    Black Salons are always Elite My hair has improved tremendously after self relaxing and I have Shanice to thank for that. I have a really sensitive scalp and I am proned to burn easily when I get relaxer touch ups. I left that salon in awe after Shanice was finished with me! The entire process was soothing and Shanice was very attentive and careful! Not only did I not feel any burning during--I also didn't have any scalp burns the day after!! I was literally shocked!! This entire staff is friendly and the vibes are always immaculate. Experience it for yourself

    PERMANENT DAMAGE that I have to wait years to grow out

    I should have written this review 10 months ago when I actually went to the salon so apologies that this is a delayed review. On Oct 14, 2014 (on my birthday), I went to this salon to get my hair straightened and add some beachy waves. I stopped by the salon a few days prior to consult about what I wanted and the price (I read the other review that said they were surprised about how much they were charged and I didn't want that to happen) and also wanted to make sure they understood what I wanted. I spoke to the owner who understood the simple style I wanted and she gave me a quote and told me who would be doing my hair when I came back (I believe my stylist's name was Anna). A bit about my hair: I've been natural for 8 years, but the past two years I have stopped straightening my hair in the winter. So I'm curly/natural for 95% of the year. I usually only straighten once or twice a year max now. So straightening my hair at this time for my birthday last year was like a treat for me. The day of the appointment, I was running late and they accommodated a change in my appointment time and everything. Salon was a little slow that day so I got almost full attention. Everything seemed to go pretty well the whole time until it was time to style. Now I was really excited about coming to this salon because I'd walked past it several times as I was always in the neighborhood and I had a friend who frequented the salon and had good things to say (note: she is not natural). So when the stylist began styling, she blew my hair out (heat contact #1), then flat ironed it (heat contact #2). She then proceeded to style (remember I wanted easy beach waves and had shown numerous pictures of what I thought was a simple style). She used a rod curling iron (heat contact #3) to make the curls. As she was doing them, it didn't look like what I wanted but I assumed there was something other step to style it that I didn't know of (like finger style, etc to get what I want). After she finishes styling my whole head, I look like Shirley Temple. NOTHING like what I asked for. So I tell her, this is completely not what I wanted. Showed the pics again and she was kinda confused at how to fix it. Now I'm annoyed because I went through all the right steps to ensure this did not happen (stopped in before my appointment to ensure they could do what I wanted and brought pictures). At that point, the owner tells the stylist, oh you did her curls wrong, you were supposed to do them like this (and demonstrates for her). Mind you, the owner was sitting there the whole time as the stylist did my hair and never told the stylist she was doing it wrong. I'm like if you saw her doing it wrong the whole time, why didn't you say something before she finished my whole head! They asked me if I wanted them to do it over, and although in my gut I was hesitant (because of all the heat), I also did NOT want to go out to my birthday party looking crazy. So she re-curled my whole head (heat contact #4). It came out better, but it still wasn't what I asked for. I was annoyed by the time I left because of the whole process and now I was late for my party. The price was decent because they had some weekday deals going on, but at this point it didn't matter because I was just completely annoyed, esp since I thought I was going to a place that was a leader in hair care. Fast forward 6 weeks, when I start wearing my hair natural (curly) again. I see that where my roots/new growth was is COMPLETELY STRAIGHT AND WON'T CURL AT ALL. My hair looked crazy! I was hoping it would revert back after while, but here we are 10 months later and it hasn't. (SEE PICS ATTACHED). She burned my hair so bad from all of that heat contact that where my roots where last Oct is a perpetually straight section now. It's not like I can cut that out bc it's at the roots and middle of my hair. Catastrophe! This is the worst issue I've ever had since being natural and I'm upset it happened at what was supposed to be an upscale salon. I was actually hoping that my appt went well because I was looking for a replacement salon to go to, but clearly I am never going back here. Moral of the story is, when you feel like something is not going right, speak up. Regardless tho, I would assume that this salon is not just about styling, but about health of your hair too and it would have been nice if when the issue happened someone told me well we don't recommend we keep putting heat on your hair to fix the problem so let's think of something else to do. They totally didn't. In addition to the fact that the owner watched her do my whole head wrong and didn't say anything until it was too late. They put so much heat on my hair it was insane. No one was concerned about the natural state of my hair. This salon is in the dead center of Ft. Greene, Brooklyn so I would assume 70% of the women who go there would be natural. I do not recommend this salon if you are natural!

    Love my cut.

    It was a bit of an emotional Rollercoaster, tears and smiles, fear and tears but in the end I am HAPPY. Amazing experience and world class cut by Kae. Thank You!!

    I found the stylist I used through TikTok and cross checking reviews. But what drew me to sign up…read morewas the fact her location was in an area that I frequent and wasn't as hard for me to reach. It is very close to the Borough Hall train station, close to Jay Street- Metrotech and various other buses and public forms of transport. In fact, I thought the salon was a general spa as opposed to a salon suite of different hairdressers and beauty services. I am used to this type of establishment because I had a hairstylist who worked in a similar space when I lived outside of NYC. There are various ways to enter. My hairstylist gave me a code to enter and you can either call for the stylist to get you up or you can get a QR code. The lobby to the salons are on the first floor while the actual booths are on the second floor. There are stairs and an elevator. There are multiple couches and comfy benches on the second floor so you can wait for your appointment. There are stations for coffee and tea that my stylist told me to take advantage of. There is artwork all over and the color scheme makes it not sterile but not too bright. There is a vending machine onsite but since the location is close to many eateries (chopt is next door) you don't have to worry about access. I had a great time with my stylist Lilian. She came on time. She asked me questions about my desires and goals and gave me recommendations that I can use in my free time. I look forward to using her services in the future.

    I got my haircut service at Oshuns Crowns at that location and it was a disaster. I paid for a…read morehaircut but instead my hair was chopped off and not styled.
