I booked a silk press for $120, and an additional $50 was added afterward for a simple dusting that wasn't discussed beforehand. A dusting is not a full cut, and I wasn't looking for a cheaper service , I just wanted the pricing to make sense. Especially because I've previously gotten a full cut and styled here for the same total cost, which makes the pricing feel inconsistent.
For the price, I expected basic finishing steps to help the style last. This was the dead of summer, extremely humid, and my natural hair is curly. Not suggesting a pin‑curl, wrap, or even a few pins before leaving felt surprising. My hair didn't look finished in the chair ,it was bumped under in a way that didn't flatter me and within an hour of leaving, it reverted completely.
What stood out most is that I've received better care from basement salons for less. Other stylists have taken the time to recommend products, protect the style before I leave, and make sure the final look is polished. Crazy part is ive overheard them suggest products to clients that are getting natural cuts but with my hair being pressed in the summer , no suggestions? Overall, it gave chain‑salon service with luxe‑salon prices.
Here, the service felt rushed, like the priority was getting the next client in the chair rather than making sure my style would last.
Unfortunately, I won't be booking again read more
