After my Deva Cut by Carmen
Alicia G.

I love love love love love Carmen! Did I already say I love Carmen??? Lol i walked in and immediately felt at home. She not only got to know my hair but she got to know me too. She took her time, asked what I was looking for then gave me her best advice. I went in wanting to chop all my hair off but came out loving the decision she made of cutting a lot off but keeping length. Instead of just chopping it all off she showed me ways of managing the straight ends that were still left (thanks to my dumb idea of a Keratin treatment). I left out of there looking amazing and beyond loving my curls!!! I honestly didn't know that they could look that awesome. Needless to say, I WILL BE BACK TO VELVET WAVES ;-)

Deva cut into a tapered fro by Carmen done July 2015. I'm in love!

I visited Velvet Waves last night for a cut and some TLC for my natural hair. I have to agree with all the previous reviews and add that I LOVE my hair!! Carmen is amazing at what she does. She really does take the time to love up on your strands. Lol What I loved most was her knowledge! She answered all my questions and I left feeling so informed about the health of my hair, what to do in between visits, and how certain lifestyle habits affect my hair. She is absolutely amazing. I've already recommended her to a coworker and I'll be back!

Carmen is awesome! It's almost like she read my mind as far as what I wanted. I have 3b/c hair and I was really looking for a cut that removed my straight pieces as well as gave my hair some shape...and I got exactly what I wanted! Carmen is very knowledgeable in the deva cut technique and how to care for curly hair. She really takes her time and I really liked that about coming. My hair looks amazing and I'm so glad I found her!

Wendy Kriz is who you want to go to if you're looking for someone talented, knowledgeable and…read moreprofessional. I truly hit the jackpot when I found Wendy 18 years ago and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She exceeds my expectations and the results are amazing. My hair is naturally black and I get red highlights. Wendy does my highlights without ever bleaching my hair! I also have frizzy hair that is very hard to manage, and getting the keratin treatment has made my life easier on a daily basis and my hair is extremely healthy. I get compliments all the time! She has a real skill and passion for making women feel beautiful and I leave the salon feeling gorgeous every single time. I have since moved to Virginia, but still travel 1.5 hours one way to her salon. You will absolutely love her and her work. You will be treated like a star! She is not just my stylist, but I have a friend for life.

I came here with terribly damaged and over bleached hair. Tiger stripes instead of natural looking…read morehair. The salon I went to was huge and lots of assistants had their hands on my head/applying chemicals etc. at this salon it is 2 sisters and they are METICULOUS. These girls understand the chemistry of hair color and the biology of good hair. Not to mention very artistic with color application. My last dye job was so bad the color was running in the bowl. These girls undid the damage so beautifully. Went layer by layer and adjusted the color as necessary. Got rid of the orange and put in a nice auburn. I'm not sure how to add before and after photos but they have them. These sisters know what they are doing and they have earned my business for life. PS Nina showed me how uneven my previous cut was, which I had not noticed before. Because the old stylist had flipped the ends when blow drying it, I could not really see the layers. Nina however, with a few snips gave me an incredible haircut. Small change just evened out one layer, which had just been cut at the old salon. but the whole head of hair lay much much better afterwards. Watching them work was impressive.

I had a great experience getting my haircut with Jaime! This was actually my first time at a hair…read moresalon, so I was already feeling pretty nervousespecially after running late. My appointment was at 10:00 AM, but due to traffic I didn't arrive until 10:25. I felt awful, but Jaime was incredibly kind and understanding, and still took me in right away without any frustration. Once in the chair, everything went smoothly. She gave me a relaxing wash and a quick but thorough cut that turned out just how I wanted. She even shared helpful tips on how to maintain the style at home. Despite my late arrival, I was out by 11:18. The whole experience was efficient, pleasant, and professional. I tipped her well and will definitely be coming back, next time on time!

I booked Alex for a cut and perm. The cut was great. Alex listened to my needs and he was open to…read morecommunicate in turns of aesthetics and stuff. I was surprised that my hair weren't shampooed at all during my service. I did a perm so he rinsed my hair a couple times.. but no shampoo before or after. The worst thing is their towel on the washing bed (the one that would contact with your neck). It smells (like dirty towels) and the location got contact with it felt itchy afterwards the smell from the dirty towel remains on my neck as well until I shower at home this should never happen at a four dollar sign salon. Besides that, the store was clean and quiet. My appointment was 1PM - 4 PM. Only two people were working at that time--the two owners. Tbh it was the first time I saw a hairdresser do everything himself--all the preparation, cut, perming, washing, etc. The limitation of staff resulted in lack of attentiveness. During the perm, the medicine touched my face, and overall the experience was not up to the standard. I really hope that they can improve because hair coco has lots of potentials.

They are both super nice and caring, and they take care of you to make sure you are comfortable. The salon is very spacious and bright so it doesn't feel crowded when they are working on several people at the same time. Ms. Sarah will work with you to make sure that you are satisfied with the results and works hard to create a hairdo that you like. It helps if you bring a picture so that she has a general idea of what you want. I think her rates are very reasonable too. Oak Tree has been in the community for a long time and from what I've observed, she has a lot of regular customers, which is not surprising at all. And I've become a regular too. I don't live nearby, but I will continue to come here for my hair. It can be hard to find a good stylist and once you find a place you like, you stick with them. If you are looking for a caring and capable stylist, give Oak Tree a try!

Once again, Amy made my day! I hadn't been to a salon in almost two years because life has been so…read morebusy, so I even started cutting my own hair. Thankfully my hair was long enough to learn through trial and error thank goodness for YouTube! Amy started by washing my hair, which was so relaxing. I showed her a haircut inspiration photo I found on Google, and she quickly assessed my hair and honestly explained how it would look if she copied it exactly. That level of professionalism really stood out. Her hands were so light and gentle, and I felt relaxed the whole time. She also shared helpful tips for styling my thinning hair. We had great conversation, she recommended lunch spots, and even offered coffee. Truly a 10-star experience. Thank you, Amy, for making me feel confident and refreshed again!

It takes a long time for me to find one who can actually achieve my desired outcome... and I think I found one stylist who actually exceeded my expectations. Amy takes a good look at your inspiration photo, and she would give you her professional opinion whether it suits your faceshape, and hair texture. She would tell you the possible outcome if she was to proceed with such style. Even if your face shape is not the same as the model in the photo, she would adjust the cut so that you could have the similar or better outcome that suits you. Sometimes when a different stylist cuts my hair short, it usually doesn't grow quite nicely. But when Amy cut my hair short (above shoulders) my hair grew beautifully even when it already passed my mid back. I just came back to her to get my hair colored. She trimmed my hair, got rid of the damage parts, gave me an awesome scalp massage and shared tips on how to style my thinning hair. She also shared some knowledge about hair care, and certain things to do specially for hair. The color was on point and evenly distributed. She also would check on my well-being and would ask if my scalp was feeling okay.. Now my thin hair somehow looks fuller and also looks healthier. She also gave me some cookies and prepared me some green tea. Amy is a rare talent indeed. Her years of experience & expertise clearly shows in her work. Great customer service with an amazing vibe. I think Amy has magic hands!
