My issue was a month ago a lady gave me a horrible sew in and caused an irritation on my scalp which in turn led to a scalp burn. Nonetheless I was determined to look good with my missing patch. I checked the cut life vehemently looking for stylists in the NY area because the salons that you see the most are in ATL. I was desperate but I wasn't that desperate to book a flight to get my hair done. All I know is that the lord also wanted me to look and feel good because he directed me to @hairhype_ insta page. I booked an appointment and the rest is history. The atmosphere of the salon is extremely welcoming, they play a plethora of music genres so that no one is left out. The only thing is that you must book an appointment. I do not believe they accept walk-ins as they are super booked up.

I was anxious because 3 months before my hair was damaged by a bad coloring job @ another salon. I lost a great deal of length because of the breakage & shedding of hair that resulted. At Beauty Mark I received the new client package with the addition of color correction & an improved dye job with Joico products. The outcome of the color job was absolutely beautiful!! Kimberly is really masterful at coloring. She cut my damaged & severely uneven hair & made it look decent again. The results of the silk press was very soft hair that was full of body & shine. Kimberly herself is very personable & immediately makes you feel welcomed. She is knowledgeable regarding natural hair care as well as other hair care routines. She is passionate about hair care & desires to give her clients the best outcomes possible. I really enjoyed my experience from beginning to end & I will not hesitate to return to Beauty Mark Salon. Had my second visit to Kimberly @ beauty Mark salon & again she did not disappoint. I had a touch up of my multi hair color , wash, blow dry & silk press, cut & style. I have enclosed pictures so you can see what a beautiful job she did. The color is absolutely gorgeous & my hair is now totally healthy, & full of body, shine & bounce. i went to humid Myrtle beach & my hair is still in great shape & did not revert in the humidity & while on the beach.

What I loved the most was her comment: "if you don't get out my char, I'll keep playing with your hair all day." Her passion for hair and my results-big reason why I will be back soon.

I wouldn't recommend this business for a traditional weave. I give this establishment a zero when…read moreit comes to customer service. Please watch video below. This is the most I've ever paid for a weave not worth the $375. I have so much to say about this establishment but do not have the time to write such a lengthy post. My ONLY advice is stay clear from this business. Revision: guess who has time today? I initially picked this business because I loved the curls she posted on IG. I have a weaver but she does not style. So I thought let's try something new (HUGE Mistake). I arrived at the salon, everyone was sweet. Then finally got in the chair. Had I followed my instinct I could have avoided this situation. I'm an ageist. I do not like older people doing my hair anyway her mom washed my hair, blow, then braid down. First mistake I disparately need a hair cut my ends were DEAD. She braid dead hair instead of promoting healthy hair growth. As she started the braid down I say the misty but instead of saying something I trusted the process (another mistake). I am the queen of traditional weave. The braid down is the most important. When she started the install I noticed that she didn't cut the weft, no biggie in the back but should be done in the front so that in install can lay flat. I fell asleep for most of the install & by the time she completed & they came with their camera. I knew that I would be displeased. Yet I said nothing. Mistakes that I should have addressed: she didn't leave enough hair out to cover the tracks. The double of the hair in front kept me from putting my hair behind my ears. No one knows how good or bad an install is until they are home or when you walk up in the morning. The videos below are from the morning less than 12 hrs from the install. It was a holiday weekend & the salon would be closed until the following Tuesday. I had to go to a Dominican salon in Harlem to have the install removed, get a hair cut & worn a bob until I could to my orginal weaver. When I called the salon midweek. I sent them video I had made. Nami eventually called me back & took no accountability. Because I took the hair out. She claimed she could have fixed the top. But BS the braid down was the issue. Also I am a social woman to walk around with a weave than looks like a bad wig... is not an option. Her resolution: to GIVE ME 20% off my NEXT install. As IF! So I called Amex because I paid have cash have credit. She's lucky I don't take her to small claims court, cause I'm petty like that. Stay clear of the business if you're black trying to get a weave. She's too expensive & not work the headache. Instead I recommend nynystyle you can find her on IG. She is one of the best weavers in Brooklyn. Cheating on nynystyle cause all this drama. Never again.

