I came as a walk in and even though they were busy they still accommodated me. I would say to definitely book an appointment but Liyu took real good care of me. She gave me an amazing wash and the braid down was neat but also not too tight. When she was curling my hair, I mentioned I had no idea how to curl and she…

This hair salon completely ruined my hair. When I went in, I mentioned I had very thin hair and sensitive scalp. They didn’t really care and kept working on my hair. They saw how uncomfortable I was and they kept making comments about me in their language that were obviously rude and funny to them. I’m traumatized.…

DO NOT GO! I got a sew in when I attended in January. I was passed between at least 3 different hair stylist. And they kept leaving because their friend’s daughter came in and wanted her hair done. They completely abandoned me to do her hair. My sew in (which usually takes 3-4 hours) took 9 goddamn hours. This was…

Horrible experience! I called a day ahead to check the price for a sew in and it was $160 and $120 for a bundle with an estimated total of $400. So I bought the hair and went just for the sew in. Never in my life, have I been more disappointed with the outcome of a sew in in my entire life. I was literally not sure…
