I am really disappointed with this salon. I had been going to the salon for a while. The owner, Ramona, and her daughter both knew that I was letting my hair grow out and was working towards becoming 100% natural. While they were aware, I never thought that the owner would put something in my hair without first, advising that it costs $300 and the fact that it was a chemical treatment. In my opinion, this was not an act of loyalty. There were other ways to straighten my natural hair without using the most expensive method of putting a keratin treatment in it, but what is more disheartening, is that I was not educated about what was being put in my hair, so I assumed it was a regular treatment and not a chemical treatment. This is greed and dishonest. When I wanted to get the keratin treatment out of my hair a week later, the owner wanted to charge me an additional $55 when I did not ask for it to begin with. The keratin treatment caused sores in addition to an extremely flaky scalp. Weeks later, my hair broke off badly and was thinning. Why she suggested putting a chemical in my hair while being aware that I was going natural, remains unknown? If you are reading this review, please do not get a keratin treatment. It is very damaging to the hair. Please do your research before you consider a hair stylist. Select a stylist who is going to be honest, educate you about what is being put in your hair, and someone you can trust for hair care. While the keratin treatment was being applied to my hair, I could barely breathe and kept coughing which lead me to believe that this was not a regular hair treatment. In fact, there was a lady in the salon whose daughter was being serviced. She literally left the salon because the fumes from the chemical were so strong, she too, could not bear the smell. Your hair can be healthy for many years and all it takes is one time for it to become damaged. Something to really think about. Please read the dangers of keratin treatment below.
