    hadn't cut my hair in a year due to COVID and knew it was about time. seriously had no idea where to start looking. so just began by searching curly cuts on instagram. good thing too since it led to Shawntá's page @byshawntajohns. swear i went through every pic she had of curly cuts & i was impressed. i could tell she had the experience and knowledge i was looking for in a curly hair stylist. so off I went to her website to learn more. the booking site was great. it detailed all her services and provided instructions on how I should arrive with my hair prepped for the cut. she even includes extremely detailed instructions on how to get to the salon. such a great help. there's so much anxiety with deciding to book with a new stylist but after my research i went through with it (so happy i did). the process was fairly straightforward. i loved that it allowed me to write notes on what i was looking for and it even asked questions about my hair routine. felt like a great way to start the client/stylist relationship. I paid a deposit for the services and was sent a receipt via email along with the appointment. i also received an email/waiver regarding covid procedures. glad to see she was taking safety precautions. fast forward three weeks. appointment time :). i arrived about 15 mins early. shawntá was welcoming from the start. i was definitely overly talkative - due to my nervousness. & she was just great. she answered all my questions & had me clarify exactly what i was looking for. after a quick review of my hair goals, off she went. i had never had a dry cut before but from what i experienced, it's the way to go. she snipped off all the dead ends i had and focused the cut to the areas where I wanted more volume/layers. she explained every part of the process, from the cuts to the what products she was using. she took her time and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. we chatted the whole time and once again felt like it was another great way to build that relationship. once the hair was washed and styled, she began diffusing it & setting the curls. i was almost speechless by the time I saw the final look. I literally didn't even recognize my curls. so incredibly happy with the end result. if you're considered a cut with Shawntá, look no further, please just do it. trust.

    Shawntá is a hair goddess! I have been searching and searching for someone who knows how to cut curly hair. She definitely knows what she is doing. As you can see from my pictures my curls are poppin! I am grateful to have met her. Customer service is also on point. She takes her time with your hair and I appreciate how she wanted my curls to look perfect! If you have curly hair, definitely come visit Shawntá!

    OMG! Shawntá blew my mind! I have been looking for a stylist all my life who can actually cut curly hair and I have always been let down. But not this time! I finally found Shawntá She is truly a pro! She knows curls very well. She took the time to talk to me about my hair and the characteristics of my hair, how I usually like to wear and what I was looking for. She went above my expectations and did a magical job! She also has an amazing personality and very fun to talk to. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who actually knows how to cut curly hair.

    Shawnta is a true artist! I am over the moon about how my curly extensions came out! During my consultation, she answered every question I had, and I had a lot, since this was my first time getting extensions. My hair came out looking so natural and amazing!

    Shawnta is a curl cut genius. I've gone twice and both times I've left super happy. She revives your hair when it's dead and overgrown and she's able to shape it to your face in a way that's always flattering. I'll definitely be back!

    Rachel G.

    I love Shawntá! She took the time to understand my hair concerns and showed me step by step how to do my hair. She was so kind and took the time to help me understand my hair. I've never felt so pretty, I left so happy!

    Shawntá is warm, inviting, and knows what she's doing! Trust the process. I love my curls, but can't tame them. She did an amazing job shaping my curls to fit my face and they are so defined! Her salon is cute, intimate, and in a great location. It was great getting to know her throughout the appointment. She explained her process, the products, and what I need to do to continue to keep this look. Thank you again for providing such a great service!

    Before

    I trust Shawntá, and Shawntá ONLY with my curls. She always knows exactly what to try next with my hair and I always absolutely fall in love with the results every time. She also teaches you what products work best for your hair, and how to wash and style your hair. I always learn something new about my hair. She is the best! On top of that, her treatments are always so relaxing and I never have to worry about a thing when I'm sitting in her chair!

    I can't say enough about how happy I am to have found Shawnta! First, she is talented beyond belief, but equally important, I really like her! Anyone with hair like mine knows you will be spending a LOT of time with your stylist. Finding someone that you want to hang out with who can also do a brilliant job is a gift. You can't go wrong with Shawnta!

