Alaya is the best. My hair is thick and at times unmanageable, but she took her time with it. She did not treat my natural hair like it was a nuisance instead she treated my hair like it was her own, with extreme care. She oiled the ends of my hair before installing anything and her additional detangling was done gently. Around my edges (actually around my entire head) she was very light handed and I have zero worries about having my hairline pushed back.

I came upon this shop and was immediately intrigued so I started looking into the services offered and the reviews. The woman who owns this business is absolutely unprofessional, the manner in which she responds to people leaving reviews is disgusting, immature, and embarrassing. I would never work with someone who disrespects and degrades people who they have worked with, or who they would have potentially worked with. To the owner this shop, I implore you to start addressing and acting professionally, if you won't to go beyond being a...
