The Hair Cafe is the bomb all the way around, from the front desk receptionist, to being offered a drink, the vibe and music and how genuinely happy and kind everyone is. I went to Monique for my cut and she was patient, understanding and gave her insight and opinion in how I wanted my cut. Due to life events and stress, my hair was thinning and I wanted a short cut to start over yet still feel and look beautiful with short hair. She did exactly that! She even played up my natural waves and curls for low maintenance care. She offered hair care products/recommendations that I will be definitely be utilizing! Monique, thank you so much for making my day and giving me the best hair care experience! read more

The salon owner reached out to me with a beautifully authored and empathetic email. I truly appreciated that she was not instantly defensive and was open to learning about our disappointing experience, as those details must be difficult to hear as a business owner. Though I'm uncertain if we will return or not, her approach did rebuild my confidence that she is approachable during difficult situations and strives to run her salon to the best of her ability. Thank you, Monique. read more

Monique is amazing, can't recommend her or this salon enough. Will definitely be back!!

Mo is amazing. When I arrived, I had severely damaged hair that was falling out. I found this place via Yelp and read a note about restorative techniques. I've seen Mo about five times, and my hair looks great. I receive compliments all the time, even between appointments and after working out daily. I like the products she uses. But best of all, the salon is a very fun environment. Everyone is nice, even the customers.. They always give me a glass of wine, and we talk like best friends. I mean, all the ladies talk to me. It's nice, like hanging out with friends. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The salon is very nice inside, very modern & chic. They have really good R&B type music playing as well. As soon as I walked in, I wasn't greeted by anyone as the host stand was empty, so I stood there for a few minutes. But Then a stylist (I'm assuming was the manager) was at another persons chair doing hair, said hello and would help me soon. But the host who was done sweeping still didn't say anything to me as I was sitting down right in front of her. I then noticed her & other people eating McDonald's at the front host desk as well. As far as the service, I will say my hair was perfectly straightened by the time I left. I believe it was Lani that did my hair. The only thing that could've been a little bit better was the wash. The water pressure was so high, I was getting soaked everywhere & it was splashing all the way to my chin even with my head tilted back. My collar on my shirt was even soaked & I've never had that happen before. However my hair was slick straight and that's all that mattered to me. Just a heads up regarding the washing process. read more

My experience was horrible. They did not take their time with my hair. They lie about their availability. They'll schedule an appointment and then they'll cancel it and when they don't want to do your hair, especially Loni she made it very obvious to the point where she left the back of my hair matted, and as I left the salon, it was still a mess and they only gave me back half of my money ~Response. My card was not declined the style was done and paid for in full and i left with the hair wet and not fully blown dried. Im sure my hair was a little matted and again thats why I went to "professionals" My refund was then given back once I called in with a complaint. read more

They're always phenomenal when I go to get my hair done! They always know how to treat my hair and always listen to exactly what I want!

Very disappointed! The event my high school reunion. I have soft wavy hair and I asked for those waves to be brought out so they would stand out more. I didn't want straight hair. I didn't want a curl at the end of my long streaks anyways long story short, I was very unhappy. With the result I asked her to fix it. She insisted it look great. I'm gonna tell you through the pictures you'll see , it all fell. There were no curls as I walked into my reunion. My hair was flat pay too much money to be disappointed and steal after I complained, they never even asked me to come in so they could fix it or do it again. read more

I had said I wanted a partial balayage plus a haircut. I don't want thinning shears or razor cutting-I need full ends for round brush styling. I did not say no scissors, which would not make since at all. You got back on the line gave me a quote of $600 and didn't offer no other stylist just a short answer of the price and said that certain stylist only does razor cutting. Now if razor cutting is referring to scissors then that should of been said to me. I replied that i did not want that done using the razor due to the fact my ends are balso damaged. Your reply was, Oh ya, thats how she does it. No other option was given to me. so I said no its ok and you replied ok, thank you and hung up. First of all $600 for a partial bayalage and cut is way way to overpriced, and along with not accomondating to a new client tells me a lot about this salon. so please dont try to sound friendly and making other suggestions when I was not offered. There are way to many others to go to. read more

