I rate this hair salon 3 stars because even though they were very kindly & professional form the moment I walked in until the moment I left out, the stylist by the name of Douglas didn't know how to style my 4C hair & I would've liked for him to be honest & tell me that from the jump that he doesn't really work with coarse hair that well than for me to sit almost a hour & a half in his chair for my hair to come out not how I wanted it to & still ended up paying for the fee.

I understand that this salon is majorly based on doing caucasian hair & I should've did more research before I decided this is where I wanted to get my hair serviced at but for future references if you are a african american & you have 4B or 4C coarse hair & your thinking about coming here I would definitely reconsider going somewhere else or to another salon who specializes in that type of hair because it'll save you time & money.

Heartbroken is the word I would use to describe my last experience. I used to live close by and was a client of Isa's for years. He has given me some of the best haircuts I've ever had and I always leave the salon feeling like a beauty queen. Ive since moved and I live over 35 minutes away and still go to Isa. Well today my appointment was at 10am and at 9:55 I called and said Im stuck on the beltway there was so many accidents and traffic this morning and said I would be late.

I was told no problem. When I walked in the door at 10:15am I was told I couldnt be seen anymore. Im so sad and shocked, Ive been a client for years and travel far for this hairdresser. I have a toddler and its hard to make sure everyone is taken care of out the door too. I was told hair appointments are 30 minutes when in reality I have waited when others are late and I have definitely be there for over 30 minutes for my haircut before. I love this hair dresser, but dont think ill be back. Im so sad and even crying as I write this. This feels like a terrible breakup all over 15 minutes.

I walked in one day for a color correction. The very kind receptionist (I believe her name began with a G) recommended Doug, who at the time, wasn't in the salon. She then called him on the phone where I was able to explain to him my color crisis. He asked me to come back later that day for a consultation. I arrived on time, and found Doug waiting and ready for me.

After about a 10 minute consult, I knew I was in good hands. My appointment was scheduled for the next day. I walked into the salon looking crazy, and walked out with a beautiful color. Thanks again Doug! I would like to also shout out James for providing one of THEE best shampoo scrubs, with a smile.

Jessica did a great job on my hair and made sure to ask all the right questions before getting started so she knew exactly what I wanted. My hair looks great! I specifically chose her because the website says she specializes in short cuts, and that's what I was going for. Everyone in the salon was friendly and welcoming. The salon itself is kept very clean, too!

I'm usually not the type to leave a review but, today I felt like I needed to. My friend came to this salon about an hour ago to get her hair straightened but, was met with clear as day discrimination against her hair by one of your employees DIANA! She complained throughout the whole appointment how "difficult" my friends curly hair was. If you can't do all hair textures because you're inexperienced just say that no need to comment on how difficult a 16 year old girls hair is. It's things like that that make black women insecure about there hair type. DO BETTER!

Headlines is very welcoming and comfortable. My boyfriend has been coming here for years, so I decided to check it out. Isa is an amazing stylist. I'm very picky with my long hair, and he gave me an excellent layered cut that's cute even when I don't style it. I'll definitely be going back!

I haven't purchased boxed dye for over a decade, until I went here. I asked for natural looking highlights that would blend into my own hair. I showed pictures as an example of how it's been done with my hair in the past. As she's applying the dye she says, "I know it looks like a lot, but it isn't". Ok. She turned me blonde. Once she showed me the back I was two toned and it looked the absolute opposite of natural or blended.

She knew I was upset because she tried to cut some more of the back of my head to "blend it", then offered for me to come in to dye more. But the point was totally missed. I left having spent $245 to be completely unhappy. I immediately went to Target to get cheap boxed dye so that I didn't have to live with hair I hated. I never treat myself, this was a rare event for me, and it's an expensive lesson learned that I'll never do it again.
