If you haven't been, book your appointment today--it's the best investment you'll make in your self-care. Thank me later! read more

This salon is amazing! As I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm greeting & smiles. I was getting my hair done with Ngina, who is an amazing stylist. I loved the style & cut! The salon was so elegant & chique & prompted me to indulge in 1 of their many other services, I chose a massage. The massage was relaxing & serene. Would definitely recommend to all. I've already booked my next appointment. Lovely environment. Thanks for having me! Ayanna read more

Unfortunately today I didn't have a good experience with this salon. I had an appointment for 11am for a haircut. I received a text around 9am on the day of my appointment from the salon asking me if I was going to make it to my appointment and I responded with a yes. I arrived to my appointment on time! Then I was told that I only scheduled a haircut which is a "add-on" service, but that they would still see me. If you see the schedule for the day and noticed I only booked for a haircut why wouldn't you call me to tell me this. So after I checked in, the receptionist explained to me that they are short staffed due to the bad weather we had the day before and I would have to wait longer than usual. Well I ended up having to wait an hour! Ok, not a big deal, I can be understanding about the lack of stylist due to the weather but again, when I was contacted earlier that morning, why wasn't this me mentioned to me. I don't understand why it is ok for a client to have to wait an hour, but yet if I were to be 15 mins late then it would be a problem. The stylist starts cutting my hair and then stops to attend to another client and after 20 mins comes back to me. I wasn't given a Cape so I ended up with hair ALL OVER ME, my face, purse, jacket, scarf. I had errands to run after my appointment and had to worry about getting hair all over the place. The stylist didn't give me a mirror so I could look at the back. And although I was given a mediocre service I was still charged full price. I at least could've gotten a discount for the hour wait. I was so excited about this place, but unfortunately it was a disappointment. read more

Studio Chique - Their website does not indicate that a hair cut is a "add-on" service. - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Don't go here if you actually care about the health of your hair. Nice facilities and cordial staff but they don't actually care about keeping your hair healthy or doing any type of education. The stylist talked me into a relaxer and then over-processed the ish out of my hair over the course of a year when I was loyal to her and this salon. I even emailed about my disappointment and was ignored. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

After frequenting this salon for the last five years and providing multiple customer referrals, I will NOT be returning. The salon has made no attempt to reconcile or even contact me to understand what happened, which is why I am leaving a review. From the way the salon is ran to the negative attitudes of the stylists, there are other salons in DC that take pride in their service and value returning customers and don't see them as a burden. This review is for failed hair coloring services and wig construction. I was initially scheduled to come in for a single process color. The salon had a water issue and instead of alerting clients in the morning before their arrival, they only informed me when I showed up. I took off work to make this appointment because I had gala events scheduled, so while I recognize it was not the salons fault, there's a certain level of service and communication you provide to customers when things like this happen. I waited hours at the salon just to be told I have to come back, the stylist gave me an attitude about the rescheduling as though it was my fault the water was off and was annoyed with my frustration even though I said I had an event where I desperately needed an appointment (why are you not proactively rescheduling the clients right in front of you waiting, instead they were rescheduling people that weren't even there). I was given a $16 dollar discount for over $400 worth of services... you read that right. $16 dollar discount for having to miss work and be rebooked for an entirely different day. To top it off, when I arrived the next day, the stylist was not there and she had a shampoo and braid assistant do the coloring. Why is someone who is not certified in coloring doing the coloring without assistance from the lead stylist? As a result she applied the color WRONG (didn't start from my ends AND I ended up with hot roots) and the color was entirely different from what I had requested. Mind you, the stylist had dyed my hair a similar color before with no issue, so how I left the chair with a completely different color makes no sense. The attitude was so bad all I wanted to do was get out of there. Now for the final straw. I had paid to have my bundles colored and installed for a wig. The stylist sat down with me and went over the dates, told me it should take no longer then a week since I was first in line and that if it took any longer I would be notified in ADVANCE. The evening before my appointment, I was told another stylist has the bundles and that the wig had not even been started. I was furious. The bundles had been with the salon for over week, no one notified me about any kind of delay, and once again I was not going to be serviced on the date of my appointment. I needed the wig by a certain date, so I gave up and went to pick up the bundles, turns out the bundles had been dyed, but there were jet black spots (looks like splattered hair dye) on several of the bundles. So for over $400 I did not receive a wig or my appointment, I received an entirely different hair color, I received bundles with speckled jet black hair dye on them, and I received attitude and a $16 discount. (Pictures attached) Do yourself a favor and just look somewhere else. read more

