Harlem Natural Hair Salon

I’m writing this review after sitting with my experience for about a month or so, and unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this salon or the stylist I worked with, Awa S. Before my appointment, I called to ask if a wash and detangling were included in the service and was told yes by the guy at the front desk. However, once I was already seated in the wash chair, Awa stopped and asked if my hair was detangled. When I said no because I was told it was included she informed me it would be an additional $30. This should have been clearly communicated beforehand, not once I was already in the chair. From the start of the service, the stylist appeared rushed and visibly annoyed, which made the experience uncomfortable especially for a first time client. I didn’t feel welcomed or given time to ch

I researched and finally found a place that does natural hair. And came up with this wonderful place, my daughter got a Silk press and clipped ends. And the stylist was Lucinda J. And she were wonderful. This was my daughter first time being in a hair salon. And that's because I've always did her hair , so this was More special for me to allow someone else in my daughter's head. I appreciate how Lucinda J. took care of my daughter's hair carefully.

I had a mixed experience at the salon, mainly due to the attitude of my stylist, Amanda. I initially visited for a silk press after combing out my locs. However, Amanda wasn't very pleasant or welcoming during our first meeting. After examining my hair, she expressed doubt about whether I could achieve a silk press due to its condition, and her disdain was quite apparent. After blow-drying my hair, I could see the damage and agreed to cut it off. We had some back and forth, but I eventually asked her to try to pull out my natural curls. Once she did, I felt a bit better about the visit. However, my main issue was her lack of care. I mentioned that I had been locked for over 20 years and that making this change was anxiety-inducing for me. It was only then that she showed a hint of compas

I’m very grateful for the service at Harlem Natural Hair Salon! After reading various reviews around the area, I decided to come here for my starter locs four months ago, as well as a color treatment. I have returned each month for my retwist. They have enough appointments open to accommodate my busy schedule, but the place is never empty. They are timely and send reminders in advance which I find really helpful and professional. Lucinda has been taking amazing care of my hair! I appreciate how friendly, professional, and knowledgeable she is. Harlem hair is definitely my go to spot, and I would recommend it to anyone.

I've been going here since August to get my hair tied into locs, and Tomeka G. (who my brother recommended to me) is an amazing loctician and the open I'd give the most props. Even though my hair was very short when first starting out, she still did a great job at tying it and I've been satisfied with the result with every visit. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you def get what you pay for.
