    Her response after sending this picture of my dead ends
    Nisha P.

    Terrible customer service. I had to cut offf 4 inches of dead dried ends. They said the hair looks perfectly fine n refused even a partial refund. In addition they didn't send some products I ordered they ignore you once they disagree with your statement. The curl pattern disappeared. Brazil's body wave my butt

    My experience was amazing I was here for god knows how long and Oneka gave me the best experience ever with purchasing my Indian hair. She was the most knowledgeable person I ever met in a hair store. Most people give u half ass advice she even recommended me to a great stylist. The hair quality is the best hands down!

    The customer service here was definitely off the chain. As soon as i walked in , I was greeted and asked if I needed help. I was unsure about what i wanted to get and the staff made me feel comfortable. Im about to SLAY in my new Vanity Box Hair. I will definitely be coming back!!!!!!!

    I have been a customer with the vanity box for three and a half years now I am pleased with their customer service at all times. I love the quality of their hair minimal shedding plus it lifts beautifully when bleaching and still has GREAT luster !! You cant go wrong and its worth the investment. The Peruvian bundles is my go to aka my holy grail! And i adore the Brazilian bundles as well. Also I would like to add I have became a fan of the 1B / 613 or just 613 hair itself I would like for them to have a permanently IN -STOCK. Of that color hair in the near future , cuz I will be buying plenty of it!!! But Definitely try out The bundle deals, they are amaaaazinggg & very very affordable !

    This is my go to spot when I don't want to wait long for an online delivery. I've been using them off and on for the past three years and have never had an issue. The hair is always full and the I've never had any major tangling. My recommendation is to SEAL YOUR WEFTS!!!! Seriously! Otherwise you will have a good amount of shedding. After I started sealing I have absolutely no complaints. Keep in mind there is a slight smell to the hair when you purchase but not an ammonia smell like some people claim. Just co wash it before installing and you'll find the smell is gone and the hair is even softer. I just received their new texture Indiana natural wavy. I ordered Wednesday and it Arrived Saturday morning. After I co washed the waves came right back and the hair is soft like butter. No complaints here!!

    This is the hair straightened

    I purchased the brazilian wavy bundle deal with a closure for my high school prom back in May. When I went in the store telling them what texture and curl pattern I was looking for they were quick to help. The hair was beautiful in the store and remained that way until I installed it. For prom I wore my hair straight and when I washed my hair the next week all the waves were gone, the hair was practically straight. I tried everything to get the curls back but nothing. Besides this though I enjoyed the hair. This is my second install and the hair is still beautiful and bouncy with minimal shedding. I recommend this hair for those looking for a straight look but if you want curly hair The Vanity Box is not the place to go.

I usually go to agatha so ever since my sister and mom have gone to har as well, several times now. But yesterday she seemed to be in a rush. My sister's hair was not cut evenly. The back had a longer piece in the middle hanging out. The layers were not proportional at all. Her right side layers were all choppy and her left side were ok but not as noticeable. This isn't the first time she has cut my sister's hair and she has done a good job previous times. I don't know what happened. For my mom she didn't even want to wash her hair. She wet it with a spray bottle and got to work. I haven't had time to check if it's cut evenly but I will do that tonight after work. I'm sorry but I don't think it's worth $45 anymore. It's a good price but for a not so good job no thank you. Also let me mention the last time I cut my hair I had to go back because I wasn't happy with the cut. My hair just looked so much more puffy. So we had to do some adjustments and do thin sheer cutting to lessen the bulky look. I don't feel like I should have been charged $25 which I was told was the price for just blow dry but when I've done cut and blow before and I've laid $60 even. So I was overcharged for coming back to fix a haircut . I tired to upload a video but it doesn't let me so here are some screenshots .

    This review is long over due, but you know how life gets in the way sometimes. I have been wearing…read morehair extensions of all types for many years because my hair is very fine. A few years ago I decided to try the #1 hair extension brand, Great Lengths due to the wonderful reputation. The stars aligned in my favor when I met Seiji. Great Lengths is truly the best hair extension I have ever had, but this doesn't matter if the stylist installing them is not skilled. Seiji is the most skilled, professional and kind human. He listens to everything you say and instantly makes you feel so comfortable. Seiji executes every detail from the colors of the hair to blending them so perfectly, the hair looks like it's growing from your scalp. Like I said, I have very fine hair and I have changed my color often. He always matches it perfectly. I have decided to stop coloring and grow out my natural grey. Of course he was able to match that color as well. I can't begin to tell you how much I love my hair. I get endless compliments and I feel incomplete without my crowning glory!! I wouldn't trust anyone else other than Seiji because he is a perfectionist. This is a trait that is hard to come by these days. If you are looking for a stylist who takes deep pride in his work, Seiji is your person.