Great salon, great atmosphere. Josephine is amazing. She does a fantastic job, she is very knowledgeable about hair and how to help it grow. My hair looks amazing when she's done. I am looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you so much. read more

I never write reviews on yelp but it has to be said. First, some background. I scheduled a blow out the day of my birthday dinner. My appointment was with Arlene and I was super hopeful because of the reviews for this place. She washed my hair very well, but that was the only good thing about my service. Not that I care that much but the environment was unprofessional and it seemed as if they had overbooked Arlene because in the middle of my service 2 people had come in saying they were there for an appointment with her. You could tell Arlene started rushing once this happened because when doing my blowout she would pin up each section but towards the end she literally stopped sectioning my hair and started blow drying in big chunks and stopped pinning up my hair (she was visibly rushing). These are just a few things that bothered me about the service but again i didn't mind too much. Now to address the big issues for me. 1. When i first came and sat in the chair Arlene asks "do you want a round brush type of look or curling iron". Since im not a hairstylist I told her that I actually had an inspo. picture hoping that she would then tell ME what type of tool is needed to achieve the look i wanted. but no .. she just says (in an annoyed voice) "so round brush or curling iron" after looking at my inspo. pic. I should've spoken up and asked her what SHE thought but i figured since I showed her the picture maybe she knew she could achieve the look with either round brush or curling iron and was just asking which one I preferred. I told her "round brush". 2. At the end of the service, like I said, it was very rushed but I was faced away from the mirror the whole time so I just remained hopeful. But, when she faced me towards the mirror at the end of the service, I wanted to cry. My hair was almost pin straight, something I could've easily achieved at home and NOTHING like what I asked for (pictures included) . I'm not a confrontational person at all so of course I proceeded to pay (and tip) .. But i'm just so frustrated with the experience and the $90 that was wasted. :( As you can see in the pictures below (left is inspo. pic. & right is my result) my results were nothing like the picture and didn't look professionally done at all. Just to put this in perspective, my sister had actually decided to blow out her hair on her own and when I came home from my appointment her hair had way more volume than mine did.. a professional service. Do what you will with this info. ! read more

I took my son here for detangling his matted/dreaded portion of his hair. Carly quickly recommended the hair to be cut. It was great to have an honest opinion from Carly who provided us with her professional opinion. She also suggested a local barber who took care of my son's hair. Will be recommending The Hair Cafe to friends nearby. read more

Arlene is a fantastic hair stylist, & colorist. I thought highlights would look nice on my hair with a mahogany tone, but she felt I may like bayalage highlights instead. I also didn't know what color to choose after, so I asked for her professional opinion and I am soo glad I went with ash blonde. I love the new look I was given, it's different and refreshing. My face looks brighter & I just love all of it! I recieved many compliments from family and coworkers. I am so happy with my new hair style. I truly feel the hair cafe rocks! I am now a fan of this salon & definitely will be returning for everything hair here. read more

absolutely horrible. Do not go there Ashley was the person that did my hair that's all I wanted to do is cover my grades. I had color all over over my hairline and also on my ears before I left and she told me to go home and use dish soap on my hair to make sure it would come off my face and could care. She also used a rag that was bleached out with chemicals on it to try to wipe off my face. Absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend this place at all. Do not hundred dollars read more

First time customer, requesting a silk press and I was not disappointed. Monique asked me if I had any concerns and checked to see if my hair was shedding. She washed & conditioned my hair thoroughly. She spent time on my hair which was refreshing. I enjoyed our conversation. I also was so happy with the end results that I made another appointment for next month. I've found my hairstylist. read more

