I tried uploading a video but had no success. I did not use any leave-ins, serums, nor did I blow dry or straighten my hair after washing or prior to taking this photo.

I'm always skeptical on going to a new place to get a hair cut, so you can imagine my expectations…read morewere low when I first arrived to this hair salon. I walked in on a Sunday morning and there were a bit of people waiting to get their hair cut. The wait wasn't long and the lady seemed to know what she was doing. I only asked for a trim because I've had bad experiences asking for anything else. The lady cut the exact amount of hair I had asked for and even gave me a few recommendations for my damaged hair. I was really impressed and now I will go back to cut 6 inches off. I'm confident in this girl's ability and will edit this with her name as soon as I go for my second haircut

Short Review: I went in for a haircut and IT'S A YES! GO!…read more I was feeling impulsive and really wanted a haircut. It was a Wednesday and a lot of salons were fully booked. A lot of salons were also charging $80-90 for a haircut. I found Beauty Haircuts on yelp and gave them a call. The lady I spoke to, told me I can come in after I was out of work (5:00 pm). I rushed over to Beauty Haircuts and got seated in a chair upon arrival. Forgive me, I don't remember the lady's name, who cut my hair. BUT SHE WAS AMAZING!!!!! She knew what she was doing, asked me questions, and gave me just what I wanted. I will be back for my next trim, with her!! I am so grateful and happy!

(I wanted a different type of wave) My braids took 4 hours. Which was great for me, I thought it would be longer. Her pricing is ok. I paid $150 for my crochet braids. I think because the braids were smaller than normal. I still have them in, I'll be coming back soon for my next style.

I originally went in for a different treatment, but the worker C recommended the QiQi treatment, something I had never heard of before. She told me it would be stronger and give me the straight, smooth results I wanted, so I trusted her recommendation. Unfortunately, I barely saw any difference in my hair. I also trusted them and bought the expensive shampoo they recommended, even though I had never heard of it before. In my experience, the quality was very disappointing, and I regret spending money on it too. They agreed to redo my treatment at no charge, and I gave them plenty of time and opportunities to fix the situation. I called, messaged, and followed up, but now I'm getting no response. I really did not want to leave a negative review, but after giving them so many chances to make things right and hearing nothing back, I feel completely comfortable sharing my experience. I truly regret spending all that money and getting almost nothing out of it.

I wanted to like this spot so bad but it was very underwhelming and the service for the application…read morewas terrible. I went for what I thought would be a simple root touch up. I did tell them I got my hair done overseas and didn't. know the color. They didn't inform me that my hair was too dark and it would not show on my roots. For the application, the stylist got color spots all over my face. It was probably one of the messiest applications I've ever experienced. Then, when I asked to be re-seen to get my hair done since it looked like nothing had been done to my roots, they tried to convince me that I NEEDED bleach to lighten my hair (which would've cost me additional hundreds of dollars). Mind you, I have a dark brown hair color. Some time has passed and I've consulted multiple hair stylists and they all confirmed I DO NOT need bleach to get my roots the same color. When I complained to the owner, she said I needed to wait for the sun to lighten my hair?? Which is completely absurd. 2 months later and to no shock, my roots aren't lighter. I unfortunately would not recommend or be returning.

Prior to my appointment, she worked with me via Yelp, text and phone call to verify the type of…read morestyle and hair that I was looking for. On service day, I arrived early, but to my great surprise she was already there! This is so rare for early morning hair appointments. More times than not, I am waiting for the stylist to show, and then she shows up late. One qualm, is that another client came in after me (getting services from another stylist) and since the other stylist was not there yet, she kept interrupting my stylist with a litany of questions. My stylist stopped working on my hair for about 10 minutes assisting this other client. Nonetheless, when the stylist did get started, she took very few; yet brief breaks to answer phone calls. I took two breaks to use the restroom and fyi, the restroom was spotless. What an added bonus! When all was done, I really like my hairstyle. Only negative is that the front edges were braided kind of tight, despite my request for them to not be braided tight or small. Most were not small, just 5 in the very front. The rest are spaced out. And the rest of my head was not braided super tight so not sure how/why just the front edges were. There was one that was unbearable on the front edge and she redid it for me. She (Chantal) was very pleasant to speak with, took most of the directions I gave her, checked in with me throughout the service and worked rather swiftly. The twists are a lot smaller than I envisioned, but when I compare it with the picture I showed her, it's comparable, so I accept fault on that. Also, I prefer kinky twists that are twisted from the roots, but she braided from the roots. Overall, I am satisfied with her work. P.S. Some braiders use gel or Vaseline when they braid you hair, she used hair grease (I think blue magic).

I have had my short braided twice prior to going to her and I had no problem with my braids falling out in the back. Although, I paid $300 for the small size, i realized that she gave me the $250 size braids (medium) from the back up and put the small ones in the front. I have only had my hair braided for a week and the braids started falling out and was loose throughout my head. I called her to let her know and she scheduled an appointment; then she text and said she had an emergency appt and asked to schedule the next day. I informed her that she put the wrong size braids and that's why they are falling from my hair. She states that she is only going to do the ones that has fallen out, however; they all are very lose and falling out except for the smaller ones in the top. I chose her because of her price when I comparing. I'm writing this review so that if you go to her, be sure that you are getting what you are paying for. Ask her to let you see the size or feel while she is braiding. I have wasted $320 tip included for nothing. I now have to take these out and get my hair redone in less than a month.

I wanted to just bring my highlights up and toner for the whole thing, but ended up with a full head lightening. I had like dirty blonde highlights. And I told her I do not like warm shades, but she insisted that that's what suits my skin. I lost all my dimension and the shade I loved, and ended up with platinum blonde and yellow roots. I really wanted to be okay, but then my trim, which I showed a picture for, ended up cutting off like all my hair when I explicitly asked for her to just take off the bulk at the back of my head where the disconnected grown out undercut is because it was getting super thick there. I asked for her to just freshen up the rest of my ends...she cut off like two inches of my short hair and now I have a pixie cut, which is not at all like the 90s curtain bangs crop I was growing out. It was the complete opposite. I have all these crazy, choppy layers in my hair and its super thin all over now. I had to go get toner done somewhere else to make the color not so terribly bright and hot near the roots still. I really don't like leaving bad reviews but I literally wanted to cry after I left because I came in asking for one thing and came out after hours later with the complete opposite of what I asked for. It's the liberty with the hair cut that really killed me. My hair is so short now that it has no flow, and I'm devastated.
