Babes' B.

By far, worst hair experience hands down. Worst birthday gift ever. Called to request a quote for waist length boho knotless braids. Serenity originally quoted a price that included the hair & the gel that was to be used. In all it took 3 days for my hair to be complete. My appt was scheduled for Saturday & it included a wash & blow before the braiding. So when I arrived she had just started on another client & advised that it shouldn't take that long. [RED FLAG #1] So I took a smoke break & went to McDonalds. By the time I returned she was still working on the clients head so she had her mother (an elderly woman) wash my hair in the kitchen since. She began to damage & pull my hair out while trying to comb my hair out with the shampoo still in there. I had to tell her to stop & to comb it out instead with the conditioner. [RED FLAG #2] After that, I sat on the couch waiting for about 3 hrs when we both agreed that I should just come back the next morning. So I did. When I arrived she braided one braid for me to show me the length & when I pointed to my waist & told her I originally she asked waist length, she said that that was not what was booked for me & that to do waist length would be an additional charge. [RED FLAG #3] I let her know that would not be a problem. Then some religious differences came up which caused her to take a break from my hair before we even started & me to have to step outside for a while for a smoke break. She got to about halfway with my hair when we took a second break, during this break she decided to go to the grocery store so that she could make some tacos once she got back. I sat outside once again for another smoke break. (This time for more than an hour). [RED FLAG #4] When she returned I had food dropped off for me to eat (idk if she took offense to that because she did offer to feed me since we had already given her a partial payment since Saturday). I also had a neck pillow so that I would be more comfortable & just in case I fall asleep. I fall asleep & wake up to her on the phone saying that I could come back tomorrow to finish up. & how I look uncomfortable while she's doing my hair. (I had a knee brace so she was more concerned about that than I was really). So she asks me if I want to keep going & I say yes, but she keeps insisting that she doesn't think I'm comfortable & that it's ok for me to just come back tomorrow. She offered to drop me home & to come pick me up the next day. So I said fine because I figured she was more tired than anything. So the next morning I sat & waited for her from 10am to about 3pm. She advised me that she was running some errands & that she'll let me know once she's home. Ultimately I received regular box braids that lasted a month (the curls lasted a day) & had near $400 spent.

Love my hair

Sew in. Exactly what I wanted..serenity takes pride in doing a good job. Hair care is important especially when your hair is thin. I get so many compliments! Good for my self esteem

Hair was starting to look a little shaggy, so I went on the Yelp hunt for a new salon…read more Came across House of beauty. Awesome reviews, beautiful pictures. Everything Looked good... Checked them out on Facebook too, since they have no number listed on Yelp or google, reached out on FB messenger to the Business and I was connected to a lady named Stacie. She informed me that you have to set up your appointment with her through an app called StyleSeat ... It's basically a Yelp for hair, nails, waxing, eyelashes, and pretty much everything beautifying. I'm not sure if all the technicians here at HOB use this app for scheduling appointments? But the app itself even has lots of reviews and pictures too, plus Stacie gave me her Instagram to check out even more of her work, and I was sold lol.... She really has some talent! So everything is by appointment through the app only. And it's really easy to use. So my appointment date rolls around. Stacie informed me VIA text she was a little behind and if I could come 30.mins later, sure no problem. Arrived and sent her the text that I was there (since she informed me they keep the doors locked for safety reasons) and she lets me in... The place is a little house that's been transformed into a salon, and each room has its own little station, it's super cute,, fun, clean and comfortable. I loved it. And Stacie was very easy to talk to, super sweet and friendly, And she understood what I wanted, even kept asking me little details to make sure she did what I wanted too!... and I'd say she delivered! she brought my hair back to life! lol. I was so happy with her work. She has the hands of a machine when it comes to blow drying your hair, lol. I've never seen such movement with a hairbrush and blow dryer before. Haha! My experience here was so wonderful and I would very much recommend her and The House of Beauty to anyone ! Thanks again Stacie!

My co worker referred me here. The House of Beauty is located literally at the intersection of…read more18th and F Street. It was not busy at all which i was surprised. Im used to a busy salon so coming here was peaceful. It was pretty quick to get in with Stacey. She was very kind! I came to her to get my roots done, it was an in and out appointment which I appreciated. Sure will return again!

Why it took me 3 years to go back here when it is so close to home, I have no idea…read more.. But, I found Jaime and she is just the greatest! Super personable. So talented, I feel that she could cut and highlight my hair with her eyes closed. Front counter, friendly-ish. Overall, the salon is clean and seems very drama-free which is a nice change. And, I was taken in on time for my appointment. At other places, at times I was left sitting waiting 45 min to be seen as the stylists ran late most time being double and triple booked. Nice products at the front(they sell Skinceuticals skin care!) and low pressure sales felt. I bought a really good L'Oreal shampoo in a peach colored bottle that Jaime used on me. It was at a great price point. The cost of the appointment was very reasonable although there was a $15 treatment done that I had not Ok'd but I feel it was an honest mistake. The only other thing I would change is that we lost 75 cents making my appointment on line. What, why? Weird. Will call it in next time. I really liked my results/the overall feel here so see ya in June, Privato! Wee update - fast forward to June. I did not realize Jaime would be unavailable for much of summer so.. enter Jeanette! My first appointment with her was great. I do recommend her as well.

I have been coming to privato hair studio since I was 18 and now I'll be turning 22 in just a few…read moremonths. Lisa has always listened to my requests throughly and thoughtfully, always leaving me with exactly what I wanted. The vibes as soon as u walk in are also unmatched, love the luxury feel! :)
