If you have curly hair especially if you have any hair that is not already straightened my advice to you is don't even step foot here. I went one week before my appointment and asked if they could do my hair? my hair is very curly the girl came out for a consultation and said she said she has experience with my type of hair. When I came in for my appointment she colored it and it didn't even stick.
She try straighten it and it don't look straightened at all. When I was done I was 100% unsatisfied with my hair but because I didn't want to create any commotion I made another appointment with a different hair place and they fixed my hair. The point of the story is I thought my bill was $68 because that the service they provided and that what she said so I paid it and then I realized it the next day it was $268 when I came in the morning to clarify it she said it was $268. My hair didn't even look like it was done professionally I could and have done my hair better than she did.

Just got my hair done balayage by Rosie and it came out fantastic. Also not as pricey as other places I've gone. Plus they give you a cute gift bag with product as well as $20 off your next visit. I will definitely be going back.
