  Review:

  I had wanted to try out this salon for many years and my first and second experience was on the so so side. The first time I went I had received a flat twist and I will say that once I took it out my hair did look great but was really dry. The second time I went a guy did a twist on my hair and it looked like something I could have done at home. Another reason I don't like this place is because when a discussion comes about on curly hair it seems like its more of a guessing game and that made me very uncomfortable. The assistant manager is sweet but the manager is a bit of an airhead. I would say this place is great for women in the 4a - 4c curl texture but 3a - 3c women beware. They have no knowledge of this hair type!

  Review:

  I've gone here on and off for about 7 years. Their extension styles are very expensive (Tyra Banks hung up when she heard prices according to 2 stylists!) but natural hair styles are reasonable. What can I say I've had good and irksome experiences. I've waited over an hour for a stylist (Jamillah) and had to be handed over to another person for color (they were reading a box), and the front desk always seems to vacillate between phony or prickly. The results were always amazing. My many twist styles (w/extensions) were fabulous! My last natural-hair coil style with a red color-correction and highlights was amazing as well. Their site is updated much more than most and Jamillah is not only sweet, funny and at the top of her game but the go-to for the edgiest curly looks AROUND! She rocked the twisted-hawk and side-shaven swing braid style way before I saw anyone else do it. They sell oils, JC products and now, on site, they sell dreaded MJ's products. The old salon was convenient in Manhattan. The new in Brooklyn is easy enough by subway and the salon is HUGE, like a terminal and just about as cozy, but these are tried and true stylists who KNOW cuts, styles and product.
