As a 4c natural I don't trust just anyone with my hair but Karen was amazing and did a fantastic job cleaning up my mess! And she was so sweet. I have a lot of anxiety around salons because I've had so many negative experiences in the past but Karen made me feel good about my hair and was gentle. I couldn't believe how fast I was out of there too, I don't even think it took 40 minutes from start to finish. Their COVID safety procedures are excellent too, I was taken to wash my hands as soon as I arrived, the stations were well distanced, there was constant sanitizing going on and it was spotless. I felt very safe. The other staff were all nice too. If you're on the fence especially as a kinky/curly natural, don't hesitate to go. They really do take care of everyone's hair. I also very much appreciated on their website when registering, non-binary is a gender option. It's little things like that which make a place feel welcoming.

Do NOT get intimidated by all the fun hair styles and colors the artists have here. They know what they're doing!! Starting with the last point. I had scheduled an appointment at another salon nearby. When I walked in with my (small ESA) dog, I was immediately told that dogs weren't allowed at the salon. I was shocked and a bit defeated, but on the way home, I decided to check in with Badlands to see if they allow dogs and I'm so glad they do. First off, Jeanelle, the receptionist was completely kind, welcoming, and exactly the right energy that I could hope to encounter after such a disappointing experience. She not only confirmed that they allow dogs, but told me they had a slot available (walk-in on a Saturday) with their Senior Stylist, Aimee, and handed me a glass of wine while I waited. (Great start) I was also so happy to notice the rainbow flag on the door. I was already getting the vibe that everyone is welcome here. I'm already convinced that it was complete serendipity that I got paired with Aimee. She got me right away. You could tell she started out being a bit careful with her recommendations, as we had never met before. But I explained to her that I'm a boss at work and I love a bit of an edge, and asked her what she would do if she could do anything. I loved that recommendation even more. My hair is very thin and it's hard to make it look like it has volume. She recommended some higher layers, a bit more off the ends to nix the damaged hair, less length off the fringe framing my face, and a bit of a Bardot bang. What came out was absolutely perfect. I'm also a makeup artist on the side, and it's a blessing and a curse, but I have ACUTE attention to detail. When I say I had no feedback at the end of the cut, I mean it. And this never happens. One final thought - I may have been one of the people who was a bit intimidated by this place subconsciously at at first, often peering curiously through the windows as I passed on my way home from work, not knowing if I was "cool" enough. But then I remembered when I used to work at the MAC Cosmetics store. People would come in and right away tell me they didn't want the bright makeup I was wearing, and it finally clicked. As a professional, I would never put that makeup on them if they weren't comfortable as much as the artists here wouldn't give me a style I didn't want. I highly recommend coming to this salon if you want a cutting edge look and to feel welcomed. I'm so grateful to live a block from here and I look forward to seeing Aimee soon!

Finally, seeing a neighbor who always has a very chic bob, which suits her face perfectly, I asked her where she goes - and she told me: Roman's. What a find! You walk in, no fuss, he completely knows what he is doing, and gives you a flattering cut. I love it. That's all I want: a reliably good cut from a professional. I don't need a glass of wine. I don't want to be sold products. I just want to be able to make a phone call, walk in, get my hair cut, walk out knowing I look great, and also - the best part is the cost is so crazy reasonable. Now I am in Atlanta, which is the only reason I don't go there any more.

To put a finer point on it, - After my hair was cut, Benoit gave me a shampoo - After drying, a bunch of minor adjustments were made - After styling, some super fine adjustments were made The day of both cuts I got compliments from several of my roommates (was living in 2 different shared houses, respectively). Really great job. I'm pretty picky about my hair, usually when getting a new stylist I go through 3-5 before settling on someone I'm happy with. As long as I'm in the NY area I'll be going here for the for-seeable future.
