I would recommend her services and suggest you text her beforehand and sort out all the details prior to showing up to your appointment.

This lady is very unprofessional! Beware she will take your money. My husband had reached out to…read moreher to get his dreads done. They communicate over text message and set up a date and time for him to come in. She asked for a deposit that will go towards his service to confirm his appointment. He sent the money and not once did she say in the text that the deposit was not refundable. My husband goes to his appointment and she started to do his hair and then says you will need to come back in a few months to let your hair grow more? This has never happened to any place my husband has gotten his hair done at. She asked if he wanted his deposit back or to make a new appointment. So my husband made another appointment to come back in two months. Two weeks prior to his appointment he had to cancel due to a family emergency . He asked for his deposit back and she said no. Mind you she was going to give it back last appointment. So then my husband asked if he can come in another day and just have her work on his hair. She said to come in on a a set day they agreed on so she can take a look at his hair again. The day comes and he asked what time he can come in, she never responded that day. She finally response and says for her to look at his hair again he needs to pay another $50? I'm sorry! Your communication skills are horrible and all you're doing is taking money from people who are trying to get work done. You say one thing and do another. Also she never charged my husband for consultation the first time and now you want to charge. Yeah beware.

One of my coworkers stated that for my wedding, "You just don't want to look pretty, but look…read morebeautiful. Be beautiful." Caprice accomplished that and more for my wedding. I was so nervous about finding a beautician for my wedding hairstyle and makeup. I also live across the country from the Bay Area. I needed a beautician that also understood African American hairstyles and makeup. I am so glad I found her. We video chatted about everything I wanted and Caprice made sure I was going to get it. For my wedding, Caprice traveled to my Airbnb and completed my hair and makeup so flawlessly. Caprice was so sweet and friendly. She made me feel like a princess. Thanks Caprice!

Two stars. I went in for a wig install and soft glam makeup. I had a lot of questions for the…read moreowner, Caprice, prior to the appointment. She was super responsive and helpful before our session. The hair and makeup looked amazing as I got out of the chair. I tipped generously for a job well done. I was happy as I left the salon. Everything was all good here. I took off three stars because: 1) Within a day, it was clear the braid-down was too tight. It gave me terrible headaches and an outbreak of tension bumps on my hair line (photo). I was taking Tylenol multiple times a day for a week. 2) I texted to let the owner know I was having issues, and she didn't get back to me at all. When I didn't hear from her, I took the install down myself. It hurt that badly. 3) When I followed up with her again a day or two later, the owner denied that anything was wrong with the install. She blamed my week of headaches and rash of tension bumps on me being "tender-headed". The tone of the message was snarky and defensive. In sum, her fees for the lace wig install are high ($435) and I tipped her well for how good the final look was. Later, when I had an issue with my install as a result of overly tight braids/sew-in and asked for help, she made it seem like it was my fault. That felt terrible. Despite paying over $500 to get my hair done, I was very disappointed by the lack of professionalism and customer service that was demonstrated in my case. It's not normal to have splitting headaches and rash of tension bumps after a wig install. To be told otherwise is just nonsense. REPLY TO OWNER'S RESPONSE 1) Caprice wasn't going above and beyond to by "allowing me" to come in one day after the wig install for a makeup session. She had an opening on her calendar. I wanted a bridal glam consultation. We discussed it. We booked it. A plain and simple standard service for any client 2) Caprice didn't give me a middle part when I saw her the second day. I had already given myself a middle part. But yes, Caprice helped flatten it to lay down. And yes, Caprice also recurled my hair. 3) When I saw the owner the day after the install for the makeup appointment, I didn't mention headaches because I expected some pain and discomfort immediately after a wig installation. At that time, I was taking Tylenol and waiting for it to fade. What I didn't think was reasonable - was for the pain to continue unabated for 5+ days. I also didn't expect to be ghosted for multiple days after I reached out with my concern. Further, there's photo evidence of tension bumps on my hairline. Those are never supposed to happen. You don't get a tension bumps rash from being "tenderheaded". That's a result of an irritated scalp after overly tight braiding. This is how you get traction alopecia. 4) We didn't try multiple hair styles. We discussed the possibility of seeing multiple looks, but ended up only trialing one: curled hair cascading down the shoulders. 5) The experience wasn't all bad, which is why this review is 2 stars - instead of less. Before the appointment, Caprice spent a significant amount of time answering my questions and consulting with me about the hair and getting the wig bleached and plucked. During the install, we had a nice time chatting. The hair and makeup looked stunning. After the install, she gave me advice via text on what products to use. Throughout all this, she was friendly and very responsive. I tipped her 18-20% on the services, paying over $600 in total for hair and makeup. Though expensive, I considered this a worthwhile investment in my bridal consultation process. I assumed (wrongly) that her premium prices would mean that she would be committed to customer satisfaction as part of her brand. 6) My negative experience began when I complained about the headaches and wig discomfort - Caprice did a complete 180 on me. This was totally unexpected, given the prior interactions. She disappeared from text until I chased her down, and she was defensive and dismissive of my complaint - a complaint that was about being in pain - not that something was wrong with the look itself. I've always said the look was great. This complaint was about hair health. As such, I was hoping for a more sympathetic response, and for her to demonstrate that she cared. To not see that has been incredibly disappointing.

I found Mila's business via Yelp; reached out for a quote and consultation, and she accepted photos and talked with me about my hair texture, desired style(s), made suggestions on hair, the whole ting! Fast forward to a half day later (we all know individuals take TIIIIIIME, sis!!!) and I was definitely feelin myself for my birthday hair‍ My hair is short and because I wanted brown braids you can see where my ends stop. The salon manager kept suggesting I "clip" my ends as the normal thing to do when they're visible but I'm like--chill, sis! This weave is temporary and my natural curls are definitely not getting clipped to blend into a synthetic braid--needless to say, I'm glad Mila was my stylist because she never made such a silly suggestion. She listened when I shared I don't put heat on my 2b2c3a3b3c combo curl fro and even shared the ingredients of the product she used in my hair. Pro tip; if you're allergic to the coating that's on synthetic weave, the ACV+hot water rinse works well! Be sure to prep the weave at least a day in advance so it has time to dry and handle with care so it doesn't get all tangled. Thank you, Mila! Sorry it took me so long to write this review.
