Just Locs

请问有中国发型师吗？我的英语不太好，我想做个头发，但担心沟通会有困难

I would leave negative stars if I could. This woman's incompetence caused me to cut off my entire head of hair that I had been growing and caring for myself for 9 years. Pictures will be included for reference in order of the style I wanted, my before and after, my bald head, and my own attempt after my hair grew back. I've done my own hair since 2012. In 2021, I wanted a simple scatter-dye job for my locs. I had 60 locs in total, I wanted about 20 of them bleached, and about 15 of the bleached locs dyed pink with dye that I brought myself. Since I had never worked w bleach/dye before, I wanted to go to a professional. This woman was anything but that. My appointment was June 9th, 2021 at 2pm. The entire appointment was a disaster. I was running about 15 minutes late so I called to let her know, and she responded saying it wasn't a problem. Nothing else. I showed up for my 2pm appointment, and did not get into the chair until 6. I considered leaving around 4:30 but stayed because she essentially begged me to, claiming to finally be "almost done" with the second of two customers that were ahead of me. She asked me to remind her exactly what I wanted. I had already told her once during the initial consultation call. When I told her again, she raised her voice at me and said something like, "come on, lady," like I did something wrong by making sure she she knew the details of something she had already agreed to do. When I finally got in the chair, this woman proceeded to put bleach ALL OVER MY HAIR. Normally, when you want to bleach specific pieces of hair without getting bleach on others (i.e: highlights on straight hair) the bleached hair is separated from the unbleached hair with foil. This woman did not use any foil on any part of my hair. Whether it was because she didn't know she needed to, or because she wanted to save time, I will never know. She put me under the dryer with this mess of bleach all over my head, and I resigned myself to my fate. I tried to leave again after the dryer, as I was unhappy, starving, and had been there for 5 hours already. She insisted I stay for the retwist, saying I shouldn't go with my hair half done. During the retwist, she tore up my roots without a care in the world, prioritizing the fact that she was running behind over the health of my hair for the second time that evening. Of course, when you're separating locs, some of the hair does rip. In this instance, though, it seemed her goal was to separate my roots BY ripping the hair apart. I had moments of jaw clenching rage, and moments when I wanted to cry. I didn't leave until 8:30. After the fact, I tried to like it. Though I agonized over damage and changes in my texture and porosity, I tried for months. I obviously didn't want to throw away 9 years of hair growth. I even bought box dye in my orininal hair color to cover some of the bleach and make it look more like what I had wanted. It fixed the appearance, but didn't ease my concerns over the damage. I ended up cutting all my hair off on July 30th, 2021. In the 4 years since then, I've recovered 75% of my lost length and I love my hair today. In 2024, I successfully gave myself the dye job I asked for back in 2021. It took several hours, but it was simple and easy. The hardest part was cutting the foil to the length I needed. This entire ordeal could have been avoided if this woman swallowed her pride, admitted she didn't know what she was doing, and allowed me to leave when I said I wanted to. Instead, she took advantage of me being young, alone, and afraid to speak up for myself. She charged me 200 dollars to willfully ruin my hair. Maybe she hadn't wanted me to leave out of fear that I would leave a bad review. I can't help but think that if she just let me leave when I had wanted to, 2 and a half hours after my appointment time yet somehow I hadn't gotten into the chair yet, I probably would have chalked the experience up to overbooking and not left a review in the first place. After the piss poor job she did though, I HAD to leave a review.

I have never left a negative review, but my experience with this business warrants one. Despite hearing positive things, I encountered a lack of professionalism and accountability. So I call Thursday to book on loc attachments for my birthday photoshoot on Saturday. Once Saturday arrives, I receive a text saying that booking was canceled due to overbooking, which was inconvenient but something I could understand. They apologize and reschedule me for Tuesday. We had communicated about hair preparation beforehand and once more on Sunday. Now it's Tuesday, and I received no confirmation. An hour before my 4:30 PM appointment (for which I took time off), I texted to confirm. Only then did I receive a message stating an emergency came up and the appointment was canceled. There was no proactive communication, leaving me to wonder if I had said nothing at all, when would I have been made aware that my appointment was canceled? I will say this, I am grateful that this business doesn't take down payments because the way things have been handled, I'm not confident I would even be refunded. But as a message to future clients, your locs are your crown, and I would never let anyone without respect for your time or theirs play in your head.

I was looking for a loctician in Brooklyn ( coming from NappStar) and I found this gem of a salon nearby my house. I was lucky to book a same day appointment . From the shampoo to the style I was very satisfied with the visit. Lael took her time and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely recommended
