    I love this place! Growing up in black hair salons in New York, I'm used to making an appointment and still waiting about an hour once I arrive to be serviced. Coming to Da Notty Roots, I was pleasantly surprised that I was taken immediately once I arrived. Melissa was super friendly and knowledgeable about my locals. She got my interlocking done within 2 hours. If you know anything, you know that's impressive. She doesn't take breaks for phone calls or to eat her lunch or to do other people's hair lol. She gets me in and out. The place is clean and comfortable. I appreciate it and I highly recommend it!

    Sigh...I wanted to write a great review b/c the stylists are sooo friendly, but when I got home, I discovered issues that should've been resolved immediately. First, I called the number associated with the Diamond Springs address and made my appointment. When I arrived to the VB location, I was informed that I was at the wrong place. Apparently all calls go to one number for the different locations and no one felt the need to inform me that my appointment was in Chesapeake. I hope that they confirm the location with future clients. 2nd, I received a call about an hour before my appointment from the stylist asking me to come in an hour later. It was great that I received the call rather than letting me arrive and having to wait for an hour, but I had evening plans. I had to push back a dinner reservation. 3rd - 100th...when I left the salon, I felt like Erykah Badu. I had a BIG beautiful curly afro via crochet braids. I loved it. I did feel it might be too big and the stylist said I could come back the next day if I wanted and get it trimmed down. When I had the chance to start styling the hair and the volume had come down, I noticed a problem. There were noticeably visible spaces in the hair that showed the cornrows...LARGE gaps that could be seen if you were looking at the top of my head or if the wind blew the back of my hair just a tiny bit (I'm going to try to upload a pic). Since the hair was fluffed up at the salon, the spaces were covered, but they would be clearly visible to the stylist that was working on my head. The issue was not that I did not have enough hair. I had leftover hair. I believe the issue may have been that the stylist was ready to leave for the day. I called first thing the next morning to request to fill in the spaces as well as to shape up the hair (the hair was looking a bit like Cousin It). The stylist advised me that her schedule was full but she could call me near the end of the day to possibly come in after hours or she would come in at 3pm the next day to fix it. Unfortunately none of these choices were acceptable to me. I live in DC (which she was aware of), was in town for my father's birthday, and we had evening plans. I couldn't come the next day b/c I had to go back home. I was quite disappointed that this mistake could not be fixed immediately. This was no mistake caused by the client. Just as I was called to come in an hour later by the stylist, I felt that another client should have received the same call so my hair could be fixed. Needless to say, I spent the next day in DC watching YouTube videos to learn how to add hair to the spaces (it was very easy...which made me madder b/c the stylist, Chi, could have fixed this issue quickly). Again, I LOVED the stylists. So funny, so sweet, so friendly. The music was great. They offered wine for Wine Down Fridays. I had a fantastic time...but all that meant nothing when I had to fill in the spaces myself even though I paid plenty for this style AND I had to ask someone to professionally shape the hair. Shame...

    DO " KNOT" go to this place!! Look at this alleged Loc "retwist"

    Do not go here. Brother went there for a loc appointment and his roots were barely retwisted and the locs were frizzier than when he went in. Very disappointed and we had hoped to find him a new spot since he just moved to the area.

    Thanks Melissa for a wonderful job on my locs. They really took your hands. I love the atmosphere of the shop. I will return for another touch up next month.

    Being a Cali native myself, the name intrigued me. I later found out the owner is from Cali also…read moreand often travels to and from there to here. They prefer appointments, but will take walk-ins (be mindful that priority will always go to appointment clients) I wanted to do a walk in, but ended up setting a same day appointment, only 2 hours after I made the call, so it a doable wait time. I ate lunch and had a nap before coming in, so it was already leading up to a nice chill day. My stylist was an older lady, and she was very pleasant, quick nimble with the scissors and mostly styled my hair with just her hands (I have natural waves) and used very little product. And my hair turned out better than I expected. I basically got a wolf cut with soft layers. As we talked, I found out she's had a collective of over 30 years experience cutting hair both abroad and here In the states. I can really appreciate the service she gave along with her pleasant demeanor during the whole experience I had. My husband ended up going there to get his hair cut a few days later...and I was happy with what they did to his hair as well. Very clean and styled in a way that suits his face and head shape. Not just a cookie cutter hairstyle that looks the same on everyone. This one really flattered his specific look and personality. The only downside is parking on a busy day, the lot is small and right up near a busy street. So I understand why they encourage appointments, to keep the parking lot from being crowded. So it seems like they already put some consideration into setting up a good experience for their clientele. I look forward to visiting them again in the future for a color job I want to try. All I wanted this time around was a wash, cut and style and it was decently priced and professionally done in a relatively short amount of time. Always tip your stylist, especially if you can't stop smiling at what a great job they did. thanks for the amazing service!

