**Long (but detailed) review**
First off, it is so refreshing to find a BLACK-OWNED hair salon that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for a simple style I heard about this place from a friend who is natural and goes frequently, and her hair always looks healthy and smooth. I am attending a wedding this weekend, so I decided to make myself an appointment. This was my first time getting my hair professionally straightened in over 2 years.. and for good reason, I usually never leave feeling satisfied with what I've paid for.
The booking process was simple, and price was fair. Parking was free and easy (huge bonus)! As soon as I arrived at the shop, I was so impressed by how CUTE it looked inside! The receptionist knew my name and offered me a drink, and I was seated immediately. With my mimosa in hand, Ms. Lisa introduced herself, and got down to business! I have very large, very long, natural 3b/3c hair.. so I am used to people acting overwhelmed or intimidated by my hair... NOT MS LISA!! She was so excited and wanted to take so many pictures of the transformation! It made me feel comfortable already!
Her scalp massage during the shampoo was so relaxing, I actually dozed off! She even asked if any particular spot was itchy so she could focus more on that spot! It sounds like I am boosting, but I assure you I'm not. She was really that great! The music they had playing was chill r&b and good for humming along! It really just set the vibe for the whole appointment.
The blowout she did was phenomenal! Bouncy and smooth.. with just the blow dryer she made it look how others do with a flat iron. That on its own could've been a look. So then she went in with the flat iron, and gave me a trim.. always thorough and checking to see if I was comfortable. Then she styled my hair with curls and pinned them to set. WHEN I TELL Y'ALL MY HAIR WAS FLOWWWWINGGGG! It looks and feels so amazing the products they used were great quality, such as Design Essentials and Moroccanoil... she wasn't heavy handed with product, and used heat protectant throughout the process. I have nothing negative to say about my experience! I will FOR SURE be coming back to Ms. Lisa
I had even made a nail appointment about 15 mins away ahead of time, and was able to make it on time to that! read more
