My wedding hair(by Regina) and makeup(Angelie) were flawless. I received so many compliments! Highly recommended.

I’ve been getting my haircut by Rose for the past 3 – 4 years now and have been nothing less then satisfied. She has always done exactly what I’ve asked of her and on a few occasions I’ve given here free reign to change up my style without even telling me what she is going to do and I’ve never been disappointed. The overall service is great and if you’re a guy planning on checking it out for the first time MAKESURE that you request Rose as your stylist.

I have been coming to French Twist for over 14 years and I love my hairstylist, Renee. She is very professional, kind, and caring. Renee always offers me good advise on my hair. I have received so many complaints on my hair cut and color! Thanks Renee! I would highly recommend Renee for your next haircut.

Went to French twist for years and I agree with the other posts Raven and the other stylist are extremely talented. However the issue I run into is the way you are treated on the phone and when you walk in. Every time I’ve called to make an appointment I am put on hold for at least 10 minutes which I feel is unacceptable. When you walk in and approach the front desk no one greets you with a «hello» or «hi… How are you?»; there is only an unpleasant stare from the older woman at the desk who doesn’t say anything besides you can get washed. I got married last year and wanted to have my bridesmaids and my hair and makeup done here. I was told I would have to wait for the book to come out which was three months before my wedding. Then no body wanted to work on a Sunday, I can literally here them arguing in the back about who was going to do it. Then they decided that a large deposit would scare me away. I decided to then go there and talk with someone. I was then talking to who apparently was the owner who basically said in so many words they don’t want to do it. Considering another upscale salon just opened across the street, you would think they wanted the business but they didn’t. Although the stylist are talented I refuse to return to a place that treats its clients in a «we don’t need your business manner».

I have been going to this salon for almost a year now. I have had several blow outs by various girls which were all fantastic. Unfortunately, I recently had the worst experience with a girl whose name I cannot remember. This review is purely based on her. It is the one girl who sits to the right directly behind the register(blonde hair) and she is completely unprofessional, rude, and unskilled. I have never had a bad experience with this salon, but this girl essentially complained to me that I was there and wanted to charge me way more money than ever charged before at this salon. I believe the only reason my blow out was the price it was(still $ 10 more than my friends) was because the stylist asked the front desk what my friends were charged for their services. When told, she had a complete look of disgust. It was extremely impolite to make comments about price in front of me– does this salon not have standard pricing? Every blow out I have ever had there takes about a half hour– she for some reason wanted to make sure that«next time» I ask for an hour because there was no way she could complete my hair in the time allotted. I have never heard this from any other stylist, not to mention she took me 5 – 10 minutes after my appointment. She obviously is a little slower at her job. After sitting through this tortuous appointment my hair did not turn out anything like I asked for. I left disappointed and re-did my own hair. French Twist has always had great, fun, and talented employees– do not see this girl as she is the complete opposite of this. She needs a lesson on customer service and should go back to beauty school.

Called for an appointment for my daughter to have a haircut same day. Did not request specific stylist. Was given an appointment at 4:30 with Michelle. 4:40 we were still waiting, although other stylists appeared to be available. When I inquired about the remaning wait time was told it would be another 10 minutes. We left. Won’t be back. Don’t give appointments you can’t honor.

Terrible blowout my hair looked like an afro and my hair dresser was rude! I waited for 20 mins while my hairdresser was on her phone eating chips. So many hairdressers just sitting around and still there was a wait. I will never go back!

I have been going here for years. If you are a blonde, go see Ashley. She is the absolute best. I don’t even have to tell her what to do and my color is perfect every time. I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my hair!!!

I’ve been going to French Twist for almost 20 years — since their original spot on Hugenot Ave. I have had my hair done by almost all the girls in there and they are all amazing. The place gets super busy on the weekends and sometimes it’s tough to get an appointment with my girl, but I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

This place is great, Rose is great, been going to her since I grew past getting a hair cut that only involved electric clippers.