    I didn't leave an immediate review after my haircut because I wanted to take time and reflect…read morerather than write out of emotion. My hair has since grown back, and with clarity, I feel comfortable sharing my experience. I booked a haircut online for a listed price of $70. During booking, I shared a reference photo and explained in detail that my hair is very long and thick, and that I needed a stylist who would be patient and not rush the service. When I arrived, I re-showed the reference photo and reiterated what I wanted. Once I was in the chair, the stylist explained that she only has one hour per client. Despite this, the appointment felt rushed and disorganized. I know this because my service ran into her next client's scheduled time. That client waited for a period of time and ultimately canceled with her and worked with another stylist in the salon. While the stylist stated she only had one hour per client, my appointment ran well beyond that. My scheduled appointment time was 12:30 PM. I received a text at 11:43 AM asking if I wanted to come in early, and my receipt was sent to me at 2:13 PM. Even accounting for arriving early, this places my appointment at over two hours from start to finish--far longer than the one-hour window that was repeatedly referenced. I specifically asked for layered hair with shorter layers to help with the weight. Instead, I was given long layers, and my hair was thinned out without my consent ( as you can see the bottom portion of my hair is noticeably thin, compared to the top) . I didn't say anything at the time because the thinning had already been done and couldn't realistically be fixed. While my hair is healthy and grows back, the haircut I received was not the haircut I asked for. It wasn't "messed up," but it also wasn't what I requested. At checkout, the stylist leaned over and whispered to the receptionist, after which an additional $25 charge for thick/long hair was added. This charge was not discussed with me directly, despite my hair length and thickness being clearly disclosed before booking. After leaving a Google review outlining these concerns, the owner publicly accused me of never being a client and stated she stood by her stylist, without acknowledging the issues raised. Later that same night, I was contacted directly via text around 10:30 PM asking to "chat." That message was unsolicited and crossed a professional boundary, especially after publicly dismissing my experience. The outreach did not include an apology and felt more focused on protecting the business's image than addressing client concerns. I was polite throughout this entire process and even tipped my stylist. There was no malice on my end--just honest feedback. While my hair did grow back, not everyone is in that position, and an experience like this could be very upsetting for someone struggling with self-image. Ultimately, the lack of communication, consent, and professionalism--both during the service and afterward--is why I would not return and why I'm sharing this experience here for other women

Plus, they offer gift cards right on their website, which is perfect for when you want to give the gift of gorgeous hair without the guessing game I always send my friends the link to exactly what I want ! When I walked in, I almost thought I had the wrong place because they rearranged everything to fit in two more booths! Love seeing how much they're growing! Today, I had the pleasure of getting my hair done by the lovely Idelette Herbst, and let me tell you, she is a dream. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. Also, can we talk about the head massage she gave me during the shampoo? ‍‍She totally nailed my haircut, and I'm already counting down the days until my next appointment with her. Oh, and let me just say--the playlist was everything! At one point, I thought they were playing my personal playlist because every single song was one I listen to.

It's on me for waiting the day before graduation to get a haircut but had I known it would be this bad I'd have done it myself. Booked online (the portal said an appointment was $17; I ended up paying $50). Showed up wanting nothing fancy, just a line up and a beard trim; I saw other reviews mentioning that certain of the staff were good with textured hair and so I went in optimistic. The woman who ultimately ended up cutting my hair did a horrible job. If Im the first black male whose hair she ever cut I would not be shocked. Lineup uneven. Patchy areas left along back of neck. A slight cut on my chin from the beard went uncleaned (I applied alcohol at home); I left covered in my own hair. Shortly thereafter ran into roommates on the street and they were shocked. The whole cut was about 15 minutes long, and as I said I ended up paying $50+tip (God knows why I left one; I will say she took the beard off so that's appreciated). My mention that I was a graduating student did not even warrant a congratulations. And now my hair looks worse than when I showed up. Thank God the gown comes with a cap.
