She oiled my scalp and checked to make sure my braids weren't too tight. Nikita finished my install promptly and made sure the style framed my face well. She even recommended some products to me and I was on my way looking fabulous! 100% Recommend and I'll be back! Also check out Mimi who slays eyebrows and eyelashes!

I am extremely heart-broken to share that I received the sad news that Julie is no longer with us. I wanted to write this to let her other clients know in case anyone is left wondering what happened to the one of a kind beautiful owner of this well established hidden gem of a salon. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace Julie! You are very loved and will forever be missed.

I had a haircut here a couple of weeks ago. My husband also got a haircut from her and he left a…read morereview below. He's not happy with his result as well. All I asked for was a simple trim, as I had been growing out my hair for 16 months--which I explicitly mentioned--along with light layering. I even showed a reference picture to clarify how minimal I wanted the layers to be. Unfortunately, she ended up chopping off more than half my length, creating an extreme difference between the layers. The back was cut so short that it keeps falling forward, and I can't even use my hair claws anymore. Shockingly, the back ended up even shorter than my bangs. I never wanted my hair this short after 16 months of patient growth. I trusted her, and because of this cut, I had to spend over $1,000 on hair extensions just to fix it. I deeply regret not asking for a refund for this haircut or requesting reimbursement for the extension costs I had to incur to fix her mistake. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews to support local businesses, but this was honestly the worst experience I've ever had with any stylist. Even after two weeks, I still get upset every time I look in the mirror. While hair eventually grows back, there's no restoring the 16 months of effort I lost. I tried to blame myself, thinking I should have been even more specific, but showing a clear reference photo should have been enough. A professional stylist should have known that my hair type wouldn't work with this short length without a perm. It ended up looking like a giant mushroom and is far too short to style. I tried to let it go, but the frustration and disappointment remain. In the end, she offered me a free haircut for next time after my hair grows back. But how could I ever trust her with my hair again after this? Besides, since my hair is now even shorter than before I spent 16 months growing it, how long will it take before I even need another haircut? 2 years? 3 years? A free haircut is completely meaningless and does not make up for what happened. Compensation for this terrible mistake should be a full refund and coverage for the hair extension costs I had to pay to fix her mistake. This isn't just about a bad haircut or the lost growth; it's about the hours of my time that were completely wasted. I had to spend time finding a proper extension salon, traveling to and from the appointment, and sitting through the hours-long service. I deserve to be compensated for all of that lost time. I trusted her because glory hair had 4.2 star reviews, but... this is what I am still facing every single day. Please be cautious if you are planning to get a haircut from Jessie unless you want to ruin your next 2 years.

I was out of ideas for possible hairstyles, so I procrastinated and skipped haircuts for a while. I…read morewas surprised at how comfortable this appointment ended up being. They talked to me a little to get the general idea of how much styling I actually do and helped a lot with that. I was afraid they would take off too much length since I said I wanted to keep the length, but the cut was clean and easy to manage. The shampoo was nice and the blow dry was a pleasant change to some of the other cut and dry styles. The blow Dry left my hair sitting in a pleasant natural shape, not dry and crispy. The salon was a nice and lenient space and gave the effect of a well managed and not overbooked appointment. By the time I got home my hair was still sitting nicely, which is a great sign that the cut was done well. I will for sure consider coming back for my next trim.

Update: November 7, 2017…read more I was contacted by Toi, the owner, who was very apologetic about my experience and addressed the issue immediately and the prices were updated on their site to reflect their new prices. Aside from this experience I was happy and had been a customer since 2014 when they were in their previous location. The quality of the hair is good as it was my back up go-to, and the best part is that they hold normal retail hours and generally have the length and style I'm looking for when I stop by. Staff were friendly and helpful and the boutique is open and welcoming. Thank you to Toi for following up with me. Anyone looking for hair, I highly recommend you try Renown Hair!

I was told there was no stylist there and someone would give me a call the next day... No one called I paid $225 for a hair style that didn't last 8 hours. Very upset. Eben more upset that no one called to follow up. I might buy the hair and I would let her cut my hair again, but I will never pay for another install. Bad service, worse customer service.
