My first time at this salon and it’s such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I had been looking for a long time for a stylist with a certain skill set, and Nicole is that. She’s definitely the best at what she does. I absolutely love my hair. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a new hair stylist.Service: Hairstyling

It's been about 10 days since I took my weave out and I'm just getting my feelings together enough to write all this up. So, I'll start out by saying this: I didn't have a bad salon experience. Nikki was personable during my consultation and my salon visit, and everyone there was pretty nice. My issues are with the quality of the hair and the install itself. I got my hair styled the day before a wedding I was in, and my appointment was booked a month or so in advance. I booked a consultation first to talk about my options and we decided on a closure sew in, pin curled so that I could have to worry about the curls falling before the event. She dissuaded me from getting the frontal as it would require more maintenance, and recommended that I buy the hair from her so that she would already have it on hand and would be able to prep the hair ahead of time. I followed her recommendation and she even walked me through the purchasing process when the closure she recommended was not active on her webpage. So, fast forward to my appointment, she does my hair the way we agreed upon and sewed an elastic band onto the closure to lay it flat. I've never had this done before but I trust her as she has been professional up to this point and she has great reviews on StyleSeat. She pins my hair, I leave and tie my hair up as soon as I get home. I unwrap my hair the following day and my hair is gorgeous. But I notice a few things. 1. The hair I purchased from her has a very noticeable corn chip smell. The like that you'll recognize if you've purchased cheap hair from foreign vendors before. It was almost a foregone conclusion of getting weaves 10 years ago when I first started buying hair from independent vendors but it's been a long time since I've had hair that smelled low quality. 2. The bleach she used to bleach the knots on my closure got on the roots of the hair. This is a common mistake when bleaching closures and frontals, but I would think that since she had the hair for so long before my appointment, she would have used a rinse or dye to fix that. 3. This is the reason I chose to write a review instead of just chalking the situation and not going back. If this helps anyone in their decision making, I'll be grateful: that elastic band was resting on my hairline. I thought it was sitting over the wig cap but she had cut the wig cap so that it was only under the closure. I had a deep side part so the closure was placed on the side of my head and the elastic band RUBBED MY EDGES OFF. I've never had any issues maintaining my edges. And I didn't get the full scope of how the band was installed until I was removing the weave. I have about 2 inches of my hairline across the front that have rubbed off and even a few ingrown hairs that popped out while examining the area afterwards. My hair under the closure is fine so it's not the glue that did it. It's the friction from having that band stuck to my head for the 3 weeks that I had it in. I'm devastated. Book with caution.
