I heard good things about this salon and decided to give it a try. Ruth did my sew in and it’s the BEST sew in I’ve had a long time. It’s flat and blends perfectly with my hair. I will definitely be coming back.

They did a fantastic job on my sew in! I was styled by Liyu who did my wash, blow dry, and braid down with great care and attention to details. The salon was also the most clean Ethiopian hair salon of the top 3 in the area. Will definitely be back when I’m in town for my next sew in or silk press!
