide to check out this salon or any of the other salons located in Sola Salon Studios, make sure the stylist is aware of exactly what you want and you're both satisfied with what will be done and how much each service will cost. So, if you call up for an appointment and they schedule you, you may want to ask for a consultation first so that everyone is on the same page. I said before that I was initially relieved that she Diane did not require a consultation prior to an appointment but hindsight, I think I could have made a more educated decision on whether or not the price would be worth it as well as knowing exactly for what I am paying.

This is my fourth time coming here to get my hair done by Michelle, who happens to be the owner…read more How did I hear about this salon? I didn't but I happened to be driving by one day in desperate need of a new hair stylist. I'm very particular when it comes down to who does my hair. The day that I came in here, it was early in the morning and not a lot of people were there yet. I spoke to Michelle and still didn't know that she was the owner. I asked for a certain style and she proceeded to comply with my wish. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she executed it exactly the way that I wanted. I was sold and satisfied that I had indeed found someone who can do my hair properly. She excels in what she does. I've sat and waited for her to do my hair and watched how wonderful all of her customers look when they rise up out of her chair. You can either book an appt with her or come in as a walk-in. There are other stylists here that are also great at their skill. If you are looking for a new salon, then your search has finally come to an end. Updated 7/7/18 There are now two nail stations in the back of the hair salon.

Originally, I came to this salon to get my nails done by Tracy. As I walk-in I seen Dionne…read more(braider) Who happens to be sitting there. Tracy had other clients ahead of me I asked Dionne for her business card and once I've got her information I looked her up on Instagram that was listed on the card and I kid you not Dionne's braiding skills are awesome. So I gave her a try because I desperately needed my hair done and within 2-3 hrs I was out of the chair. She braided my hair nice and neat & plus left my edges alone which is a huge relief because braiders I've encountered in the past always touched my edges. I'll definitely be coming back for Dionne to do my braids she's very skilled, talented and takes pride in her work. UPDATE: I'll be going back to Dionne the ending of next month to get Feed-In Braids in a Bun as I've mentioned before she's super talented and patient. Plus, prices are very very affordable!!
