I have been coming to this business for about a month now and sadly today will be my last. The first time I came here things seem to be clean for the most part, fast, and friendly until today. I got a wash as usual and I bought my own condition as usual however today the owner felt the need to charge me 5 $ extra because I used the dryer for 3 mins. Also every time the owner roller sets my hair I have to beg for a clean comb. After this experience I will not be back here. Id advice anyone coming here to watch out for little issues such as the one I experienced.

I went in on a Tuesday late afternoon for a blowdry, so it wasn’t very busy. Vanessa was wonderful and professional, gave me a few good pointers for preventing hair breakage, and did not burn my scalp (which is huge!). I have tight curly thin hair and it took about 40 minutes. I don’t mind the music… its actually good. If you want a quick, no frills place in a convenient location, this is it. I’ll be back!

Martha and her Hairstylists are the business. Come check them out. They work fast, grow your hair and reasonable rates.

Wanted to try this place to take my 8 year old daughter, so I decided to stop by to get a feel of the shop & possibly see what all was going on there.
Upon me walking in, and I might add that it was a Friday afternoon, around lunch time and it was not busy. Huge shop with one person under the dryer. Ok, cool. So I begin speaking with a woman who spoke broken English and told me that they don’t do my kind of hair. OK. First of all, I have braids, why would I be coming to you to ask you about doing my hair in the current state that it is in now? Second, you didn’t even allow me to open my mouth and you’re turning me away.
So after explaining to this idiot that i am not inquiring about myself, she’d proceeds to tell me that they don’t do natural hair. So I tell her I don’t want u to lock or braid it, just wash and blow it out!!! All I want u to do is wash and blow out my kid’s hair! What kind of Dominican shop doesn’t do that? So in her continued broken English she tells me that they only relax hair, then blow it out. So another stylist walks over and sees the exchange and proceeds to say the same.
This to me explains why the shop was so dead. When it comes to ethnic hair, the «new» thing is that people are getting away from the chemicals. So most people just want a wash and blow out. I really do not understand. Then as I walk out the second woman I spoke to says after me saying ok, thank you, says thank you sweetie. SWEETIE? I turned around and said don’t you EVER on your life call me sweetie. Thank you. And walked out.
Not to mention as I’m speaking with these two geniuses, a woman walks in and proceeds to use the ATM in the shop. They both in the middle of our convo begin yelling at tis woman that her stylist wasn’t in and she couldn’t come in right now. The woman was noticeably confused as to why they were all crazy but then just said ok after their cackling and left.
I do not know what their level of expertise is with doing hair cause I never got that far, but I do know that their behavior was absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional. I will NEVER be back there again. You do what you want though. Maybe you will have a better experience. I sure hope so! =)

These ladies know how to blow dry hair. Service is always quick and friendly. Facilities aren’t top notch, but everything is great for the low price and how your hair will look in the end. However, do not get your hair cut here.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this place. I used to go here religiously because of their low prices and it’s a relatively quick turnaround but, I’ve since realized that some things are worth paying for; good service and salon quality products. I decided I was going to take a break from the relaxers for a while and I went in for a wash and wrap, they washed my hair and deep-​conditioned it. They do a great job at washing hair, though, the products used are questionable. When I got into the chair to be rolled, the technician hollered out to the owner who danced her way over to the chair (she dances to the too-​loud Spanish music for most of the day) and together with the technician tried to convince me to get a perm (after just having it washed– scalp thoroughly scratched) on the spot. When I declined, they put my hair in a ponytail and asked me to leave.
Do I need to say anything further? The wash and deep conditioner were free but walking own the street with a wet curly ball of tangled hair cost me about 3 hours in front of a mirror and a fair amount of embarrassment. I’m back to relaxing now but I can’t say that I’d go back again after being treated so poorly.
If you don’t relax, don’t go here! If you relax, bring your own products if you must go here.

It was soooo busy (I went on a Saturday), I had to wait an hour to even get my hair washed. Pay attention to who you’re after because they were calling people out of order. They had no line, didn’t have any numbers, etc, pretty disorganized. The actual hair service itself was good. I got a wash, cut, set and blow dry. The owner kept trying to force people to get perms and even made one girl cry (granted, the girls hair was a little «stubborn»), but still should be a personal preference. Your first time you get a free deep conditioner which is pretty good. Would I return again? If it was just about the hair, maybe… but since customer service is lacking, probably not.
