These wretches are extotioners who sell faulty products and only want to give a store credit instead of refunding your money on the defective items. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

This is a very nice store for anyone who's looking for hair products, wigs or hair pieces. They were well supplied & the store associates were very helpful & willing to assist with all questions. I would recommend this store, I certainly will shop there again.

I will never come back here, The sign saying that you need to wear a mask is very small on the front door and there's about 10 other signs on the door surrounding it. There were two people sitting at the door when I walked in and they let me in without a mask after I finished shopping they told me that I cannot be rang up without a mask. I went to my car to get my mask came back and they wouldn't let me in for 10 minutes. the door was locked and the LP would not tell me why.
After standing outside for 10 minutes I was finally let in and told they were at capacity. They never told me when I was leaving that I wouldn't be able to come back in immediately. when I knocked on the door they didn't tell me why I couldn't come in, and while I was standing there six people left out before I was able to come back in.

One of the largest in the area but need to stock more regularly. Plenty of times I've been here they didn't have the color hair or wigs i need which is #1 and the customer service needs improvement. It's in the hood so the outside doesn't have the best curb appeal