I should have read reviews more carefully. The owner Ngina takes pride in the salon and it's very pretty but that pride takes over when humility would better suit the situation. I've never written a bad review, but don't want anyone else to go through what I have. The first time I visited this salon, I got a silk press. i was advised by the stylist that it would last a week or two if I wrap it. The same evening, my natural hair was half straight, half fro. I had to wear a bun. Fail. $70 wasted. Stupidly, I went back a week later because my regular salon was closed and I was leaving for a beach trip w/family. I got a sew in and brought my own hair and closure. The stylist said I needed to choose between getting an elastic band or glue to secure it. I don't do glue. Throughout the sew down process, I was uncomfortable. I was working on my laptop and didn't watch her every move. I continued to tell her it hurt and she'd loosen a thread here and there. When she finished it looked nice. My head was extremely sore and my eyes were pulled tight. I tipped the stylist as I always do when I visit a salon thinking it would loosen. By the time I got home I was in a lot of pain. I hoped it would get better in a day or two and I left town. The pain worsened with each day. I was taking pain pills and I noticed scabs on my hairline under the weave by day 3. I called the salon from out of town and told them there was a problem with my sew in on their answering service. My vacation was not good because my head hurt so badly. I could barely sleep and had to prop my head on my hands. When I returned to DC, I practically ran back to get it taken out. It had only been in a week. More money wasted at this salon. We noticed there was still a deep dent in my hairline, after over a week, WTH. My edges were gone. I winced as it was taken out because it hurt so badly with each braid she took down. My scalp was hit. I was shocked to see how small the elastic band was that was used around my head. It was tiny and I do not have a small head. Sadly, there were more scabs and sores on my hairline and bald spots on my edges, in front and back. The stylist who had put it in seemed surprised and remorseful as she took it out and saw my hair and scalp condition and the pain I was in. I asked to speak to the owner by phone for a resolution because she wasn't there. I asked her for a refund and she said she doesn't do that because she'd already paid the stylist and incurred other business expenses and "there's a lot more that goes into it". Wouldn't even give me a partial refund. Huh??? She asked me to come in the next day so she could see my unwashed scalp. I was taken upstairs to the top floor where Ngina asked my braider a bunch of questions about that day in front of me and other patrons. She then examined my scalp, sores and bald spots and defended the stylist who installed it and said it may have been an allergic reaction to the Got2B gel they used. Not the case because I've used it before. Said nothing about the dents under the elastic band and sores around the braids. She asked me repeatedly if I burned myself with a flat iron. I told her repeatedly that I didn't have one on the trip with me and the scabs were UNDER the weave. She blamed my scalp and said I had "inflammation". I told her I didn't appreciate being blamed for the bad service and damage to my scalp that was not inflamed when I went in. After almost getting into a heated discussion in front of other customers, she said my hair and scalp were too damaged for another weave so she offered me a complimentary rod set, $65 value, to make up for me spending $352.00 for a horrible weave service (hair not included). The owner Ngina puts profit above customer service when there's an issue. She's comes off as beyond prideful but maintained a professional tone throughout. She talked up her expertise in hair care and hair loss solutions while placing responsibility firmly away from the salon and onto me for not asking to have it taken down while it was happening. She dismissed my pain and said another person with more pain tolerance may not have needed to take pain medicine for what my scalp went through. Look at the pictures. She offered to let me come back and sit under her laser hair growth dryer thing a few times to help grow back my edges. Just an up-sell because it takes much more than a few sessions to see a result. I never went back. If you try them or another new salon, use Amex. I disputed the transaction with Discover Card, and Ngina refused to refund them as well. Discover eventually refunded my $352.00 after I sent them the pictures of the damage and my texts to Ngina after the service. Thankfully, my edges have been restored and my scalp is healed after several months. I used Crisan oil and Crisan hair vitamins and they work. If you're looking for a salon, go to black-owner Rachel Joyce Organic salon in Columbia Heights. read more