    Seiji is THE #1 hair extension specialist in NYC. I found Seiji 4 years ago and am FINALLY writing…read moremy review. After a year or so of searching for an extensions specialist, I stumbled upon Seiji & never looked back. Let me explain ~ the 1st person I went to was not good at installing. Seiji is AMAZING at installing the keratin tip bonds, and EVEN BETTER at removing them. The only reason my hair has grown, WITH extensions is because Seiji keeps the integrity of my hair in tact. He does not pull or battle with your hair. He works WITH it! I choose to go with the brand, Great Lengths, because I've gone to great lengths to find this real human hair! Seiji orders it for me ahead of time after I pay my deposit and pay for the hair to be ordered. Although, both Seiji and the hair comes out to be more expensive than other brands, stylists etc. there is no question in my mind that Seiji is THE EXPERT and THE BEST in the industry. He has decades of experience and I trust him to do the best job. On top of that Seiji has worked with top models and fashion brands globally, as I've seen on his website. He is not only a hair specialist but has become a friend and confidant over time. He takes his time and i walk out of the salon feeling like a million bucks! But really, more like a billion! I am always shocked to see the results and my confidence skyrockets. They say money can't buy happiness, but if there's one thing that makes me happy, it would be my extensions, so I'd have to argue with that statement haha. I'm not someone who buys a ton of things, but I do love my hair. After years of bleaching I noticed how short it had gotten. For the last 5 years I've used extensions to keep going blonde & they've done wonders for my self esteem. The upkeep of my hair may be costly, but it's worth it for me. My hair is thin so Keratin hair by Great Lengths is my go to. You can not see that I have extensions in my day to day life. I wash my hair regularly as I work out often. These extensions are seamless and easy for me to have, as I don't even think about their "maintenance." I simply use the extensions brush to make sure they don't matte and voila! I am truly so thankful to have found Seiji and Great Lengths. I would recommend to anyone looking for an expert in the field. Thank you for your incredible work and the time you've taken to make me feel beautiful! I appreciate having Seiji in NYC & I hope you do when you check him out too!

I booked a session with Harix bc of online reviews about his specialty with curly hair. When I sat down in the chair I explained what I wanted - a bit of clean up, styling to make my hair more office friendly BUT most importantly to have a style that I comb back while preserving as much length as possible with the intent of growing it longer still. The cut itself couldn't have been more than 15 minutes of rough chops. When he moved to washing my hair I assumed there would be a more detailed clean up after the wash but instead we talked about products. He then said in terms of styling that instead of combing back he was going to show me something different. He set it (I couldn't see bc there was no mirror near the sink) and placed me under a hair dryer station. 15 minutes later he brings me back to the seat and I am (in a word) horrified. Instead of combing back, he has given me a mess of curls/broccoli head with hair going in every direction. Honestly I haven't had a cut that bad since my early teens at the barber shops in the Bronx where there was a significant language barrier. I booked a late appointment and didn't want to lose more hair by asking him to clean it up so I bit the bullet and left. For $200+ I feel like my wants should not be overridden by whatever the stylist thinks looks better, especially when its the exact opposite of what I requested, especially especially without letting me know thats his intention, esp. esp. esp without showing me in a mirror before letting the product set. Also, there was no clean up of the back of my neck, the sides, or my beard. I really felt dissappointed by the whole experience. I've gotten much better service and attention to detail in much cheaper barber shops.

The salon itself is very clean, bright, and cute. There's typically non-offensive music playing, and if the staff is doing a coffee run, they'll likely ask you if you want anything as well. Everyone has a great attitude and is so friendly. As for Keiani, I simply adore her. She's down to earth, kind, and knows what she's doing. She listens to what I want and executes masterfully. She's literally my favorite stylist ever, so much so that even when I move to Manhattan next month, I'm still going to take two trains to see her. I've been going to Hour Rose for two years now, and I'd recommend it to anyone. No stresses for these tresses!

    After having two successful curl specialty cuts at Hour Rose, I booked a third one. Throughout the…read morecut there were several indications that the woman cutting my hair was not a curl specialist (didn't appear to be looking for a curl pattern, whacked off 4 inches of my curls when I had requested 2 inches). She also ignored the images I provided, which showed essentially a blunt cut french style bob. Instead she gave me layers upon layers around the back and sides when I had said I didn't want layers. When it came time to blow dry my hair, she again failed to establish my curl pattern before diffusing. When I called later to express concern, the woman who answered the phone apologized, said that they were short staffed, and had recently lost some of their curl specialists. She admitted the woman who cut my hair was in fact not one. Later, when I talked to the owner for a refund, she denied my experience, implied I was trying to make a personal attack on the stylist's character or skill level, and went so far as to say something along the lines of "well you're not a curl specialist so you are not in the position to speak to whether or not someone else is" (as if I need to be a chef to know when my burger is burned to a crisp). She spent a solid 20 minutes gaslighting me, called me "immature", tried to reframe the situation as somehow an attitude problem on my part, then finally saw the pictures and admitted there was an issue and refunded me. Even though she eventually resolved the issue, her lack of professionalism, projection, defensiveness, and the general experience of making me a sounding board for her own ethical dilemma with her stylist was enough that I would never go back again. My hair is so short and layered that it will take half a year for it to even look remotely close to something manageable or fixable with another cut (two months later and its still not long enough for me to put up in a bun). I'm not even someone who's that preoccupied with customer service (have never even felt compelled to leave a review of anything), but because of the way the owner spoke to me, I will never be back. UPDATE: owner responded to this post, lied and continued to gaslight. she said my appointment was four months ago when it was in may, and said i mischaracterized the stylist, when in fact my concern was the way she (Erin the owner) handled the situation. Erin says i was rude to the staff, but the staff was great and acknowledged the situation right away. it was when i reached out to Erin for a refund that things took a turn. no accountability and total projection. she clearly didn't even read my review, because the reason I'm not returning is her, not the stylist who misunderstood my request, and as the other members of staff had told me, is not a curl specialist and shouldn't have been put in that position by the owner to begin with. Erin says I was "rude to the entire staff to the point she needed to step in" when she wasn't even present at my haircut. Again, she needs to characterize me as rude and out of control instead of just taking responsibility for bad service. Also refers to her stylist, who is a grown middle aged woman, as "the sweetest girl in the world." Truly deranged.
