Today I decided to get a virgin relaxer on my 4b hair. I arrived around 10:45am and signed in for services. The ladies at the front desk were pleasant and made the suggestion that I also get a deep conditioner. That was an excellent suggestion because I definitely forgot. When it was my turn Cheyenne walked up to the front, introduced herself and walked me to the back. She was very polite to me and patient with my hair. The chemical application was supervised the entire time. A timer was used to avoid over processing which I definitely appreciated. Cheyenne made sure my scalp was prepped and that there was no irritation. She was extremely meticulous through out the entire process. She took her time blow drying my hair and she was not heavy handed at all. She sectioned my hair into small parts to make sure every part of my hair cut. Once she flat ironed my hair and turned me around I was extremely impressed. My hair looks and feels much healthier. I have been to salons that are no where near this quality and paid much more. Definitely give this location a try. The students work very hard. I was observing the other student stylists and they were all pretty great with a variety of styles and hair textures. I will definitely be back!

Noelle gave me perfect fall highlights, adding richness and depth to my hair. She looked at a picture I had and knew how to combine color products to make it perfect & beautiful. I left with a bounce in my step and my curls!
