Renee is so sweet and knowledgeable. I live hours out of state and there are no black hairstylists that match my values where I live. I contacted her for a consultation and she went above and beyond. She has not only provided me with generous advice on how to get my hair right but also been honest and upfront with me about what’s not working for my hair. That is something that is rare these days. She is one of the few hairstylists that still care about the hair underneath the style. If you need a stylist that will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear, she’s your person!!!

I have 4c TIGHT natural hair and I have an EXTREMELY tender scalp. I walked in expecting the usual pain of detangling etc. Renee was so gentle I felt absolutely zero pain. I was shocked because I hadn’t even detangled from removing my braids. We did several processes - texturizer (after 11 years fully natural), color rinse, blow, flat iron, clip ins and curls. She was professional and knowledgeable. Renee did a PHENOMENAL job. Lastly, the salon is upscale and relaxing (they play fashion shows - an extra bonus if you love fashion.)

I brought my daughter to Renee for a cut because her hair was badly damaged from a prior salon. Not only was she patient with my daughter who is 6 years old, but my daughter left with her hair looking amazing. I had never realized how thick my daughter's hair until today Renee had her hair looking so shiny and healthy my daughter on our way out immediately requested only to have her hair done by her from now on. . Absolutely an amazing stylist who cares about the health of your hair

I had the pleasure of having Renee do my hair again after so many years of not being in her chair and she did not disappoint. She was on point and then some! Before I even got to her chair, Renee was understanding and supportive as I told her my natural hair woes. I also wanted one particular style which was not exactly gonna work this time, but Renee offered great alternatives when I thought all was lost.My hair was a tangled, very, very dry, shedding and more and Renee was very gentle with my natural hair and got it untangled, moisturized, and back in great shape. She suggested knotless braids as a style and I never once had felt any hard pulling,pressure, or anything bad like when unfortunately I get braids from the African sistahs. Renee installing braids in my hair was so amazing and painless!My hair looks great! I love it! Renee did my hair for years when I had a chemical relaxer and my hair was great then. Renee knows her stuff about hair and she transformed my natural hair to healthy. She is very knowledgeable about hair and did not rip through my hair like sadly past stylists have. She truly knows her stuff. I am so glad we reconnected! I highly recommend Renee whether her hair is healthy or unhealthy.Thank you so much, Renee for saving my hair!

I’m typically sensitive and hypercritical of my hair and anyone that touches it, respectively (I’ve had bad hair experiences). However, I have nothing but praise for Renee and the way she took care of my hair. She also gave advice on caring for it going forward. I’ve never been happier with two-strand twists nor the style that they’re in. Renee is warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and everything in-between. I’ll be going back again and again, no question.Service: Twist braids

I worked with Renee's daughter, Afi. She was super kind and knowledgable, this was my first "silk press" and she assured me throughout the process and was happy to answer my many questions. She took the time to condition my hair and she straightened it with care and attention to detail. My hair has lasted 2 weeks now! With the New York summer humidity and all. Afi even showed me how to "wrap" my hair for sleeping and she gave me the names of all of her favorite serums and brushes. I reached out to her a few times regarding some questions she was happy to answer and she followed up with me as well to see how my hair was holding up. Overall a wonderful experience, the salon atmosphere was amazing too. I loved meeting the otehr stylists. My type 3b hair feels so silky and smooth - I'm sad that wash day is coming! Thanks Afi!

I brought my daughter and her friends in today to get pink and blue Dutch braids. Rene was a total professional, and made the braids exactly as my daughter and her friends envisioned. We will be back.Service: Braids
