On Feb 12th and May 12th, I came in with multiple photos, booked a "full thickly packed foil" and also describe exactly what I wanted. I paid almost $300 for scattered foil and color over mostly gray hair.. it came out 10% blonde over my gray hair. It looked terrible. I called and complained and Tatjana would fix it if I paid for a whole new service. This is unfair as I already paid for what I described and did not receive what I asked for. She also keeps trying to sell me a blonde glaze but then says it will not work on virgin hair then offers it again. I was a client for 2 haircuts never a foil. I am not a repeat client as this is my first time having color with Tatjana. The photos I brought in were of women with natural grey. They had been foiled over. I had this done before Covid on my roots at an other salon. Before I grew out my hair 4 inches of my roots were foil bleach and some color for low lights and I never had a hard line because it's a foil highlight and it blended nicely. You never said that the photos were not possible but kept pushing me to get a glaze. The very few foils were placed scattered on my head. It looks like what I came in with but with a couple dark almost orange blonde streaks. I did not have a full blow dry as I had to leave as I was there for almost 3 hours wearing a mask and I had another appointment. When it dried and I got to look at it in better light I saw how very little blonde was in And it's basically my own white/grey hair with a couple thick strands of orange blonde. It looks like I have cooked spaghetti noodles pinned in my hair. I was not able to go back at 7:30 at night as I had other things planned. I was not able to go the Monday. Tatjana makes you feel bad for her having to come in on her day off to fix her own mistake. Maybe don't ruin the hair in the first place? I requested a redo or a refund and I'm being told by her that she will not refund me for the failed foil and my only other option is to pay for a whole new service. So I as a customer am not happy with my hair, I called back within 2 hours after leaving and was told I need to pay for a whole new service to fix it. I have complained about this fraud to the Department of Consumer Protection , Better Business Bureau and also plan to file a civil suit. Buyer beware! I also plan to file a formal complaint with the Connecticut State Board Of Cosmetology.

Where do I begin? I've had quite a few experiences here over the past 2.5 years. Its really close…read moreto me (walking distance) and I don't have much time to travel for my hair..thats literally the only reason I kept going. I now think I've accumulated enough experience to give them 2 stars without hesitation. I've gone both as a 4b natural to get my hair pressed and when I transitioned back to relaxers. If you're natural and you just want someone to do a great job of washing blow drying and flat ironing your natural hair without giving you heat damage then this is a great place to go. I'm a freak about the health of my hair and never once did she damage my hair with heat tools and it always got very straight. The horrors started after I transitioned back to relaxers. I did a lot of research before hand and wanted to make sure I would maintain my armpit length hair. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. A lot of issues arose because there was no attention to the individual customer or healthy hair. I now realize that (didn't know what was causing it at the time) that multiple relaxer types were alternated on my hair every time I went in because they never remembered which one worked well for me the first time. It resulted in varying textures and a lot of breakage. My hair was either under processed or I left with painful scabs on my scalp. It would just swing from one extreme to the other when the previous experience was brought up. She tried to convince me that I actually needed to come in more often (ie monthly lol) to relax my hair to address this issue. Also, many times relaxer was found left in my hair while they began blowdrying and I had to go back to get it washed out.... Or they would run out of relaxer mid touchup and had to wait for more to be mixed as it sat on my head.... Either one of those things literally happened to me every time I went in. You would think they would realize a year in that I had a lot of hair and to prepare for that... FYI to keep this in perspective there are only 2 employees here and they knew my name. Lets see...I once had to leave with blow dried half done hair as I waited for her for almost 2 hours to finish with another client. As the breakage progressed, despite my bringing up the my thinning ends and short choppy pieces in the front there were no suggestions as to what the cause was. No suggestions for treatments. No tips beside more frequent relaxers. I'd routinely ask for roller sets to avoid heat and they'd schedule that for me on the phone but when I got there, there was always an excuse about time and I had to get it flat ironed... The one time I did get a rollerset it was rushed and came out wet. Had to be finished off with hand dryer. Basically there was no attention to hair health at all and I made the unfortunate mistake of placing too much trust in the knowledge of a stylist. She didn't know things I got off of a quick google.. but fronted pretty well in the beginning so I was deceived. I literally left every appointment thinking "I'm never coming back here again" but somehow found myself back in her chair. I often questioned what I was doing wrong...tried everything in the book at home..but its pretty hard to salvage a recurrently bad relaxer...I once had to come home and wash my hair out again with neutralizing shampoo because my hair was sticking together and getting hard. Also, the hours are extremely inconvenient if you work and the few Saturday time slots are very rushed. Pros: The salon is beautiful and professional looking. It was never crowded. Quality products (just not consistent). No head jerking or ripping through hair. In summary, I would honestly suggest this place (and have) if you are natural and want your hair heat straightened. If you get relaxers and actually want your hair past neck length I would run far away. Cannot comment on the extensions.

It was a wonderful experience from the moment I called. She greeted me professionally over the phone and booked my appointment right away. When I arrived she and her co-worker greeted me and my mother (who was not getting her hair done, but just joining me for the day) warmly. I was started right away. Her co-worker Damieka is in training, but you can tell that she knows her stuff. She prepped me for my relaxer by basing my hair. She did a thorough job. Richlin was in the middle of weaving another clients hair but came over to relax me in a timely manner. Her assistant rinsed me and did a great job shampooing, asking me about my tingly spots, and she gave a great massage. When I was done Richlin wrapped my hair and put my under her dryer right away too. I can't say how great it is to have someone be friendly, move you along and not drag the process out, and actually know what they are doing! She was even nice enough to trim my hair. I know that my hair is far from perfect and she did not make me fee lame for having split ends. She just offered to clean them up, which was very cool of her. I ended up having a great experience. The salon is in the middle of renovation but you can tell its going to be fabulous. Ladies, if you are a sistah in search of a new salon, try Richlin. She's great!
