I'm so in LOVE with my new hairstyle! I'm so happy i found this place and only 20 mins from home…read moreYASSSS!! . I spent 4 years in Atlanta (a.k.a- hair capital of the world to an ATL resident) there are creative stylist on every corner in ATL. So when I moved back to the Bay Area, it was a struggle trying to find a black hairstylist who knows what they are doing. I would read every review, scroll every pic on their Instagram page and nothing! Then I stumbled across TTP Yelp page - excellent reviews and IG pics showing off their work didn't disappoint. I sent them a message via Yelp and Starr hit me back immediately. GIRLFRIENDS!!! ....My forever new stylist Starr is the TRUTH! Girlfriend has skills! My cut and color is on point and people are constantly stopping me and telling me how beautiful I look. She is the BEST!!!! I plan to dip my feet a little more in the cut and color world.... I trust Starr is going to have a few creative styles just for me.

This review is about the unresponsiveness of the business, not the service…read more By way of background, I made a special trip to this salon about making an appointment. It was a small (very), busy shop, with every chair occupied, so I was mindful of the stylists' time. A stylist I believe named Starr, the owner, introduced me to Nikita. The staff suggested booking online, but I asked Nikita if I could speak with her directly as I had several questions. Rather than interrupt her while she was working with a client, I asked for her number and the best day to call. She suggested Sunday or Monday, and I told her I'd call Monday. On Monday, I sent a text reminding her of our conversation and asking when she might be available to talk. Three days later, Nikita has still not responded. I made the effort to visit in person because I was geniunely interested in becoming a client. I understand that stylists are busy, but a brief reply - or simply directing me back to online booking- would have been appreciated. The lack of follow-up leaves me wondering what communication (or lack thereof) would be like once I became a client. I hope the owner is aware, because prospective clients may be slipping through the cracks. Finally, I found a wonderful stylist who I reached out to via email - and she immediately responded. Guess who has my business !

I just left my first wash n go appointment with LaTasha and had to come back here - she's amazing…read moreat what she does! I'm on a journey of wearing my hair in its natural state, she was very patient and thorough with talking about how I care for it and healthier alternatives. She's shown me how to wear my natural curls which, before today, I had not done before (bc twist outs, etc. technically don't count). Mind is blown, excited to learn more, will definitely be back.

I don't even know where to start, so I'll just dive right in. I've been struggling with my…read morepartially curly/partially straight hair my whole life. Extremely frustrating, to say the least. We've all been to a million stylists and poured out our concerns, frustrations, and hopes for getting our hair to look like we want it to. Not only when you step away from that appointment, but ideally for at least a few weeks after the appointment. Trying to maintain the wrong cut and trying to keep it looking fresh is a struggle within itself and what has been happening to me for most of my life. I now know that is because all along I've need a Hairapist, not a "Stylist". So then comes the day I entered this dope little salon for my appointment with LaTasha the Hairapist. Let's start with the vibe of her salon - so aesthetically lit, I'd want to have a private cocktail party in there. So pretty and decorated so fly! LaTasha has a warmth about her that is so welcoming, from the moment you step inside this hair sanctuary of hers. And when you sit in her chair, the magic begins and lasts not only after your appointment is over (and I didn't want it to end, trust!) but for weeks/months afterwards! I'm currently at 2 months and my hair is still looking right thanks to her technique as well as all of the knowledge she instilled in me during our session. I've seen others on here refer to LaTasha as a curl whisperer, a hair goddess - well, she certainly is. I felt so spoiled by her treatment of my hair and scalp while in the bowl, and while in her chair as she gave me the most transformational cut, that brought to life all the layers of curls that were hiding underneath my straight heavy pieces. The curls came to life before my eyes, and I am geeking like nobody's business!! Because of the tips she gave me during our session, I have been able to easily maintain my fabulous new do, even while being as busy as I am. I'm excited to be back in her chair next week to receive the magic again, and to hang with this unique woman, so filled with light and an incomparable love for her passion! 15 years of experience is nothing short of amazing when she pours all of that, plus her passion, into transforming your hair and sending you off floating on a cloud. I'm so grateful I was referred to LaTasha through a friend, and mark my words, you won't ever catch me in another chair besides this gifted Hairapist's chair. Next time it's about to be a photoshoot, I wish I'd taken pics the first time! THANK YOU LATASHA! You've changed my life!

Long review alert lol…read more Nenefua (Cynthia) is all sorts of wonderful :))) I first met her 10 years ago (when her shop was on Adeline in Berkeley). She did my crochet braids with body wave hair. It looked like a human hair weave and was gorgeous! Lots of compliments! She just did my hair for the second time -- 10 years, 1 cross-country move, and lots of life events later. Since 10 years ago, I only got braids (crochet braids) twice, and I only let my play sister do them lol. Ummmmm... otherwise, I knew I needed to wait until I was back in the Bay Area for Nenefua to do my braids. This time she did beautiful, very small, very long Senegalese twists (what we call micro, but what she told me aren't really micro lol). She provided beautiful synthetic hair (extra, reasonable cost) that looks and feels like human hair. Love it!! Her excellent work, personality and calm demeanor make her my braider -- well-worth the cross-country trip!

Amazing quality-- not only the final product, but also my time spent in the chair…read more I had the pleasure of having my hair done by NanaEfuwa (Cynthia) today and was not disappointed. My lower back length Senegalese twists are all that I wanted-- and more. Upon arrival, we had a consultation where she took the time to patiently walk me through the process of understanding cost of the service as having three variables: 1) girth/size of braid (from micro to jumbo--she even has a standardized ring to help you decide), 2) length of the braid from the scalp (shoulder length, mid-back, etc.) and 3) density of the braids (how many braids will be placed in your hair given the other two variables). I had a LOT of questions--primarily how she would be able to make braids that were durable on hair that was recently tapered and less than an inch long in some parts. After ensuring I was happy with the intersection of what I desired and what was possible (as well as all feeling good about the price), we started the process. First, it was quite the visual experience watching her blend hair colors. From my description of "medium brown with light brown/golden tones", she took three different colors and started turning them together in her hands, personalizing my hair bundles. She said no two of her clients ever have exactly the same color-- what an unexpected delight! After having me approve of the final hair, she started braiding. I appreciate her checking in with me to ensure I was happy with a few test rows before reaching a point where it would not have been as easy to pivot (she didn't need to change anything, but I appreciate the question). I also benefitted greatly from the stillness offered in her salon. I closed my eyes and enjoyed silence (even nodded off a few times), engaged in captivating conversation, stared at degrees on the wall and wondered "What happened to Julie?"** and watched a master beautician impart her knowledge onto the next generation through apprenticeship. Overall, I am so grateful a ChatGPT prompt for "low-tension braiders in the Bay Area" displayed her shop. NanaEfuwa specializes in taking care of the scalp and your hair (as well as your entire being), so in addition to using natural products, she utilizes specific techniques to hold the braid in slight counter traction to oppose the pull generated while braiding. Between me, NanaEfuwa or Una holding the braids at various times, the entire process was at most uncomfortable-- never painful. I wanted to write this review to thank NanaEfuwa and help others to make a great decision to reach out. I have found my Bay Area Braider and maybe even a new friend! **look at the two "Board Member" signatures on the degrees and compare 2018 to 2022. Of course, you have to book a service to sit in her chair to do so. You should. :-)
