    Before my Devacut with Ana and Jessica
    Aimee B.

    I usually don't like writing reviews when it comes to salon services. I never know if I can trust them or if they are real. That being said, I felt compelled to write a review after I recently had my hair done by Ana and Jessica at Curl Sanctuary. I heard about them after seeing a friend post about something called a "model call" on Facebook asking for curly ladies who may want a free cut. Anyone who knows me knows my favorite price for things is...free, so I jumped at the chance. A little back story, I've been C.G. for about 8 months now and had a horrible first Deva Cut that left me terrified to go back. I was told, due to an undercut I was growing out, my next cut "had to be a big chop" and she was going to cut it pixie length so "I should start preparing myself now". I look like the pyramids of Giza when my hair is that short and I have been trying desperately to convince myself I'll somehow grow to like it. Back to the present, I forgot to mention to the ladies I had this undercut but both were understanding and equally hopeful that maybe I wouldn't have to go that short. Ana did a wonderful job asking questions about what I wanted and hoped to achieve while Jessica prompted things we may not have thought of or mentioned. They made sure I was 100% comfortable before they even touched a shear or curl. The cut took a long time but it was a model call and Jessica was making sure Ana was following Deva protocol while encouraging her with tips and tricks. Ana was already certified but Jessica explained that they undergo extensive training with her as well to make sure all her customers get the very best service. Even though it took a little longer it put me at ease knowing exactly what was happening and why the entire time. I felt like maybe I could get certified by the end! Ana and Jessica were not only able to help me through my "big chop" without it having to be shorter than I wanted but they also made it look crazy cute and didn't stop until I was beaming with excitement. They taught me about every product, showed me how to use them, taught me cross-clipping, and even gave me a few goodies to practice with at home. I can't stress enough how comforting and pleasant an experience this was. Not only do I fully trust Jessica (the owner) but after watching her teach, I can say with 100% certainty, I'd trust anyone she trusts to employ at the Curl Sanctuary. If you're a skeptic like me, I posted a before and after as well, because again...I LOVE THIS CUT (and I'd love it even if it wasn't free, which isn't easy for a cheapo like me lol)! Thanks Ana and Jessica!

    After Jessica

    Readers digest version: Curl Sanctuary is the perfect name for this place, because it truly is a refuge in which to reach curlcendece. Full story: I have shoulder length, fine, curly hair, that had suffered through the brunt of postpartum hair loss and a lot of regrowth fuzz along the hairline too. So it was stringy and dry at the ends, and frizzy at the top, and just generally unruly. Not chemically damaged but still kinda dry. After a bad experience elsewhere, I booked an appointment here. They were booked solid for a month, but I actually took that as a good sign (bad stylists don't have full books...) and took the first available. I left a note saying I was a bit anxious after issues elsewhere, but my hair was a mess and I desperately needed help. A few days after I booked Jessica called me to talk a little about what my concerns were and just really was just so sweet and put me at ease. Then, she asked me if I wanted to take an a appointment she had open up the next day. Score! Jessica cut my hair dry, which while new to me, makes total sense for curly hair. Now it makes sense why I've had so many uneven haircuts in my life. I love it, even before product, it looked amazing; healthy bouncy messy chic instead of the frazzled hag witch I walked in as. Then I was handed over to Anna for a cleanse and an education. So, usually when you get washed you lay back, enjoy the scalp massage and nice smelling products and then that's it. Not here! While yes, Anna gives a wonderful scalp massage with the cleanse and I thoroughly enjoyed it, that's not the best part. The best part is how she explains everything really well, so you can get the same results at home. I also enjoyed the squishy noises my properly wet hair made and fun names for techniques like noodling. It was fun. Not in a childish way, but in a way that amuses the inner child. After I got cleansed, conditioned, and gelled, i went under the dryer hood for a bit. This simulates air drying, just doesn't take five hours. After that Anna decrunchifed me and I went back to Jessica to trim up any curls that didn't shrink up evenly and double check everything and whoa. I have bouncy, defined, shiny, healthy looking curls. I could t be happier! I didn't even lose as much length as I expected to and that's a real big deal for someone who's been growing out their curls for three years. Their new client curl cut includes some products (awesome!), but I was so thrilled with the results I went straight for the liter sized bottles, and also booked my return appointment.

    I love my curl but it's time to shorten it with a little "Jessica Magic."

    Where was Jessica for the first 25 years of me coping with curly hair? I hated my hair. I could never count on what it was going to do from one day to the next. It never looked good. Hairstylists "thought" they knew what do with curly hair but they didn't have a clue. Then one day a fried of mine (with curly hair) told me I needed to try out her stylist. THAT WAS 8 YEARS AGO. The first time Jessica cut my hair, I was in shock. It had never looked like that. I had soft curls, cascading along the sides of my face. I proclaimed her to be a miracle worker. She said she could never do it without the hair product she uses - which does make a HUGE difference. Moral of the story, if you have fought your curly hair all of your life, if you've straightened it or you blow dry it or whatever daily torture you put yourself through, STOP NOW. Make an appointment with Jessica. You will learn to love your hair. A week never goes by where someone doesn't come up to me and says they love the curl in my hair. Guess what? I love it too.

    If I could give negative stars, I would…read more I came into this salon with healthy hair and a simple request. Highlights. What I left with was a chemical war zone on my scalp and hair that looked like it had been through a haunted car wash. The stylist completely botched my color. It was patchy, uneven, and flat-out fried. I looked like a spaghetti squash that had been left out in the sun. Worse. I went back to give them a chance to fix it and it somehow got even worse. The stylist acted like they had never seen a toner in their life and honestly seemed like they were not in a sober state to be handling bleach or scissors or any other living creature for that matter. I ended up going to another salon just to undo the damage and they were horrified at what had been done to my hair. After spending over six hundred dollars and enduring two appointments from hell, my hair is still damaged beyond repair. Think straw with commitment issues. Do yourself a favor. If you value your hair, your time, or your dignity, run in the opposite direction. This place should come with a warning label and a fire extinguisher.

    I got the best Spring haircut and color from Kai.. really a complete makeover I had lunch with…read moreseveral of my Nurse friends and everyone complimented me and my husband really loves it and believe it or not it's really low maintenance Kai does an excellent job if you want a new Spring look book an appointment.. great Salon
