3 STARS: First and foremost I am not dismissing Stacey B's talent. She's amazing. I love to give credit where credit is due so that's the 3 stars. 2 STAR: On Sunday, 09/18/22, I received a message reminding me of my hair appt for tomorrow, 09/19/22 at 10:30 AM. It appears automated. On Monday, 09/19/22, I was stuck in traffic in an Uber and I texted her and informed her that I apologize that I will be 10 mins late as I am in traffic. She called me back stating that she did not know that I had an appointment today and she is now in New Jersey with her kids. I completely understood and inquired if I could reschedule which hours later she confirmed that I can meet with her on Wednesday at 6 PM. I unfortunately still had to pay the Uber, fine. On Wednesday, 09/21/22, I texted in the morning stating apologies that I cannot come in and asked if she had any availability either on Sunday or Monday. [I could not come in because I was feeling unwell and was just in the ER recently (I didn't text her this)] - No Response On Thursday, 09/22/22, I texted a follow-up inquiry - No Response. Typical me I start to worry so I think just wait because maybe there is an issue. On Saturday, 09/27/22, I sent a DM on Instagram thinking maybe her phone is not working - Message seen; no response. I felt like I chasing after her. It is definitely hard finding a Black hairstylist and then all of a sudden they drop you like you did something and you're chasing after them. Now I am taking out my own hair because it is overdue and I accidentally cut my own hair because I am still unwell. I honestly hope all is well but a response would have sufficed and this was uncalled for.

I was in desperate need of a hair stylist. I had been going to DC to my old stylist since I moved back to Brooklyn (I know, it sounds crazy when you say it out loud) and I knew I needed to find someone local. When I went to make an appointment with my old stylist, she told me that she moved to Florida--well, I definitely needed a local stylist. I asked around but wasn't getting the best vibe, then I remembered my cousin was going to someone and other people I knew started going to this person. I asked for the details and decided to make an appointment with Olivia at Coco Salon. When I first walked in, I could observe how clean the salon was. Also, there was hand sanitizer to the left as you walk in. The stations give you more than enough space to practice social distancing. I really like the look of the salon. Also, the bathroom was very clean and serene. I love the way my hair came out, the color and the shape fits me perfectly. I'm glad my old stylist moved--I wouldn't have discovered Olivia--I wish I had known about her sooner but better late than never ;-)