So I got my haircut here on Tuesday. I have to sit with a haircut for a while to see how I feel about it and, honestly, I love it!! Three days in, on a windy day, all the gel has failed and each curl has gone where it will and this cut is the BOMB! The salon bills itself as a DevaCuts Salon and uses all of their products, but because I frequently straighten my 3c/4a curls, I didn't want a pure DevaCut. I did a quick consult with Octavia and she recommended a deep conditioner and transformation. She cut my hair blown out and it lays absolutely perfectly curly. She found my shape effortlessly and is truly skilled. I mean, I was shocked and a little worried because she finished SO quickly (I legit thought there was a patch in the back of my head or something)!!! But she knew I made a lunch appointment and she is efficient in a way that those of us who grew up on black salons will appreciate with a reverence borne of unfamiliarity lol. This is my happy place! The location isn't hard to get to, it's between two metros and very close to Howard's campus and a short Uber or bus on Georgia from downtown or NW. The owner has done amazing things with the place, it's a true oasis. There's a "headphone" policy to prevent the salon from getting obnoxiously loud and they clearly don't allow double booking. The shop is beautifully appointed, even though it's quite small. The space is extremely well laid out and the owner has taken extreme care with the decor and the training of staff. I was PROMPTLY and professionally greeted by the receptionist who took my coat and hung it up and informed of the headphone policy for phones--which offended me tbh, but only because I am not a barbarian . My stylist arrived for my cut on time and took me back less than 2 minutes after my appointment time. My appointment was at 1:00 and I walked out of the salon at 2:07. I never felt rushed. She washed my hair personally. I was shampooed 3 times and deep conditioned. She also spent a good deal of time on my consultation. She discussed how much hair to take off during the consult--for those of us who have had an unnecessary and unplanned haircut when we wanted a trim this was MUCH appreciated! Octavia is talented and efficient and I'm sure that she's equally amazing with Deva Cuts, but the way this looks, I may never need one again! The cut wasn't horribly pricey either, the price is in line with what I'd expect to pay in the area and overall I am very impressed with Octavia, the shop, and especially my haircut; which, to be fair, looks like every length retention cut I've had in a decade but that's on me not her lol. read more

I visited Studio Chique during a silk press training session. Overall my stylist was attentive and eager to perfect her silk press technique. I highly recommend the well adorned salon, and look forward to trying out more services such as the Japanese head spa. Definitely check this salon out, you won't be sorry! Also kudos to the owner, this salon is a gem! read more

So this happened yesterday. I came in for a 60 min. Swedish Massage with Marsha. She was amazing! Attentive, a great listener and communicator, working out tough tension spots in a way I didn't even know was possible! My massage was amazing. Great pressure, great technique, hot towels and some kind of scrub that made me feel like I was on a beach walking in the sand. I didn't realize how tight my body was until the session was over. I felt so much relief afterwards. I would recommend anyone to give it a try. I wish I could come every week. The facility is clean, beautifully decorated, relaxing and tranquil. I just may have found my new go to spot for a massage. But don't get it twisted. They offer a variety of other SELF CARE services.

The IG page is amazing but my experience wasn't that great. Person blow drying my hair didn't know what product to use to prevent frizziness and when she reached out to the stylist, the response was they were out of whatever product that should be used on my hair. Fast forward, I was satisfied with my shampoo and trim but I wanted my hair curled, and when looking in the mirror, looked great. However, later when I ran my hands through it I realized the stylist used spritz (or something similar) I guess to "hold the curls". My hair was sticky and stiff. I'm not sure if the stylist wasn't used to my hair texture or what. I wish they would start tagging the stylist's work on their IG page so ppl could book with a little more confidence. They're worth a second try just not with the same stylist. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! First salon that Treated my thick hair with love and care! Highly Recommend.

This is a very nice salon but has its pros and cons. I have been here several times. Two for hair and once's for a spa day (waxing, eyebrows, massage). Pros: -The salon is nice. It stays clean and has plenty of space - Ngina did my hair and she is amazing. She is a good colorist and like the cut - The other services I had were good I felt relaxed Cons: - Nobody wants to stay in a hair salon for 5 hours. My appointment was at 930 they started at 950a and I was there long enough to see her do a couple peoples hair at the same time. I wanted to leave with it dry but opted for the wash and go (naturally curly hair) because I was so hungry and didn't leave until almost 230p - The price. I used to get my hair cut and colored at my prior salon in dc and out of prior places I've been I've never paid so much, not even close. I wanted to try this location because it was closer when I moved to another area in dc. In the end you will gets a good product but the wait and price were cons for me read more

