    #NappSNAPPED

    I almost cut my locs because it's so hard for a great studio that's professional, friendly, and clean. I came across NappStar on socials, the owner seemed very nice and they had great marketing. Fair prices and in the middle of the city (PATH friendly). When I arrived, the space was vibrant and full of great energy. All the stylists were smiling, great music and clean. My stylist Nema warmly greeted me and cared for me from the wash to styling. I felt at home and secure in seeing everyone with loccs. I left feeling brand new and professional. I returned two more times and was lucky to meet the owner, so bubbly and kind. My new favorite place #NappSNAPPED

    My experience was stressful and disappointing. Initially I was attracted to the unique repair, rebuild and extension process they advertise. I have a few stubborn locs that I wanted to tend to. So I booked a consultation and was told what was possible. This information during the consult was not communicated to the stylist. It was very apparent. I arrive for my appointment and the stylist was still doing someone else's hair. After 15mins of my appointment time, she stops to do my hair. You can tell when someone doesn't want to do your hair or they don't agree with what it happening. I tried to remain optimistic but overall I felt like an inconvenience and when I made mention of my displeasure of the service to the stylist, she basically ignored and dismissed my concern and eventually moved on to finish what she was doing when I arrived. I know Im just another customer to the salon but my locs mean a lot to me. I wish I was given the effort, time and attention that others seem to get but I wasn't. After this the manager came to fix what the stylist wouldn't consider redoing but only to be reassured that they could fall out. Which made me question everything. At this point I just wanted to leave right away. So I paid and left. I would hate for anyone to be treated like I was so I can't recommend this place. The work looks amazing but beneath the hype the energy is chaotic and the tension between management and the stylists is very apparent. In total I spent over $100 for consult/loc repairs/extensions that I should expect to come out.

He specializes in Asian hairstyles and they always wash your hair with Milbon products which is so nice. He's pretty fast despite being meticulous. Haircuts take around an hour, but coloring services can take over 3 hours and are hard to book. You can book haircuts kind of last minute but book coloring a month in advance if you can!

I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

    This place has cute gentlemen with good hair and cute ladies with cute style. Don't know the names…read moreof the dudes who helped dye my hair but they were nice and did all the work without me having to think about the process. I nearly fell asleep in the chair and woke up with the job done. It's very pricey but I was comfortable the whole time. So, great service but expect a sad wallet if it's not in your price range. That said, pretty standard pricing for the location. If you're going to bleach your hair, you'd probably get the most out of it by trying a funky cool color but I just like the natural look. There's a discount if you have student ID. Would recommend this place.

    I used to love this place but this will be my last visit. Both the front desk and stylist were cold…read moreand unfriendly. I asked for ash brown (which I usually get) but I got a way lighter color than expected and the bleach (he went over the bleach twice) really damaged my hair. On top of that, they charged me for a haircut I never asked for. During the balayage, the stylist cut/thinned (no idea what he did because he never asked me) some of my hair (maybe 10 "snips"?) and they later charged me an additional $70 for the "haircut." This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"