Abysmal customer service and terrible business practices. No business should be able to charge $125…read moreto hold an appointment for a service that may or may not cost the same or less.

Yelp removed my review because I had a link to the photos on my blog. However, I am adding it back…read morewithout the link. Photos were on Yelp (11/19/2013 Yelp removed the photos of my hair before, during and after the service, presumably at the owners request). I've never seen a Yelp review where the option to add photos was removed so this was clearly done on purpose. The service was originally in July 2012. Photos are on my blog (yelp allows links in profiles). Just search Red Room. I so wanted to like OMHH Red Room Luxe Salon for my straight styles but unfortunately this natural salon just did not prove to be a positive experience. I had been checking out this natural hair salon (advertised as a "blow dry bar") for a while and met the owner, Debra, a few times, including at the African Street Festival at Commodore Barry Park, where I was given a sample of the herbal hair & body wash. She had natural hair (extensions) so again I thought I hit the jackpot. I mistakenly believe that women with natural hair know how to deal with my hair. I have been proven wrong time and time again. I had been wearing twist outs for a few weeks, trying out different products, and the twist out I wore to the salon was done with my own whipped shea butter and aloe mix. My hair was combed out a bit with a wide toothed comb (looked like a shower comb) and rinsed with warm water then washed, twice, with the same hair & body wash that I stated was drying to my hair the prior week. I suspect that the shea butter coating on my hair stopped it from acting as a clarifying shampoo. An OMHH herbal conditioner was used as well as an OMHH light oil and I was placed under a hood dryer for about 15 minutes. I had expected that Hair Rules product would be used in my hair since Debra mentioned several times when we spoke that she uses and likes the Hair Rules line, which is also sold at her shop. Instead she used her own brand, OMHH. I was NOT given the option to choose my own products from her collection and I was not given the option to use Hair Rules products. The conditioner was rinsed out and I was then placed back under the hood dryer to recline for a bit with loose hair. When I asked Debra about this technique, since I was getting a blow out, she said that she likes to remove some of the moisture from the hair before blow drying. I immediately became worried since I know it's more difficult to blow dry my hair once it's already dry i.e. Dominican blow outs on dried, roller set hair use a ton of heat to get my curly roots straight. My hair dries really fast. Although my hair was loose (not roller set) I went along with it to see how this dry before blow drying technique would work. During the blow dry no heat protectant was used; however, my hair was blown out on a cool setting for the majority of the blow out. There was no brush or comb attachment used - just a shower comb. I asked Debra about this and she said she does not like to use a comb attachment since it pulls too much on the hair - breakage presumably? I rarely lose hair when I do my blow out at home so I was unsure of this reasoning. Most salons blow out my natural hair with a brush or comb attachment to make it more smooth, which means less passes of the flat iron. The blow out was not comfortable at first. Debra did listen to me and was more gentle; however, I still was not pleased with the technique of trying to blow out dry natural hair. After the blow out my hair felt very dry, which is not normal for me after a blow out. I mentioned that my hair was looking rough and it felt dry and was told that next time I should get a steam treatment. There was a steamer in the corner near the wash basins. Debra stretched a section of my hair down to show me how much she thought should be trimmed, which was at least 1 inch. I said no, I was not willing to trim that much. We then got into a discussion about the knots in my hair, sections of hair that were not really knots at all but hair that had not been combed out well. She wanted to cut my hair up to the "knots". I explained that I have single strands knots since my small curls, some 1/8 of an inch, wrap around themselves and form tiny knots on individual strands. I told Debra that I rarely wear my hair straight so the single strand knots do not bother me. I then began to pull apart the "knotted" sections of hair to show Debra that it was just tangled hair that was not combed out. I did not feel that my hair required a 1 inch cut. I had not used heat in six months and for 3 of those months I was in twist extensions. My blow out looked like a fluffy afro from the 70s, not like a sleek salon blow out that was prepared for flat ironing. I even said that out loud that I had a 70s afro. When the flat ironing started, I was again worried. No heat protectant was used. I ended up leaving the salon without letting her finish. I washed, blew out and flat ironed my hair when I got home since I wanted to make sure it was not dama
