I booked for a mid-day blowout, confirmed by phone and text days before, then arrived a few minutes early, got a robe, and was told to wait. About 35 minutes after my actual appointment time, a stylist finally strolled over with half an eye-roll, seeming extremely inconvenienced -- no greeting, no apology for the half-hour delay, and proceeded to sigh and eye-roll through the sloppiest (wet ears and face, she had to literally wipe my EYES) shampoo and frizziest blowout (yanking, pulling, whacking me in the head and face with the brush) I think I've managed to get just about anywhere in the city. I think all told we exchanged about 18 words throughout? Just bafflingly surly and amateur. Wild!

The pictures show my hair texture (4c) before Johanny, and my first wash (about three weeks after) being serviced by them . Also, there's a video that shows my call-log with the owner (I had a couple questions prior to visiting) to serve as proof I went to them since they have a habit of claiming that everyone who leaves a 'bad' review were never serviced by them or is an ex-employee. Beware if you have afro-textured hair and decide to come here. You might have to do a big chop like me! I hope in the future they're more inclusive for all hair types.

Jose, the gentleman who answered the phone was very professional and courteous when we spoke. He gave me exact pricing and let me know in advance that it would cost more if my hair was extra long. We agreed on a time I would arrive at the salon and the next day when I did, I was greeted by a lovely woman, who pronounced my name and went to working on my hair right away. I was a bit concerned because I was wondering if she'd be able to handle my hair in all its thickness and kinky coiliness and she did, with the quickness. I was very surprised by how she was able to wash, condition, roller set, and blow dry my hair so fast. When it was time for the trim, I was confident that she'd finish the job right because she made sure to tell me what my hair was looking like and what needed to be done before proceeding. She even had Jose explain it to me more thoroughly in English. One of the things I appreciated about the salon besides the excellent customer service, the actual great service, and the cost was that the place felt comfortable. I was greeted and I felt welcomed and warm while at the shop. It felt like the old school shops where everyone says hello and is pleasant. I highly recommend this place, as they offer great options and perks that come with getting your hair done. I walked out looking like "who's that girl" and was grinning from ear to ear. Thank you to the salon.

TL;DR Went for a basic single process / grey coverage and left with brassy hot roots…read more After having a couple bad experiences at my previous salon, I decided to try this location given the strong reviews. I needed a single process to cover my greys - I have medium brown hair, no highlights. Should be simple enough. Upon getting in the chair, the stylist mentioned she thought my greys looked resistant, I agreed because I know that my color usually has to sit for a while, but she didn't ask me any questions beyond that. Instead, the she spent most of the time suggesting I should get highlights (which is not unusual when discussing how to add more dimension), but this was after I just explained how I stopped getting highlights a few years back because I didn't like how much it damaged my hair. When it was time to process, she put me under heat, which I have never had done before in the past 6 years of getting this service. I thought it was odd at first, but not knowing anything about hair coloring, assumed it was necessary for the type of product they use at this salon. I was under heat for about 10 minutes which felt far too long as my hairline was starting to sting badly. As soon as we started drying, it seemed like my roots were much lighter than normal, but once fully dry the color looked accurate enough. I don't know if it was the lighting in the salon or what, but it wasn't until I got home that I noticed my roots were so hot and brassy! While I blame myself for not looking more closely at the time, I imagine a Level 6 Stylist would have easily noticed this, yet she didn't say anything about it all and acted like my hair color was matched perfectly. Very disappointing that she never asked about heat being necessary previously for my greys and just assumed to use it, knowing heat during a single process is the fastest way to getting hot roots. Giving 2 stars because the rest of the staff was nice and the blow out was good. Sadly I'm now on the hunt for another new salon.
