Anta is great! I decided last minute that I needed a protective style and called to ask if I could…read moreget Ghana braids. Anta was able to squeeze me in that evening. When her previous client was taking longer than anticipated, she texted me to let me know, and I appreciated knowing ahead of time instead of just waiting in the shop. The shop is clean, the other stylists are friendly, and my braids were done quickly and done well. I will be back when I have the patience to sit for box braids again!

I arrived at the salon at 8:00 AM for smedium boho knotless braids. Before my appointment, I…read morespecifically requested smedium, but the braider started my hair with medium-sized braids instead. Once we got to the front of my head, I noticed the parts were uneven and much larger than I wanted. When I told the braider I wasn't happy with the size, she immediately grabbed a pair of scissors and cut one of the braids out, cutting approximately three inches off my real hair. At that point, I was even more upset because I had come in for a protective style and ended up losing inches of my own hair. The salon offered me only a $20 discount after cutting my hair, which I did not feel was an appropriate resolution. Another issue was that there were no mirrors available for clients to see the back of their hair during the appointment. Instead, they offered to take a picture and insisted the braids in the photo were the same size as the ones on my head. To have someone try to gaslight me into believing that my reference photo, which is attached, and the parts on my head were the same size is beyond ridiculous. They were clearly not. To make matters worse, the young lady in the pink Lululemon outfit was very rude. She told me, "I don't have time for this," and said the braider had another client waiting, as if my appointment, which started at 8:00 AM, didn't matter. I had been there since 8:00 AM, and instead of taking my concerns seriously, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them for speaking up about my hair. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Between not receiving the size I requested, the uneven parts, having inches of my hair cut off, the lack of professionalism, and the way my concerns were handled, I would not recommend this salon.

It was my first time at this shop to get my hair braided and I cannot agree with the other negative…read morereviews because I was greeted professionally on top of that she made sure of the style I wanted before she began and ensure that she wasn't braiding too tight. I was priced just like the other braiding shop I went to in the past not over priced at all and my hair was was blown out to and on top of that my hair was done in 2 hours and neatly done. Don't not listen to the other reviews and miss out I'm happy I didn't because my hair look awesome and I didn't have to sit 4- 6 hours . You have to give credit where it's due and I will give Fatima her credit because her shop was clean my hair was very well done and she has earned a new customer . Thank you Tammy

She's taught me so much about my hair, color and extensions, which i was nervous to try at first. Every time i show her what color or hair style i want she does it exactly like the picture, or better!! Its always worth the drive, even just for the blowouts. She's also added a ton of services to her salon (lashes, makeup, teeth whitening, etc). It's really a one stop shop

Jay has become more like family to me and I would recommend her to everyone looking for a dependable and affordable stylist. You will not be disappointed!

Patricia is such an amazing human being and a great hair braider!! It's nice to get your hair done…read morein such a comfortable place. She parts my hair perfectly and the hair extensions feels so light like it's my own hair. I like to wash my hair every week and my braids look fresh even after I wash them. I'll definitely reach my hair length goals. When Patricia does my braids, there isn't any stress on my scalp so my hair is growing so much in the braids. My hair still feels moisturized even when I take the braids out. I will not go anywhere else, I found the perfect place to get my braids done!

My friend just got her hair braided a few days ago and she looks totally different…read more It was a bit out of ordinary since she always has a typical Asian girl straight hair cut. I think her look grows on me, perfect image for a hip hop dancer like her. I know I am not a dancer but I still want to get one like that too instead of having the similar style for over 20 years. You know that feeling of you want something after you saw what your friend had? I guess I also had some of those feeling as well. So I went to the same lady that did her hair today to get a similar braid. That lady was sweet and friendly as I expected. We enjoying talking to each other a lot, I can see she really has passion in what she's doing. That makes the whole process fun. Now I am happy with myself with my new look. My husband will see me in a few days and I am sure he will get a surprise at the airport when he sees me!

Came across a Groupon deal recently for balayage with gloss repair treatment, haircut, blow dry &…read morestyle from this business. Winded up purchasing it. Scheduled an appointment for August 6th @ 4PM but was running behind due to work since I was asked to stay an extra hour at the hospital. I immediately called Jazette a few times but no answer so I left a voicemail & texted her that I was running late & if I could come see her @ 4:30PM instead of 4PM. She said the latest is 4:15-4:20PM which would be fine but anything after, I'd have to reschedule. Got there around 4:20PM & understood I was about 20 minutes late so I asked if I should just reschedule or if she's able to still do my hair. She asked me what was it that I needed so she had me sit down & explain to her in detail what I was looking to get done. I literally was in there for an hour, explaining to her in a very detailed way of the color, cut & style I wanted. I even showed her a couple of pictures as an example so she can have a better idea of what it is that I want. I showed her what kind of color I wanted, the hairstyle I wanted & also mentioned to her that I do not want a drastic haircut; just to trim the split ends or damaged ends of my hair. She gave me her opinion on certain things & asked me to send the pictures I showed her so I did. She texts me the following day saying that her assistance is unable to do the hairstyle I want (which is a curly hairstyle & wouldn't be that hard given the fact that my natural hair is curly + wavy) but these curls were just more defined & wouldn't be hard at all to achieve since I have naturally curly & wavy hair texture. What I don't understand is that her assistant was in the hair salon when I walked in. She was the first one to greet me. When I spoke to Jazette, she could've showed the picture to her assistant & been upfront to me while I was there that she can't do it rather than letting me know an entire day later. Also, it's strange that someone who runs her own hair salon is unable to style hair but only does coloring & extensions. I never heard of that at any hair salon. Especially, not if it's the person's own hair salon. I winded up texting Jazette back & asked if her assistant is able to do any type of curly hairstyles & if not, then I'm fine with sticking to a regular blowout style. Next thing you know, Jazette sends me an email telling me that she cancelled my appointment that I had rescheduled with her. I never asked or requested a cancellation but she went ahead & cancelled my appointment for no reason. I believe the actual reason for her cancelling my appointment is because she realized how long & thick my hair was & knew she wouldn't be able to accomplish anything I wanted so winded up just cancelling my appointment without explaining herself. Why else would a hairstylist / hairdresser cancel a client's appointment when it was never asked or requested by the client? Especially, when the client was really nice & polite with them. In all honesty, I already knew just by walking in there that it was most likely run by inexperienced people who don't know what they're doing. There's only 2 people who was working there when I walked in (Jazette & her assistant) & I had a feeling they were not experienced. The place itself looks like a butcher shop. It's extremely small & tiny; doesn't stand out at all. They don't even have any rollers, twisties or other professional tools to do hair. Go figure. She just got scared & cancelled my appointment without my permission because they're both just really inexperienced people. Highly unprofessional too.
