She preached about being a natural hair care professional but it was obvious she didn't even know how to comb our hair. She used a fine tooth comb and was EXTREMELY rough. We went to her home location in Queens, and when we arrived, she demanded that we take our shoes off. This would be fine if I wasn't wearing sandals. I HATE walking in strange place barefoot. Who knows what germs are lurking. She should warn ppl of this requirement ahead of time. But I would not recommend her anyway. Not to mention she's over priced.

I will not lie to you, an appointment here will put a dent in your pocketbook but heck...you work girl, so you deserve to treat and take care of yourself, right?!? :)

Sorry have to say it but these people run on CPT, I had a 11am appt and was seen at 3!!!!!!!!!!!…read moreBought a deal on living social and decided to give them a try as I live in the neighborhood. First off it was for a cut, blow dry and conditioning treatment with take home products. I have long thick hair and sorry but I have a rule never let a bald hair dresser cut my hair so I skipped the cut, the wash was AMAZING and the place itself is cozy to say the least. Overall I wasn't really wowed and didn't receive the star treatment other have described of this place. And I didnt even receive my "take home" products as was advertised. SMH

Went to Jasmines on a Friday night and business was booming. The wait was minimal about five…read moreminutes before my daughter could get her brows done to perfection. She loved the way they looked and discomfort was minimal or none at best. We got Henna tattoos for the holidays and having henna done before in Manhattan I was amazed at the price. Thirty dollars for both hands on the top was literally 1/2 the price I've paid in the past and the henna process was much shorter. They use their own blend of henna and drying agents at once, so you can forego the traditional sugar water step to dry the henna. After your design is done, all you have to do is wait about 20 minutes for them to dry before you leave the store. I'd say in about three hours or so, the Henna dries and you can remove it and return to life as normal. They have Henna in black and brown and can also do both colors at once. While I did the traditional brown, I must say the black was AMAZING!! Henna tip: When you get home, lightly rub Ben-Gay on top of the henna when it is drying. The heat sets it in darker. Also, a blow dryer will help dry and set it. When you first remove the henna the design looks a bit light. Be prepared because the following morning, the color sets and it looks much darker. In short- Jasmines is a great place for eyebrows and henna. The service was very nice as the people who own the shop. They do lashes as well. I'll try that next time.

I went in and the woman who knows how to thread is working on some one. There is a young girl who…read moreI knew didn't know how to thread well but is learning. She tells me to sit and it took forever. I told her I did t have much time I'm on my lunch break. The experienced woman came to me and finally finished. They tried to tell me I had lots of FACIAL hair and needed more work then my lip and v Chin but I would have been there all day! Lol. Seriously, they should have asked if I wanted to be a student to the woman learning. I would have politely said no, thank you. I heard they are good from where i work but I wasn't happy. Especially with them discussing me in another language the whole time.

When I told the hairdresser how much to do my hair and cut it she said one price (which is what I typically pay) then when I was done she quoted me a totally different price. Scam much?

I walked in with a welcoming greeting and I immediately felt my trust in the hair stylist there. She didn't speak well English but she still managed to understand and exceed my expectations. She totally transformed my hair from a mess to A+. I am pleased with the service (also since they started my hair once I got there). And how friendly they were to me. I would definitely recommend D'Luz Diva to anyone. Especially if you're new in the area like I am. No need to explore when you have a hair salon as great at they are!

I have been going to Sister Aminata for about 7 years now and I am never disappointed!…read more They are located across the street from Old Navy, ALL the way up the stairs. I don't get braids as often as I used to, but they always do a great job. They braid faster than most African hair braiding shops which is a huge plus for me because I hate sitting for too long. I like that they are not rough with your hair and know how to work with all hair textures. When I first started going there, I was still getting perms. After I stopped perming my hair, I was worried that the braids would hurt and that my braids wouldn't look fresh. I have 4C hair and I am tender headed, but they are gentle. If there is more than one person working on your hair (usually not more than two), they are aware of that and aren't just pulling your hair in different directions at the same time. Back when I used to get sew-ins, this was my go to place, because they know how to blend your natural hair with your weave. I have gotten everything from sew-ins to box braids here. During the summer, the AC is on and during the winter the heat is on, so it's never uncomfortable. The shop is kept clean, they are sweeping the hair off the floor throughout the day. There is enough people there that speak English, so you'll always be able to communicate exactly what you want. I would suggest trying to make an appointment even if its the day before, so that you're not waiting around all day when you get there.

I had never ever had braids/otherwise done prior to my first visit to Sister Aminata's 2 weeks ago!…read more My cousin recommended the place and tried to prep me on what to expect. Based on how long I've heard it takes to get braids in, I was expecting to be there all day - but I opted for medium Senegalese twists and it took a little over 4 hours! I had a total of 3 ladies work on my hair, 1 at a time - not all at once as I've heard is common. They were all nice and friendly and chatted to each other, not so much the customers, which was fine. The space was air conditioned, which I appreciated in this summer heat and I was perfectly happy reading my book the entire time. My scalp is relatively tender and was extremely tight afterward but in a day or two loosened up nicely. Now, 2 weeks in, I'm looking forward to trying out different styles with my gorgeous Senegalese twists!