This was my first time visiting this salon. They are very popular on IG and I had two friends visit in the past week so I gave them a shot. I saw Clara who was very nice. I appreciated her detangling my hair carefully while in the bowl and during my conditioning treatment. I also hadn't had my ends clipped in God knows when so she took care of me while still maintaining my length. She recommended a biotin regimen a client of hers uses that she saw results from. I can't wait to go back as I've never been to a salon that treated Black women's hair so delicately. A woman across from me with thicker and longer curls was getting her hair detangled and it made me even more appreciative. The only recommendation is that we weren't socially distanced but it's not a huge salon. I wasn't uncomfortable, everyone wore masks and it wasn't crowded the day I went (New Years). Highly recommend for natural girls. read more

Second visit today and I can say I've found a new home for my hair care. My first stylist was Aloni about 6 months ago and today Clara took care of me; I visited both times for a perm and trim/styling and left quite satisfied. When they said it's a full service salon, no lies were told. Covid precautions are followed and both my visits were efficient- all stylists work together to get you in and out there quickly enough and you don't sit around waiting. Service is above average, with very good products. You can't eat or drink or use your phone on loud, which is all understandable. read more

Found this shop via TikTok and Sabrina took such good care of me ! She was gentle with my hair and very kind! I will be back!

I moved to D.C. three years ago, and Studio Chique has been with me since day one! I initially went to SC for a waxing, which was incredible. On my way out I saw the owner styling a client, and I knew that I needed to come back for a hair-related service. As a 100% natural 3C, I recognized immediately that Ngina knew what she was doing and that she truly understood curly hair. I now get all of my color, cuts, and styling done here. I hate to brag, but people stop me in the STREETS to ask me where I get my color done/ how I maintain my hair. Every time I go to SC, the Staff gives me recommendations re what products or treatments to use, and explains what my hair strengths and weaknesses are. Beyond this, the staff is extremely mindful of timing, appointments, and efficiency -- even if you are getting a complex service like a sew in. For the first time ever, I feel like I can voice my styling preferences or ask questions mid-service. The staff is extremely respectful, and I have witnessed firsthand how they respect client's wishes at all times, even when dealing with a difficult customer. I accredit the excellence of this salon to the owner, Ngina. She is an absolute joy to be around; she will have you laughing, thinking, crying, and repenting-- all while the curlers are setting. This is a true barbershop experience, and I value this just as much as the exceptional service. I am also amazed at the diverse clientele. This salon somehow manages to be first and foremost dedicated to black hair care, but still manages to accommodate every type of person's needs on the regular. I think it speaks to the reputation of their work. This wouldn't be a complete review if I didn't give Octavia a plug! Based solely on my watching her work while getting my hair pressed by Ngina, I knew Octavia's extension services were on par, if not superior, to any renowned salon in Atlanta. I have recommended dozens of friends to use her, and all of them have gone (all it took was a simple glance at her Instagram to know that I was not playin)! Octavia also does one of the best silk presses ever. I use Octavia and Ngina interchangeably, depending on their availability. I trust these people with my hair! I have never had a bad experience. My only complaint is that they don't have a braiding specialist, but I have a feeling that as this DC empire expands, that'll change!! read more

I've always had a good experience. Nice staff and I loved the cut! I did a precision cut for curly hair.

It has taken me almost six months to write this review because I've been so absolutely heart broken. If you have natural hair, DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD VISIT THIS SALON. (The owner will write a response to all negative reviews that shares why they are not responsible and how the damage is the clients fault.) After over three years of being natural, I have gotten my hair straightened on several occasions by a professional stylist who specializes in doing natural hair in Georgia. There have never been any issues, my hair has always been shinny and returned to its curly state after it's washed. I went to studio Chique to get a silk press for my graduation and when I went to wash it a week later, not a single one of my curls returned. When they blowdryed my hair, the salon was smoking. They put so much heat that even when she straightened it it laid so flat. There is absolutely no need for that much heat in any scenario. When I called the salon and informed them about the heat damage, they told me to come in to see what occurred. When I went back, Ngina told me that the salon did not cause heat damage and I shouldn't have gotten my hair straightened in the first place because it lacked moisture due to "sandy blonde hair being too brittle." From the other reviews where former clients have complained of heat damage, all Ngina does is lies in the comments and places blame back on the client. She takes no responsibility and insults you instead of apologizing for overuse of heat. If you have natural hair, please for the love of Jesus Christ do not visit this completely unprofessional salon. After several hydration treatments, I've still had to cut off a lot of my hair despite three years of hard work in being natural. The owner can make whatever comment she wants in response to my post, but I'm sharing pictures because pictures don't lie. My hair is ruined because of studio Chique and I will most likely have to cut off all of my hair because it is now two completely different textures. This place is Hell on earth for those who care about the health of their hair. DO NOT PAY TO HAVE YOUR HAIR RUINED. read more

