My stylist was Tricia and her twin sister Lisa did my hair one time when Tricia got sick and they both are weave queens! They are among best and will have your weave looking like it's your own hair because they cut so low with the razor (which allows the weave to look as natural as possible). I would get so many compliments when I'd go here. I wouldn't suggest going here if your aren't trying to get a weave because it's pretty much just a weave bar. I was a customer there since 2006 and I never saw anyone getting anything other than a weave (and trust me the place is ALWAYS packed...especially on weekends). Their work is so amazing that I wanted to give 5 stars but I just couldn't because they need to do a little better with their customers/customer service. They need some type of sign in sheet or something because there were a couple times that I went there on a Saturday morning, arrived at around 6:30am (to guarantee I'd be first) and others would come soon after. By the time the female who braids your hair arrived people would try to act as if they don't know what place in line they are and lie that they were there before others. Then the stylist would come (finally) and would ask me who came after me! If I knew I'd tell her (and people would get mad) but if I didn't oh well. Also sometimes the female who does the braiding (Shelly) would have an attitude with me for no reason at all.

And honestly I have…read morenever stepped foot into this salon, but after meeting the "manager" I really don't care to or even want to. This ain't it. After a night out in the city, I was stopped by a lovely makeup artist of the salon with red hair and bomb makeup who tried pitching their services and special one-time-deal package they had going on. Compared to any potential customer who they could have stopped on 34th street, I would like to think that I was pretty patient and had open ears because they conversation went on for more than 5 minutes-- which is a steal in NYC because you can't get anyone to talk to ANYONE. The lady did what she needed to do (AKA her JOB, which I respected enough to listen to) until the manager/owner came into the conversation.. I sat through their sales pitch and denied the services everytime, saying that "I just didn't have the money right now" no matter what specialized deal they had to reward me of my "honesty" had come up. I honestly just didn't have the money to spend on a service that I had to pay up front. I didn't WANT to spend the money. And I shouldn't have to bend over backwards in order to do so. Despite this, I even went as far as asking for a business card because I explained I was open to finding someone who can take care of natural hair, rather than having to go all the way to New Jersey to my regular stylist. They prided themselves to be a woman/black/natural hair-owned salon but did not pride themselves as the women in power they are. After repeatedly and respectfully declining, the manager said, "so you're really that broke, huh?" ..Excuse me? I am not obligated to tell you what my finances are other than the fact that I am declining your services. I may be committed to a stylist but open to another. It could have been ANY situation. Yet after hearing that, I simply collected my peace and wished them a good night. But I mean, who wants to be told that, ever? How is that appropriate to tell a potential customer? Because in the world of making money for your business, I would assume prospects and building loyalty are just as valuable as actual customers who buy on the spot. As I said, coming from a background of sales in the fashion and beauty industry, it is extremely disappointing to be treated so spitefully, unsympathetically, and unprofessionally simply because you don't want to spend money right when someone stops you on YOUR night out. I get that y'all are trying to market and advertise, but have some respect. The disappointing part about it is, I really would have went to the salon and paid full price to try out any services that would fit me despite not being able to pay at the very moment because there are very little to no salons in the tri-state area that actually do take care of natural hair RIGHT. I would expect that natural girls stick with natural girls and have their backs with their business model and belief FOR natural girls. Althought this is definitely not a reflection on the stylists and their talent, the way an owner does business is just as important and speaks just as loudly. Thanks, but-- I'd rather travel all the way to New Jersey to MY regular, RESPECTFUL stylist and woman-owned business instead of taking the chances on a businesswoman who has no respect for potential clients or even other women in general. Do better.

Amanda is extraordinarily well trained in her craft in cut, styling, and extensions, but that isn't what makes her truly great. She brings a blend of technical skill, artistic vision, and genuine love for her clients that gives each one a uniquely beautiful result and an incredible salon experience. I started getting extensions with her 9 years ago during my medical residency and saw her almost continuously--except for a lapse of judgement when I bleached the life out of my dark hair. I instantly went back to her and she picked the perfect extension solution to allow my natural hair to grow back healthy and shiny. When I ventured to go without extensions, she fixed my suboptimal cut into perfection. I love her, I miss her, and I can say without reservations that she is THE BEST.
