I do not recommend this establishment. Over the last few years, business for this establishment has…read moredwindled as I believe it's highly due to a lack of decent customer service. Because I know my products, know what braiding material I need, and for the most part, wear my hair in its natural state, I never need assistance from staff in finding products. Lately I've been noticing interactions between the owners and certain customers. I've watched them greet, be friendly, and make eye contact with various groups of people, but when it comes to Black Americans you appear distant, not friendly, refuse to greet, and have a look of disdain when approached by a Black American. I witnessed the owner standing at the front entrance yesterday, greet a Hispanic couple and an Ethiopian man and blatantly ignore a Black American woman entering the store. Most of your products are Black American inspired! Your business has THRIVED over the years as a result of BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN and you continue to have this audacity!

Nuzhat has been doing my hair at Ulta for the last year, and she is amazing. First she listens to…read moreme and what I desire but she also advises me on how to achieve it. When I came to her, I had significant amount of hair dye already in my hair (think close to orange) and told her I wanted to be blonde. She said she said it's possible but to do it right it will take two sittings and explained exactly why. And no kidding she fixed it. She has knowledge and wisdom that only comes from stylists who have been doing hair for a long time and still willing to learn more. I highly recommend when you book an appointment, ask for Nuzhat.

Very disappointing and disorganized experience at this Ulta salon…read more The appointment included a root touch-up, haircut, and eyebrow lamination, tint, and shaping. The hairstylist was very kind and professional, but unfortunately, the overall experience was frustrating. While the hair color was processing, I repeatedly asked about the scheduled eyebrow appointment. One stylist started preparing for the eyebrow service, but the receptionist stopped her and said another employee would do it. Then we waited another 15 minutes with no one coming. Eventually, the hairstylist became concerned about how long the color had been sitting and immediately washed it out. After the appointment, there was significant scalp itching and irritation. The eyebrow service was also disappointing. I specifically asked for a soft, natural lamination because the eyebrows looked very dark, boxy, and bulky. I was reassured they would soften once dry, but the final result still looked bulky and didn't even look properly laminated. The billing was another issue. The $99 eyebrow package included lamination, tint, and shaping, but an additional $29 waxing charge was initially added. I questioned it and showed them the service description, yet I was still told it was separate. Another salon employee later confirmed that the additional charge should not have been added, and it was finally corrected. I also tried to bring a simple online-booking issue to the manager's attention. Instead of listening to the concern, I felt immediately dismissed and was told it wasn't an issue because nobody else had complained about it. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. For an appointment costing around $300, I expected much better communication, organization, accurate billing, and customer service. The hairstylist was genuinely nice, but unfortunately, the overall experience was stressful and disappointing.

I noticed some products were more expensive than the Walmart across the street, but I'd rather help out a local business that serves the community.

I booked an urgent appointment at B's Braiding in Woodbridge, hoping for the quality service I…read moreusually receive. Unfortunately, my regular braider was unavailable, and I was placed with a different stylist. When I showed her a reference photo of the cornrow style I wanted, she immediately claimed the photo was "AI," but never once stated she lacked the skill to execute the look. Instead, she took the appointment anyway. From the start, her technique was heavy-handed and painfully tight. When I asked her to loosen the braids, she dismissed my discomfort, claiming they "needed to be tight to look nice." When I told her it genuinely hurt, she simply brushed it off with an "okay, okay" and kept going. Even after asking her to leave my edges out, she pulled my hair so aggressively that my scalp was left throbbing. The final result is nothing short of a disaster: Asymmetry & Messy Parting: One side is braided over and the other under. The parts are completely unclean, and the lines look sloppy and rushed. Amateur Workmanship: The back features four messy rows and three weave braids in the front that look as though a teenager was practicing on my head rather than a professional stylist. Complete Disregard for the Reference: It looks nothing like the clean, precise style I requested--it simply looks like she was tired and rushed through the job. To add insult to injury, I walked out of there out $160 plus an $18 tip that she readily took without a second thought, despite delivering completely unacceptable work. When I followed up with my original braider to share what happened, she initially offered to help, but when I asked to have my hair properly re-braided, she suddenly became unresponsive and told me to call the manager. I sent clear photos of my hair, scalp, and concerns directly to them, only to be met with endless runaround. To make matters worse, I was told that if someone else fixes my hair, I would be charged again for their mistake. I am a strong advocate for supporting Black-owned businesses, but when an establishment takes your money, ruins your hair, and refuses to stand by their work or offer a correction, they need to be called out. Do not patronize this shop if you expect professional craftsmanship or basic accountability. Save your money and go elsewhere.
