(They are a rip off! Super pricey and the work doesn't even match! Be ready to spend $200+ for anything)
I used to live in Flushing AV. A couple of stops away from where I live now, which is close to this Salon. I had a baby 3 months ago, and I hadn't done my hair in a long time. I was looking for a hair salon with Spanish style, because I am Spanish and my hair is very curly. So I used my google app and it let me to Narda's hair salon. I walked in @ 10:00am and there was no one in the salon. Just me and Narda. I said "hi" and told her I needed to get a new color. I wanted black. And that also perhaps she could look at my hair and cut my ends. I wanted to cut a bit more than I did 2 weeks ago. She said, "sure, we will get you pretty, don't worry." And proceeded to continue to text on her phone. I over looked how rude that was because perhaps it was important. I was rushing that day because I left my baby with my husband. But I just politely asked again as she continued to text, then sent her last text and went to the bathroom. Then came out and said "why black?" I told her that I used to color my hair lighter and I just didn't have the time that light hair needed for upkeep. She then told me that black is boring and that I should look at her hair color book, and convinced me to do a light color. I said "ok." It was December 31st. Why not? She told me that she uses top products and that after adding hair color, washing hair, cutting hair, it was going to be $175. I was like wow? That's so much. I even texted my husband and he was outraged I have been to top salons on 50st in midtown and I have been charged $150 max. I was thinking, it was ridiculous. But I was thinking perhaps tip is added or something. So I accepted. She washed my hair, then colored it. Then she cut it. Then she washed it again, and put it in rollers. It was around 12 noon now and she finally begins to dry it. When the hair starts taking form, i see that it just looks completely weird and I ask her to fix it, that's not what the cut is supposed to be. It had some sort of bob style. My hair was in layers and was supposed to look just a bit shorter and not this new haircut. So I ask now that she fixes it. She kept saying that because my hair was a certain way it couldn't be done what I wanted. She kept cutting but just kept doing it wrong, no matter what I asked. Her sister now walks into the salon and she offers to help, she finally gives me the cut I want. And fixes the messed up parts. She also dries my hair better and flat irons it. It was 3:30pm and I was a bit annoyed it took forever, but now it was time to pay and get out of here. I go to the cashier with Lola and Narda said. "Make her a $200 slip to pay." I was like huh? $200? Are you crazy? You said 175! She said she put on me her expensive Toner and that she also had to fix my hair. And that is worth $200. I was like no, you said $175. I don't have $200 to pay. I already think $175 is way too crazy. She then yelled at me that she has been doing my hair since 10am, 10am to get it perfect for me. I told her, how is that my fault?! You said you'd do it, you took your time. Now her sister says, hey? It isn't that much. Just $25 more plus you gotta pay for tax. Now I was just to my limit? Tax?! You gave me a flat fee. This is the hood! I'm not buying a pair of shoes! I said I could pay $175. They kept arguing and so did I.
By this time, Narda had taken a lil girl and her grandma to do the girl's hair, and said. Look she is got her hair cut and washed and dried and she has to pay tax. Her total is $77. I was like oh man! That's still a lot! I told her that I was gonna go to the cashier and get $175, she followed me annoyed and talking the whole way. I came back to say , "I'm sorry, I just couldn't pay that much." I was so angry I already paid so much for all of it and that I had been there for so long and at the end try to get more ripped off than before. I cried! I just recommend that if you ever go here, have $500 in your pocket. Because the prices will keep changing on you. No matter what you think, they'll add more imaginary products and things they did that have a price value, and your bill will be super expensive. Do not go here unless you are rich! read more
