I cant say enough good things about April! I recently returned to her about four months ago for color on my sisterlocks, and every experience since has reminded me why I trusted her with my hair back in high school. She now colors and styles my hair in between my retightenings. April used to maintain my relaxers and roller sets, and my hair was always thick, healthy, and full of bodyI received so many compliments back then, and that same level of care is still present today.
What I love most is how personalized and focused the experience is. Theres no crowd. Its just you and April, so you get her full attention. She truly listens to your needs, takes her time, and makes sure you leave satisfied. And lets talk about punctuality!! When you book an appointment, she is ready to start right on time, every time. That professionalism and respect for your time is rare and so appreciated.
April is not just a stylistshes a hair care expert who genuinely cares about the health and beauty of your hair. Im so glad to be back in her chair. In a time when many newer stylists lack the professionalism and attention to detail that comes with experience, April stands out as a true OG in the hair industry!!

April is a fantastic hairstylist, and Ive been with her for years. April has a great eye for color and Im loving the color, plus my new hair cut. She cuts your hair with care rather than rushing through it, and shes willing to make adjustments when they are needed.April did an amazing cut on my hair, and I feel like a completely new woman!!! I also forgot to mention, shes also styling my granddaughters hair and she talks about how she loves the way she washes her hair, saying how it feels so good Thank you April, see you soon!!

April is incredibly skilled and experienced when it comes to hair styling. She always creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere while I'm in her chair. On my most recent visit, I requested a silk press for my tapered twa along with some color. I was thrilled with the results; both the color and style exceeded my expectations. I was also delighted to see how well my hair returned to its natural texture after washing it a week later. One of the best things about April is that she truly listens! I have scalp psoriasis, and she had no issues using my medicated shampoo as I requested. She also made sure to deep condition my hair thoroughly after the wash. While April works wonders for all hair types and textures, I highly recommend her to anyone with natural hair. You wont regret it! Youll be so glad you read my review. Stay beautiful, ladies!
