Would not recommend for people with Afro hair. The first time I came to this place, the person who was in immediately tried to shoo me away because "we don't do this type of hair" but someone else came and intervened and attended to be with a bit more class and politeness. I had my hair cut but was told to straighten it before hand which I found ridiculous because I've had my hair cut while wet several times. Plus my hair was actually relaxed so the comment was even more absurd. Anyway, I didn't know any other place so I simply ignored this sideways comment.

Fast forward a year later, I received a birthday voucher so I decided to use it. After all, why not? So I went in and this time was greeted by a very sweet woman. She cut my hair on three occasions while it was transitioning to natural. She did a great job.

Fast forward not to yesterday. I received another birthday voucher and so went in to see if the stylist was still there so she could cut off what remains of my relaxed ends. The person there, a man who sounds either American or Canadian, seemed nice at first, but then proceeded to speak to me as though he knew better about my own hair texture, which has been growing on my head for many years. My hair is currently in twists so he asked if they would be taken out in the salon. He added that if so "it would require more detangling." I replied no, as I planned to take out the twists this weekend and so my hair would be detangler from the style anyway. But he insisted that apparently two people would be required to detangle my hair. I laughed internally while I tried to reassure him that in fact, this is not the case, because I would have combed it quite a lot anyway. But he still insisted he knew better. But I know for a fact that my hair is not that difficult to comb. I mean, it's mine, not his. I know better. Certain things are not difficult if you're as competent a stylist as you claim, anyway . Anyway, I refused to stoop so low to this veiled insult. I finished my enquiry and left.

I shall not be returning to this salon.
