I cancelled my previous appointments and decided to try Nomi out. I was nervous thinking, I hope the artist shows up to my hotel, but of course she did, was on time and professional yet personable! I highly recommend their services! I was very happy with the entire process. Very easy! Thank you!

I am no longer comfortable booking them for my wedding or pre-wedding activities. The customer service and communication has been awful (even prior to covid). At this point I'm just trying to get a refund on what I've paid towards services never rendered (cancelled due to Covid, but no refund and no reply). I've sent 5 emails plus messages on Instagram and LinkedIn. And like I said, even before covid their communication/service was scarily unresponsive.

Sadly I think she may own the salon. Anyhow, just poor communication skills in setting up the appointment. No one responded my text messages, just IG. On IG I asked for a range for how much a rewtist would be and all she could say was "$60 and up." Then when I arrived 12 minutes late, someone barked at me to wear a mask. Mind you there is a 15 minute grace period and I let her know in advance that I was running late. As she washed my hair she spilled water all over me and when I asked for a towel she ignored me. Ironically, because of the mask policy I couldn't even drink water. So after almost 3 hours, I left the salon parched and thirsty. Additionally, it started getting cold and I had to put on my hoodie. This was a BIG deal to interrupt her for 30 seconds. She was huffing and puffing, clearly annoyed. When she put me under the dryer and I asked how long I'd be under she wouldn't tell me. She just said "until it's dry." So I had to get up to look despite my hair already being dry. Nonetheless, I continued to be kind and respectful. At the end I noticed she was snapping pics so I asked her if she was taking photos. She claimed just to show me, which I appreciated because the salon barely had any mirrors. I thought it was weird that she didn't even ask to take my photos but requested she send them to me. Despite all this I still tipped, which went unthanked. I will say I really did love how my hair turned out. She also gave me a number of hair maintainance tips to prevent my locs from falling out. Now here is why I am writing this review... I get home and it turns out she posted the pictures on both Instagram and Facebook. When I raised the issue, telling her to take down the posts and refund me, she didn't acknowledge lying to me or violating my privacy. She took the photos down, but we all know nothing can truly be deleted from the internet. Also Autumn did not refund me AT ALL. In fact she started bringing up random issues she had with me like I showed up in work out clothes so people thought I was unsanitary and I was supposedly 25 minutes late but she still took me and gave me extra time.... all signs of mental instability given that I messaged her when I arrived and there is a timestamp clearly showing I was only 12 minutes late. To top things off she had the nerve to say that she didn't accept my apology for being late. Wow...I will never go back to this place. The prices are affordable but the disrespect is too much of a cost. Save yourself the hassle.

I went in the consultation as I had my locs interlock and they were improperly done and she told me all I need to know about how to maintain my locs and repaired the damage that I had in my roots from improper interlocking technique and what needed to be done. She showed me during my consultation how it would be corrected as well as what products she uses in my hair. She is such a pleasure to know and definitely so professional, she is such a blessing. Thanks Lisa for everything.

When I got there the stylist said I didn't confirm again via call. Why would I need to confirm again? I texted her letting her know that I was running late. I have no issue that she took on another client the problem is she first said that I didn't confirm when I have it in writing I confirmed 3x the date and time of my appointment. If you were confused why didn't you reach out? I'm trying to support BOBs in my neighborhood but consistently customer service tends to be an issue. I tried to explain my position and I was just told now I'm arguing and starting issues. If she just said we started someone else cause you were late that would be disappointing but understandable. The confirmation however was there so idk what that was about.

When I went to the shop, I hadn't had my hair done in months and had accessories in my hair for a long time. She brought my hair back to life by giving me a good detox on my locs and retwisting my hair, along with styling my hair. If it wasn't for her, I would have damaged my hair. Everyone says my hair looks nice every time I get my hair done from here and inspires others to want to try locs. I even recommended my mom to get her locs done here and she comes every month. It upsets me that people would lie on her name when she's talented and deserves recognition. Yeah, she's introverted, and I am too so that's probably why I understand her so much. She keeps to herself and just focuses on making sure her client's hair is the best. She will always be my go-to!

This salon used to be so much better when Marianna was the owner. Once Marianna left everything…read morechanged for the worst. I have been coming to this salon for years and never had any issues until recently. I felt so disrespected that I won't ever be coming back to this salon. I had an appointment and received a call the same day saying that the nail techs machine stopped working so she couldn't see me because she had to go home to get a new machine, which was all a lie. So then, I rescheduled my appointment for the following day. I received a call the same day (again) by the owner saying that the girls in the salon refuse to do my nails and won't see me for my appointment. That's when I realized that the prior day they called lying about the nail techs machine not working. When I asked why they won't see me there was no real reason given to me besides that they don't feel comfortable and they can't be forced to do it. I feel like they can't take constructive criticism and get upset and irritated when u tell then how u want ur nails. I feel like if I'm paying so much money at this salon I shouldn't have to just settle for an ok job on my nails, for that I can just go to the Asian salons. I'm very particular with how I like my nails which I'm sure a lot of other females are as well so I don't see why I have to just sit there and not say anything when one nail is shorter than the other. Or if they missed a spot with the nail polish. I feel like I shouldn't have been turned away just because I make a comment here or there if something is off. Anyway, very disappointed with this salon and how they run their business. Instead of calling me to tell me the nail tech refused to see me they should work on bettering their techs and the work they do. Response to business managers comment: I'm never "rude" to any of the techs and don't bad mouth anyone. Like I said before it's not my fault that I can't just sit there and stay shut when it's clear as day that the some of the nails are off in shape and size from the others. I find it veryyy funny how ur saying I complained just to get discounts, are u out of ur mind? The only time I asked to get my price adjusted for my nails was when ur "experienced top tech" Katya couldn't do a simple design that I wanted so she offered to do chrome so I just settled for that. Not only could she not do the design but she didn't even file my nails into a good coffin shape. I had to sit there and file my nails myself which you even saw me doing. I'm not broke I don't need ur discounts. But for you to even take the time to write back trying to be even more disrespectful just goes to show how unprofessional you guys are. Im not going to sit here and go back and forth with you because your techs need more work on their "artistic skills". You should keep that same energy trying to better your techs and not faulting the customer for knowing what good work is supposed to look like. As u are well aware a few of ur best techs have left you and are now doing their own thing, so it's not my fault that now your "new top techs" can't live up to those standards. I'm not trying to just settle for some b.s when I'm paying $50 for a gel manicure.
