3 /5 KC Coney: I was skeptical to even book because I found them on Instagram and I didn’t see any before pics of women with my hair texture, which is really coily very defined 4c hair. Unfortunately my skepticism was confirmed. I feel the stylist didn’t know how to properly care for my hair texture. She was trying to blow dry my hair in the way suitable for a looser curl pattern which made it very uncomfortable with a lot of pulling and “raking”. The products used clearly did not work for my hair at all because even after the steam treatment my hair was still very undefined and tangled. The customer service was about average with stylist gossiping about other clients, going out for smoke breaks etc. Also, the wash was a joke, she supposedly washed my hair 3 times with 3 different products. Cool, but I know for a fact she didn’t wash the back of my head because one shampoo had a scalp cooling effect and I only felt it on my side and top, nothing on my back. She didn’t scrub my back AT ALL, just the back strands, no attention to my actual scalp even though this was a scalp detox. And I mentally counted, she literally scrubbed my top/sides for 7 secs and then started rinsing again. I know my scalp was not cleansed properly at all. And I even asked before we started if she could give a really good scrub because I had my braids in for the past 2 months and I knew I had a lot of product built up. She was too concerned with a recent negative review, to focus on providing good service to me. But what really irritated me was how my stylist dried my hair. It was one of the worse blow outs I’ve ever experienced. Normally, ESPECIALLY after a deep condition and steam treatment, my hair is soft and very easy to detangle and blow dry. That was not the case here. Then she put me under the dryer after a very mediocre detangle for my “roots” to dry because it would “be a mess” (her words) if she tried to dry my hair from the wet state, which I’ve never had to do. Tbh I wouldn’t go back to this particular stylist. Maybe the other lady referred to as the blowout Queen but I think, Ms P the stylist I had, didn’t know how to care for my hair texture. Very disheartening after spending $140. And i ended up wherein a ponytail by the end of the day because there wasn’t any “silk” in my blowout. It was only straightened. It had no life, body or anything. I gave 3 stars to the salon because the stylist did try to be semi professional and they were able to get me in same day before an interview.
