I reached out to Kaylan, the owner of Golden Era Hair Salon, after having a bit of a hair crisis…read moreearlier this week. My previous stylist had taken me much blonder than I was expecting, perhaps due to a miscommunication, and while the work itself was beautiful, I just didn't feel like myself. I am truly a brunette at heart and really just wanted to feel like me again, with a little dimension! Kaylan was able to get me in SUPER last minute with Jackie, who I now owe everything to. From the second I sat in her chair, Jackie took the time to consult with me, really listened to exactly what I wanted, and somehow made absolute magic happen. I may have only been blonde for about 36 hours, but I genuinely didn't feel confident or like myself during that time. Jackie immediately brought that confidence back. I am BEYOND obsessed with my hair. It is everything I dreamed of, if not better, and I finally feel like myself again. Thank you doesn't even feel strong enough for Jackie, Kaylan, and the entire Golden Era team. I will be recommending them to absolutely everyone -- and bonus points that they're right in my neighborhood! I officially found my salon.

I don't normally do reviews but this was terrible! It was my second time at Golden Era with Jackie,…read moreand unfortunately, I would not recommend this salon based on my experience. The first time I came in, we did a blonde balayage. Jackie explained that my hair couldn't go extremely blonde right away without causing damage, but that we could gradually get it lighter over time. I understood that and was completely fine with going blonde little by little. About a month and a half later, I returned for a root touch-up and asked Jackie if I needed a toner because my hair had started looking yellow. I specifically wanted to maintain the blonde we had been working toward. Instead, my hair was toned significantly darker, to the point where the toner covered almost all of the balayage that had been done previously. I was left with hair that looked darker than when I started. What is especially frustrating is that I was told we would gradually work toward a blonder result, so I don't understand why such a dark toner was used in the first place. The appointment also felt rushed because Jackie had to leave. Four days later, after realizing I was still very unhappy with the result, I reached out to explain how dark my hair was and asked if there was anything that could be done to fix it. I was extremely upset by this experience, not only because my hair was left much darker than what we had discussed, but because of how the situation was handled afterward. I reached out because I genuinely wanted to see if there was a way to fix it. Rather than communicating with me or trying to find a solution, I was essentially told, "too bad, find someone else." That was incredibly disappointing and, in my opinion, very unprofessional. I paid over $540 for my first appointment and over $240 for the second, so having to now spend additional time and money at another salon to correct the color is extremely frustrating. This entire experience was a complete waste of my time and money. I would not recommend Golden Era or Jackie.

The only complaint is that it was so painful to put my hair into an upward ponytail because the braids around the edges were so tight. They also did a good job on my daughter's cornrows, but of course the braids were too tight. The atmosphere is like most African braid shops, they could all stand a deep cleaning. The braiders speak in their native tongue, while the customers endure long hours of braiding and getting an ear full. Of couse, you get your regular solicitors coming in trying to sell their merchandise. Overall, it's a layed back environment. Aicha herself is really sweet, and she listens to what the customer wants. She will also give you her advise if it's accepted. Her co-braider can be very opinionated about what she feels you should do with your hair. However, you would love the results. The neighborhood is really laid back for a shop on a busy street (North Ave). You have McDonald's one block west of the shop and a gas station. Two blocks east you have a Wendy's, and Pizza Hut. You will not find any healthy joints near this shop. Also, if you're in the mood for Jerk Chicken, 3D's is about four blocks west on North Ave. Give Aicha a try if you're in the area looking to get your hair braided. They braid really tiny and of course neat.

Alex Croft is a true artist and an absolute miracle worker for hair! I first found her at Mane and…read moreshe is still listed on their website, but I know you can also book her specifically through the salonlofts website. I first went to Alex because someone else at Mane did my hair and the cut and color were really choppy. I didn't feel comfortable having the same person fix it; I wasn't even sure it could be fixed. Alex patiently talked me through my expectations and was clear on what I didn't like before starting. She also talked me through why things probably went wrong the first time. Then somehow she made everything smooth and beautiful without making it look over-processed or too short, and also managed to keep the dimensionality. The next time, I was stupid enough to once again go somewhere else (closer to my home; seemingly cheaper). They cut corners to make it go faster and as a result the color was just weird, inconsistent, and unflattering. (Oh, and it actually did end up being more expensive in the end too!) I went back to Alex and again, she patiently talked to me about everything, explained what probably went wrong at the other place, and somehow, once again, she made it beautiful! As you can see, I'm probably a picky pain-in-the-ass type of client with expectations that are unreasonably high. That said, Alex always exceeds them. By the third time, I had learned my lesson. I was not going to go to anyone but Alex in the future. When I sought her out the third time, I found her solo at Salon Lofts. For me, the lofts are such a better experience than the salon. There's none of the fakeness or mandated upselling that typically accompany a salon setting, but you still have all the amenities and the "chatting to your best friend" relaxed vibe. The third time I went, I hadn't had my hair colored in over 2 years due to covid, so it was the first time I got to see what she would do with a blank(ish) slate. We had a long discussion about what I liked and wanted, making sure we saw things the same way and were clear on wants and expectations. I left the tone up to her to decide what would flatter my skin tone. I have so much fun hanging out with her whenever she does my hair, and she is also such a thoughtful colorist. She used less strong developer on the places it was going to be sitting longer, middle for the middle, and stronger for the end bit so everything developed at the same rate. That's genius. She used a combination of balyage and foils to be able to accomplish the look I wanted with my hair type. Knowing I can tend to go way too long before getting my hair redone, she purposely blended out the roots and gave me a root melt that would allow the hair to grow out more smoothly. The end result was just so gorgeous! The tone was perfect for my skin, somehow making my eyes look brighter and bluer and my skin look healthier and more glowing. I don't even know how she does it! Seriously, even if I move out of state I think I will come back to get my hair done by her. I went home and my husband couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful it was. He'll usually say, "You look so beautiful!" but this time, he was gushing about the artistry. It was hilariously adorable, but seriously the work was that skillful! He was saying, "Wow it just makes your eyes and your skin pop! Such a beautiful color! I've never seen anything like it. And how did she blend it so smoothly? She is really an artist!" I could hardly get out the door because he wouldn't stop admiring it. Then, the very next week, I got a job offer and negotiated the salary 15% higher than the offer! I'm 99% sure my hair looking so good helped me get the job, and now I can afford to get it updated more often! Yayyyy. Every time I've gone to her, I go for some kind of blonde, it's always a slightly different kind of blonde, but it turns out amazing and flattering every time. Go to Alex if you want a guarantee that they will spend the time and care to make your hair the best that it can be. You'll absolutely love your hair.
