I saw Ms. Marchel for a wash, dry, and silk press. My hair…read moreis NOT easy to deal with (highly-dense, 3c/4a/4b coily mix, down-to-my-butt length, tangles right after you remove the brush, etc.). I am depressed and physically disabled (and was recovering from a major surgery at the time), so I had been unable to do the usual upkeep necessary for my hair with any kind of regularity. Honestly, it was a dirty, fairly matted (to the point of looking like I had a few poorly-done locs) HOT MESS. Just THINKING about doing my own hair, and how bad it had got, had me in tears for two months. I thought she'd have to cut a lot of it off tbh. She didn't turn me away, like I half-expected. It was well-within her right to see the rat's nest on my head and just refuse service or rebook me, but she didn't. That grace is something I still appreciate to this day (I saw her pre-pandemic, so this was some time ago). Doing what she did for me was beyond the job I paid her for; I am so grateful she helped me! ** a friendly reminder to be sure to tip your stylists/hairdressers!! ** For reference: It took 3 or 4 people simultaneously flat-ironing my hair at another salon (the "Texas Hair Team" over by Spring HS) to get it done in over 4 hours. THEY also told me that I "needed to get [my] hair relaxed or don't come back." That time I had gone in for ONLY styling with CLEAN, DETANGLED hair in a few large twists. Girl, bye. Ms. Marchel did it BY HERSELF, MUCH FASTER (an hour and a half MAX for detangling, shampooing, conditioning, detangling again, drying, another quick detangle, and the silk press itself), didn't charge me extra for the texture of the hair that naturally grows out of my scalp (as so many salons around here do... iykyk ), didn't complain at all or guilt me, was professional, and did a damn good job! I was ASTONISHED by her speediness, how thorough she was, and the result!! My curls also bounced right back after wash-day! No heat damage! It's been awhile since I've seen her, but I still HIGHLY recommend her for a BEAUTIFUL silk press on natural coily hair!

First, let me start by saying I think this stylist does a decent job with basic and natural styles…read more My review is on a sew-in experience I had at this salon. My sew-in experience was tragic to put it lightly. The appointment started off well. I brought in 2 bundles of hair. The stylist said she would color it to match my hair color. She colored 1 bundle of the hair. During my appointment, one of her friends/clients came in to discuss a style she was planning to get the following week. Although this salon is marketed as a private setting, this client/friend was allowed to sit and talk during the duration of my appointment. As she was sewing the tracks, she would continue to look at her phone. I'm not sure if she was looking at directions on how to do a sew in or what. When my hair was done, I informed her that I'd like it cut to resemble my natural hair length. Once I left the salon, I saw where tracks were visible at the top (she had to see this before I left), so I went back and she attempted to fix it. Once I got home, not only could I still see tracks at the top, but thread was popping out in the back and a track that was not sewn down was also sticking out. I sent her a picture and she told me to either cut it or Bobby pin it until the next time I return to the salon. The next day (Sunday), I had to get the sew in taken out by someone else because it was falling apart. It was the worst $200 job ever. She did not even cut the tracks to fit naturally. She simply rolled them on top of each other, which made it extremely bulky and impossible to lay flat. I sent her a text that Monday informing her that I had to get the sew-in removed. She never replied. A simple acknowledgement or sorry would have sufficed. For that reason, I realized this is not the stylist for me. Although I wasted a lot of money, I simply see it as a donation to someone who needs it more that I do!

She was very patient about getting just the "right" cut and followed requested directives perfectly -- all with a smile on her face. Cut was excellent! A great job all around. I would not hesitate to return here myself for a little snip-snip of my own hair!

They both approached it differently, but the results were beautiful both times. It is easy to book an appointment through the vagaro app and pick a time that works for you without calling the location. When I got there I got serviced fairly quickly and both stylists were nice and conversational and made sure to give me what I wanted. There were a couple miscommunications but we figured it out pretty quickly. After both of these appointments I happened to have professional photoshoots so I want to share the great work these stylists have done by sharing. The outdoor shots were in April after my appointment with Kylie, and the indoor image were in August after my appointment with Helena. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because the price was expensive.

Mind you, my hair was dry the whole time he cut it. He also told me my hair was blonde, to which I replied "my hair has been this color my whole life, minus the gray". I got home and washed it and guess what...it was uneven! I'm talking inches of uneven hair. He cut 4-5" off (see posted pic) , and my hair isn't blended at all and is super uneven all over. I'm going to have to have it cut when I go home because it's horrible. I went in asking for a layered and blended cut with no more than 4-5" taken off. Instead, I'll have to have a haircut to get my hair straight in the back to keep some of my length.

My appointment began as soon as I arrived and was completed within the time frame offered. There was no overlapping appointment with other clients ( This was VERY important for me). It was also very convenient that she provides stretched hair at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Olayinka to my friends and neighbors.
