The Reverence Design Team Hair Salon — Local services in Cleveland Heights

Okay, where do I start?? I left a message with an inquiry into getting my 5 year old daughter's hair done. To be honest, I've had such lousy experiences with 'our' hair salons, I didn't really expect a timely response, if any response at all. But I did. I can't remember his name, but a gentleman called back the very next day (my inquiry was late the day prior) and was friendly and set up my daughter's appointment.

They texted the day prior to the appointment to confirm and again, were incredibly friendly and professional.

When we arrived, my daughter, who is still adjusting to kindergarten, was tired and cranky and not too happy about being there; Christian greeted her with a smile and so much warmth!

She talked to me about my goals for my baby's hair, gave me some insight and proceeded to start working on her hair.

I had to run home quickly, so I left my niece with my daughter, and they were very patient with that. When I returned about 20 minutes later, instead of the usual "we don't want kids in here" they were complimentary of the girls!

At one point while Christian was braiding, my daughter had reached her breaking point and started to sob (again, no indication on Christian, my baby was just exhausted and has a sensitive scalp), LaDosha, the owner, offered my daughter a book for me to read to her, and a bear for her to cuddle while she finished with her hair. This calmed my daughter right down.

Now, I know this is about the salon, but the book was absolutely FIRE and LaDosha is the author! The storyline and illustrations are engaging and whimsical. My daughter and I both loved it so much we bought it (you should too)!

Back to the salon experience... all of the stylists at this family-run shop were friendly; and not just speak and half smile friendly. No, they were engaged and interested and actually friendly, but still professional! The gentleman who made the appointment for us offered my baby snacks, and sent some to take home to her cousins.

Truly for the first time in a long time, this salon felt like the salons of yesteryear, where you felt safe, and cared for, and listened to. I hope my daughter can "grow up in" this salon and find community there.

The style Christian did for us was probably a bit my involved than she was expecting to do, but we wanted something pretty and she was gracious and accommodated us and did an absolutely phenomenal job. My daughter couldn't stop smiling.

Oh, also, I LOVE the emphasis on black positivity, manifestations, and the spiritual importance of this thing called life. I think that resonated with the type of patrons they attract as well, because even the other clients just had good energy.

If you're a person who is looking for professional, knowledgeable, kind, clean, and welcoming environment, this is the place to go.

Thanks again, RDT. We will see you in a...

I recently took down my braids after wearing them for several months, and being a natural, my hair was on life support. I had spent days scouring the internet to try to find a salon that could possibly tackle my natural hair along with my alopecia concerns. And with my youngest son’s graduation coming up within a week, I was seriously at the point of despair. Just as I was nearing tears, thank GOD a family friend referred me to Ladosha Wright, who was able to somehow squeeze me in today.

To start, I knew I was in good hands when I arrived for my 8AM appointment, and Ladosha was already there and ready for me. Once I was in her chair, Ladosha treated me like a beloved family member. Not only did she ask great questions during the consultation, she literally talked me through everything she recommended for my hair. She explained what products she was using and why, and she patiently answered my questions.

I have been living in Atlanta for the past fifteen years, where I have been to some of the best celebrity-type stylists both inside and outside the perimeter. But this was a very different experience from other salons I have been to. I am talking tools, techniques, and products I have never even seen or heard of before. She educated me on how to care for my hair after the salon visit. She was uber professional, yet personable and warm. Top to bottom, this woman made me feel like a cherished client. And my hair went from looking like a birds nest to soft, silky, and supple. I got up out of the chair feeling like a million bucks. What’s more, I truly believe she saved me from possibly losing all my hair.

The whole energy of the place is so inviting and friendly. Shout out to the whole salon staff who entered the place with smiles and good vibes. Shout out to Kriss who helped me at checkout and made me feel most welcome and cherished. Ladies, do yourselves a favor and book an appointment as soon as possible for this upcoming holiday...

(mid December 2019) I am literally amazed!!! I'm a natural girl. I wear my hair curly 99.99999% of the time. I had a really bad experience a few years ago at another salon and haven't been back to one in literal years. Needless to say, I was SUPER nervous to give this salon a try. I am sooooooo greatful that I gave the salon a chance for 5 reasons.

They calmed my nerves, they listen to me, and they actually took my input into consideration.

After the consultation with my stylist, Kimberly took the time to explain what she was going to do and why she was going to do it. The communication between my stylist and I was phenomenal.

minimum hair shed. She took her time detangling my hair as well as giving me the best freaking scalp massage/ hair wash that I have EVER received.

The cut. I went in to get my hair trimmed and from previous experiences stylist can be scissor happy. Not Kimberly. She talked to me before she began cutting to let me know how much needed to be cut, asked me how much I felt comfortable cutting, and then proceeded to cut that amount if not less.

Flat ironing. As previously stated, I am a natural girl. I wear my hair curly 99% of the time. One of my main concerns was heat damaged. Kimberly reassured that because of the precautions she took during the washing and detangling phases, I would not get heat damage. I was skeptical. I waited so long to write this review because I wanted to make sure that my hair was going to revert back to its curly State. And it 100% has. No heat damage at all. What I say that I am completely happy, I am completely freaking happy. Did I mention that this style lasted for weeks? I didn't even wrap my hair properly each night. I am confident that I could have worn worn it for a month, but I didn't wrap it every night and I did ALOT of exercising.

Thank you so much for the amazing experience! When I come back to Cleveland, I will be...