Had a great color job and bang trim by Loni!! I had a general idea of what I wanted, but, honestly, it was my first time dying my hair. I wanted to go darker than my natural medium brown, but not too dark that the color would look synthetic. Loni understood the assignment! On the color chart I picked out a really dark black (just below jet black), but Loni did some kind of color magic that resulted in the perfect shade. I swear, I NEVER leave a salon satisfied. This was the FIRST time I was so happy as soon as I saw myself in the mirror. She gave me the darker tint I was looking for, but also it looked very natural, which is what I wanted and was my biggest worry going in. She was also very sweet and attentive throughout the whole process. And unlike most salons, this place wasn't overpriced. Will definitely be back to see Loni again. read more

I was very disappointed. My concerns and preferences weren't addressed, and the outcome was completely different from what I wanted; it seemed more like what she thought looked good. I walked in with light highlights and left with brown hair. Now I have to find someone who can do color correction. I won't be returning. read more

If you are looking for your next salon, The Hair Cafe is the place to go!!! From the moment I walked in the door the entire staff was welcoming and very sweet! I specifically was there to see the TALENTED Captoria! I was a bit nervous having my hair dyed professionally for the first time, but Captoria made sure I felt comfortable, walking me through each step she made! The entire process took about 4 hours or so... and the result WAS SICKENING! I was so pleased with the color, specifically the way it ombré's... Her infectious energy and passion for her work was transparent from the moment I met her. Cannot wait to see the next look she pulls off on me :) Book now with Captoria. You will not regret it!! read more

After researching for weeks I decided to try the hair cafe. They had great reviews. I liked the pics that I saw of the work that was done there so I made the appt. Captoria was able to meet with me sooner than expected. I pulled into the parking lot and was so happy to see that the location was great. The salon is super bright and very chic. I was greeted as I walked in and offered a beverage. I waited maybe 15 minutes then was in my seat. She asked me what I was looking for in terms of my cut. I showed her some pics and told her, " Just make it look good". I showed her a few pics. She said okay. Washed my hair and then proceeded to work her magic. I love my cut and am so excited to have found her. Captoria, I will see you soon. read more

New client: Was welcomed warmly into the salon. They ask if you'd like tea, coffee, or other beverages which I though was sweet. Stephanie did my hair, and she was very kind and has a fun and spunky spirit. She was very attuned to my hair care needs as I had color in my hair and making her not to put too much heat on my hair if it didn't need it. Just got a press and curl. Overall a nice experience and I'd come back! read more

This was my second trip to the salon and as last time everyone is super friendly and welcoming as expected, and I was happy to see the owner. However my visit today was far from what I wanted. The first time I got my hair done it was by the owner, I absolutely loved it. A new stylist did my hair today and I didn't like it all. She Even referred to as "Auntie vibes" when she was done..... I'm 24. It Wasn't funny. I won't say her name as you have to take these things with a grain of salt. What didn't work for my hair may work for another's with that stylist and someone else may love it. But I paid 165$ for something I tied up as soon as I got to my car lol I beyond upset I almost didn't tip aha. But this shop is still amazing and I will continue to take my business their as I love supporting black business owners.. but moving forward for me only the owner will be touching my head from now on... And if she can't no one will be taking a flat iron or curler to my head. Just a trim lol. read more

I was going to a Halloween music festival and I needed to wear a wig for my Halloween costume. Because I have long hair, I needed to get my hair braided first. I scheduled an appointment with the braider, Shianne. When I arrived at the salon, I loved the vibes there. It was very clean. While I was waiting for my appointment, I realized I forgot to bring a water bottle and felt thirsty. The lady at the front desk offered me a drink before I could ask. That was very kind. Throughout my appointment with Shianne, she was super nice and friendly. I could tell she was a pro at braiding because she worked very quickly and efficiently, and the braids looked perfect at the same time. She truly went above and beyond because she even helped me put on the wig cap and wig, and cut the bangs. I was very grateful that she helped me with that because I am terrible at putting wigs on myself. She put it on so securely that it hadn't budged one bit after 8 hours of walking and dancing outdoors. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again. read more