I ended up leaving without my hair being styled because they were running so far behind. I left work early to arrive on time to my appointment, but my stylist was double - honestly more like triple - booked. I know back in the old days, 3+ hours in the salon for a press was typical, but in the present, I'm used to having a natural hair service completed in two hours or less. In this case, the only thing accomplished in two hours was the shampoo, with probably another hour to go before my stylist would be ready for me. I decided to pay the $45 for the shampoo/blow dry and leave. The receptionist was apologetic, explaining that there had been an earlier complication that led to them running behind. I would have been totally understanding had someone communicated to that to me early on, but no one said a word. My stylist gave me a few glances and referenced me in conversation but never spoke to me. The energy was off - she honestly seemed frustrated and tired. As a first time client, I don't want someone working with my hair under those circumstances. I have seen how responsive the owner is to these reviews, so I'm sure there is a rebuttal on the way, but there is nothing to refute here: I was punctual, respectful, and paid in full...but the customer service just wasn't serving. read more

I got a traditional sew in on Friday. first, the install took about 5/5.5 hours but the website says it should take 2.5-4 hours. I think they were down a stylist so I got have my head down, go wait so the stylist could finish another client, then finished me. I didn't mind but hopefully the salon could notify clients that services may take longer than expected. By this monday, I had to take it out. There was so much tension on my scalp, it started blistering (posted a photo -- little blurry). I've had sew in/extensions done in the past, and I never had such pain that I needed to take out the style 3 days later. I believe that a knowledgeable stylist would not have made such a rookie mistake. However, the styling part of the install was great and the curls lasted three days so I was really upset I had to take it out. I've gotten silk presses done at the salon many times and they always turned out flawless and would highly recommend going there for that. For traditional sew ins, I would find another stylist. read more

Studio Chique - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would I've never written a review before, but I feel inclined to after my experience with Studio Chique. I booked an appointment for a full head of highlights (on January 24th) for an appointment on February 12th. I booked the appointment specifically for this day because I had an event the next day and wanted my hair done for it. When I booked the appointment, no where did it say that I needed to book additional services on top of this service if I wanted to leave with my hair dry. Nor did I receive a call after booking saying that I needed to book an additional service in order to not leave with wet hair. I thought they taught me how to read critically in law school, but perhaps not. This morning (February 10th) I received a text message (see in images) that was extremely unprofessional and upsetting. I was told today, two days before my appointment, that I did not book a "finishing style" and would have to leave the salon with my hair wet if I wanted to come get my hair done still. That is beyond crazy. Who in the world wants to leave the salon with their hair wet?? That was already an outrageous thing to say to someone, but it only got worse when the salon called me. When I spoke to the receptionist (Mia?) on the phone, she told me that I had no other options because every single stylist was booked. So there was no way for me to get my hair pressed or dried. She later told me that they could maybe "sit me under the dryer". My problem is that if this is the way the salon operates (where you need to book a finishing style as well), why is it not written anywhere on the booking page. Also, why did the salon wait until TWO DAYS before my appointment to tell me this. They could have called me after I booked in January or at least a week before so that I could at least add on the additional service. Y'all please do not go here. I wish I would have read the other reviews because they are not lying- these people here are rude, have an attitude and are unprofessional. I have never in my life seen a salon operate like this. Its g-h-e-t-t-o!! read more

Yesterday I called last minute to see if they had an open appointment for same day, and they did! I've visited this salon before 3 yrs ago and remembered it being a good experience so I tried again seeing how I was in town. Let me say my hair is the smoothest it's EVER been after getting it pressed. After coming out of the dryer for the deep conditioning I noticed my natural curls were sooooo soft. The shampooist (not sure if that's the right term) was amazing. She did so well I had my eyes closed most of the time. The lady that did my blow dry and flat iron was so professional and asked several times if I was ok, what I was doing previously to my hair and complemented my hair. Unfortunately I didn't catch names to relaxed by the experience. If you want quick professional service come here. read more

