Alright, so I got booked with a younger stylist who wasn't trained on men's service. I could tell…read moreshe was lost and I really should have hit eject before she started, but she made a mess of my hair. I didn't feel like seeing a 20 year old girl cry that evening though so I just paid and left with making a fuss. I'm still going to keep their star average up though because of how they handled it when i reached out after. I know the problem was the their booking system was configured wrong and matched me with someone who couldn't do it. They were nice, gave me a refund and it and promised to fix the software configuration. I wasn't going anywhere for the next couple weeks anyway. I'm sure the kid knows to just say "sorry, I can't do men's hair" next time. I don't have API access but trust her JSON object no longer returns 'mens' and they're not using XML for anything either. I'm not posting a photo of myself with a bad haircut but here's my dog Maya.

She was so receptive to what I was looking for and honest about the process. I wanted to go lighter and do a balayage. I have received so many compliments. I am really grateful of finding Katelyn!

I was so stoked when Skyler came back since she's the stylist I like to go to the most. RPS isn't cheap but I treat myself to it and every cut I get is well worth it. I always get compliments from people after I go. I also like reading the vintage comics in their waiting area. Just a nice place all around !!

A returning but disappointing experience…read more My appointment was canceled 15 minutes before it was scheduled to start because my stylist was sick. I was already on my way when I received the notice. I understand that illness happens, but a 15-minute heads-up is not acceptable. They offered to reschedule, which I appreciate, but made no attempt to compensate for the wasted trip and time. Better communication and some goodwill -- even a small discount on a future visit -- would have gone a long way.

However-- KELLIE IS NO LONGER AT THE GARDEN. SHE'S AT POSH DURHAM. I called to get an appt and was told she wasn't there any longer. Luckily, I found her. Thank god. I love The Garden's salon - it's girly and cute and their product selection is great. But the location made it impossible to get an appt. with the best stylist there. (Kellie is so amazing, she was booked 2-3 months out). So ladies, yes, the reviews of Kellie are legit...but don't look for her at The Garden. I give The Garden five stars with Kellie. Without Kellie, it's a moot point.

Now she is the only one I trust to give me a haircut. All my curly haired friends go to her and I haven't heard a complaint from any of them either. Five stars for Kellie! I am happy for Shea that the new location (closer to Duke) has been such a success but I have to take away one star now that is so hard to get an appointment. I want my hair cut without having to wait two weeks! They do give Duke discounts too if you are looking for a discount.

I have always been a huge fan of the pixie cut and I wore one for over 10+ yrs. One of the main…read morereasons I chose to wear a pixie cut (other than the fact that a cute pixie will make you look and feel sexy) was because I have had SEVERAL bad experiences and I didn't trust anyone with my hair. And I was embarrassed of certain areas of my hair. And every time I would try and give a hairstylist a chance, they would say mean things to me or make me feel even more insecure than I was already feeling. And I gave up on going to the salons. I had lost all trust and faith in hairstylist. But during the pandemic I decided to grow my hair out. Not only was I tired of having to maintain the pixie cut, I just wanted something different. During my transition of growing my hair out I decided to wear braids and this was when I met Brittany. I had began to get my hair braided by Ms. Kandy and while I'm the chair Brittany came in and introduced herself and gave me her card and said to come see her when I was ready to wear my hair. Her sister (who is the owner of Amaka's International Hair Salon) was very nice as well. She too came in a talked me and made me feel comfortable and I felt at home. Anyways, once my hair had reached a length I was okay with wearing out, I did just that. I stepped out on faith and made an appointment with Brittany. She and her sister were so welcoming, I had to go back. I have several areas of my hair that needed some love, and Brittany did just that. She nursed my hair back to life. My first appointment she asked a lot of questions and made me feel extremely comfortable. By the time I made my appointment, my hair had grown out and I was now relaxer free and Not once did Brittany make me feel like it was impossible for me to stay natural. But instead She's always giving me good hair tips on how to maintain my natural hair in between appointments. Brittany is always polite, she's ALWAYS on time, and I'm always her priority while I'm in her chair. I absolutely love my hair and Brittany have renewed my faith in hairstylist. If you're looking for a great hairstylist that cares about you, your hair, and in making you feel special, Go see my girl Brittany! I promise, she's the truth!
