Ms. Robin and Shell did a phenomenal job shaping and treating my fine low density natural hair. I received an amino acid treatment and nice balancing cut that gave a lovely illusion of fullness. I left the shop feeling like I've finally found the one thats going to get my natural hair right. 10/10. If you can't get the shop call her cell.

You will be entertained and blessed here. You'll see why. The amino acid treatments are to die for because it makes the hair grow and manageable for weeks.

I went for a wash, cut and style. Nashelle did my service, she is amazing! I been having problems with dry scalp, my hair is waist length and has been breaking off. Nashelle did a full assessment of my scalp and head, and she told me where the breakage was, and told me what I should use to get my scalp healed. She came up with a treatment plan fix it. After two weeks I see a huge difference even the breakage is less. She knows what she’s talking about, knows how to care for a variety of hair types and can figure out how to fix your hair issues. The salon itself is super chill, it’s open and laid back vibe, I really relax when I go. Prices are very very good for the quality of care. My new salon :)