Update. I've been going here since I moved to the DMV in 2019 and I still love it. This is the only place I get my hair done. I have super sensitive, natural curls that Aloni has not only nurtured, but also taught me how to take better care of. My hair has grown back with a vengeance thanks to her and the whole team. The shampoo girls are polite, the atmosphere is inviting and they even have tea/wine available. I highly recommend! Here's my hair August '19 v recently. read more

See all

I found this salon on IG and was impressed with the beautiful color services. I'm a curly girl who wants color but also wants to maintain the integrity of my curls, so I decided to visit this salon for a consultation prior to booking. The consultation was really not a consultation. I arrived to the salon and there was no receptionist so I just sat and waited for someone to assist me. About 15 minutes later I decided to call the salon and let them know I was there in the waiting area awaiting my consultation. Finally, the receptionist came to greet me and told me a stylist would be with me in a moment. The salon is super small, so I heard the receptionist asking around to the stylist who wanted to take me? I heard the stylist basically saying no one felt like dealing with me. Then, after a back in forth dialog between a receptionist and a stylist, someone agreed to see me. The receptionist came and got me and walked me to the stylist. The stylist was styling a client and really did not provide a proper consult. She barely looked at my hair. Never once touched it! We had about a 5 minute exchange and she told me what to book if I decided to have the service done with her. The experience was off putting, but I decided to contact the owner and see if I could possibly get a consultation with her, before writing the salon off. I contacted the owner via IG. She was very nice and responsive. I was able to book an appointment with her because she had a cancellation. I was so excited. I arrived at my appointment and it was basically the same energy. A lack of customer service. I sat for awhile and after about 15 minutes, I followed the same process of contacting the salon via phone and letting them know that I was here sitting and waiting. Finally, the receptionist came and she looked perplexed as to why I was there. She questioned me about my arrival time -the stylist asked me to delay my appointment by 30 minutes but obviously did not inform the receptionist. After we addressed that issue, she walked me upstairs to be serviced. When I arrived upstairs the owner was working with another client. I had my consult in front of another client again, not sure how I felt about that. We decided I would not get color, but would get a protein treatment to prep for color. The assistant didn't seem like she was really experienced with working with my hair type. I came detangled but she tried to further detangle my long, thick, 4b/c hair with a rat tail comb. Curly girls know that's a no no. Then the products used left my hair feeling super dry. I assumed that was the protein, but I also assumed I would be followed up with a deep condition that would balance me out. After the shampoo, the stylist asked me did I want to do a wash n go. Against my better judgement, I said yes. Something told me to just get the treatment and leave but I also wanted to get my hair done. My whole point of being there was to try and find a permanent stylist so I decided to give her a try. Well the wash n go was an epic fail. Her products or method she used didn't work for my curl type. But not to say it wouldn't work for someone else. Anyway, I left the salon looking like a hotter mess than when I came in. But I was appreciative that the salon owner did not allow me to go through with coloring and that she offered a service to prepare my hair for coloring. I also appreciated that she tried to accommodate me. I don't feel this salon was a good fit for me, and honestly not for curly girls based off my experience and the numerous reviews I read. But if you're not tripping off maintaining your curl pattern, this may be a fit for you. I wish you and the salon the best and hope this review helps!! read more

Today is my birthday. I never go to the salon to get my hair done but I thought I should treat myself this once. I had an appointment for a silk press at 10am. First of all, I had to wait over 30 minutes before I was sat in the washing chair. Then, as soon as I sit down in the chair one of the stylists YELLING across the shop basically complaining about how much hair I have and how it's going to take a long time to do my hair. Granted, I do have mid-back length natural hair, but it was the most unprofessional thing ever to have to wait over 30minutes and then as soon as I sit down all I hear are complaints about how I have too much hair. How do you call yourselves a natural hair salon and you complain when clients have lengthy natural hair?! It was disgusting. I was so uncomfortable, and then on top of that I am supposed to let you do my hair and pay you for the service?! NO. I did not even want to be there anymore so I just walked out before the lady even started washing my hair. It was the most RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL experience I have EVER had and I will never go back here again!! If you have short hair then maybe it's the salon for you but if you have a decent length of natural hair prepare for the complaints!!! IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. SO DISAPPOINTED AND SO UPSET THAT I CHOSE TO GO TO THIS SALON TO TREAT MYSELF FOR MY BIRTHDAY. read more