    After bleaching my hair, getting sewins and box braids my curls were in some serious need of love. I found Shawntá via yelp as I'm not from California and scheduling an appointment with her was the best decision ever!! My hair was so soft and bouncy by the time I left. If you've got curly hair then Shawntá is the one for you. I absolutely love my hair

    Tiffany L.

    Shawnta washed away all the oils that clogged my hair cuticle and wouldn't allow moisture from my products in with Devacurl. HUGE, huge shout out to Shawnta for giving me this new look! It's been fun to change things up Meeting Shawnta was a beautiful reminder to be mindful of the ingredients in your products... And I also got a bomb ass devacut out it! She walked me through ALL the products and steps on how I can maintain my our regime!

    Shawntá is amazing! Each time I see her, she revives my curls and gives me at least one little styling tidbit that totally levels up my good hair days. Besides being a very talented professional, Shawntá is a genuinely kind and warm person who makes you feel at home the moment you walk into her salon. It is rare to find someone as skilled and compassionate as Shawntá, and I am lucky I did! Client for the long haul! :)

    This is what curls being brought back to life looks like. Thanks Shawnta!

    After getting the Deva Cut from her my curls look so much bouncier, and no longer weighed down/dead.

I've had a few different hairstylists (I wish I could remember their names! I know one was Casandra) and every one of them has been great, but i've gone to Stasi the last few times and girl has AHmazing skills. She does the cut exactly how I want, i've never been disappointed, I always get compliments on the bangs she cuts for me. I cut my very long, boring one-length hair a few weeks ago and I love it so much, I was a little scared to cut it but I trust her judgement and she did not disappoint! I showed her some pictures I found online as reference, and they weren't even the clearest pictures, and she worked her magic and I couldn't love this cut more, I get compliments often and people asking me where I got it and I always refer them to Stasi. Anyone at this salon is great, the vibes are great, the stylists are easy and fun to chat with, seems like a good place all around.

BFFR Period…read morepoint blank I have made time out of my days to commit to our appointments and the first time I did have to change the appointment I stated IF SHE CANT ITS FINE WE CAN STICK TO ORIGINAL, no biggie I can make the original, and then she cancels like bruh we could have stuck to the original & then I couldn't say yes to appointments offered the following day or week because: 1. I had a flight the next day like at 6am 2. when I return I go back to school Mon- Thurs literally 10am -3:30pm and then 6:30pm-9 3. I work 14 hour shifts Fri- Sunday . Not once did she offer if I'd like another stylist , not once did she offer a real accommodation . Let's be real and hold accountability , because this second cancel the day of appointments, messaging me hours before on IG asking to move my appointment earlier to then canceling is WILD . Original : I know the stylists have their own way of booking or dealing with affairs apart of the salon but I think it's wild they have a rebooking fee of over $30 if client has to reschedule last minute their appointments BUT when I get my appointment canceled TWICE by the stylist ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT , due to "family emergencies" that apparently always happen. I think it's wild that a stylist can waste a clients time and day considering the first time it was canceled I had planned to get my hair cut before my birthday trip and today it got canceled I had just told my boss no to coming in for a shift because of my scheduled appointment ... what do we clients get in return besides wasted time and lost money ? At least she returned my $20 deposit that has been kept since August but damn , homegirl really needs to take care of home before taking appointments , we have a life out here too.

She talked to me but I was having a rough day and didn't feel like being a big talker and I didn't feel pushed into that. I didn't feel pressured into making conversation. Heather was able to read me well. The hair washing experience is pretty new to me ( i haven't had a cut in 2ish years) and it was so soothing. As she cut my hair she was explaining the steps being taken. Everyone else there also seemed super nice. They were laughing with each other and with their clients. I genuinely felt comfortable. My hair came out exactly how I asked. She just read me like a book. I got so many compliments from the other stylists and from my friends at work. I felt super confident with my cut. Thanks Heather !!
