I've lived in Raleigh for going on 6 years and have struggled to find a haircare professional who truly listens and cares about my hair journey. DeShawna Briscoe was highly recommended by a friend and my first appointment was nothing short of perfect at Mixed Roots. The salon is conveniently located in the Creedmoor Rd Shopping Plaza near Bada Wings. I am familiar with the location, as it was home to another local salon I was a client of who rented the property years ago. Upon entering the Mixed Roots salon, I felt right at home. The salon is not rowdy and offers a clean and visually pleasing aesthetic. The volume of the music and playlist selection was perfect for a relaxing Sunday. DeShawna welcomed me warmly and there was not a long wait to begin my service. The other stylist sharing the salon floor was professional as well and managed her clients well. Deshawna exceeded my expectations the first visit. I booked a Silk Press & Trim. I really enjoyed how meticulous and how gentle DeShawna was with my natural curls. This appointment was a breath of fresh air. From the Shampoo to the final reveal. Many stylists have struggled to detangle and complete a blowout for me, leading to further damage. DeShawna has blessed hands and my silk press seemed effortless to her. The haircut is beautiful, and she styled my hair perfectly without me having to guide her. She just gets me. She is personable and I enjoyed time spent in the chair being educated and getting to know one another. This is the first time I've left the salon and my hair did not smell like a barbecue grill. My hair feels good and hydrated. I look forward to my hair journey with DeShawna. read more
