This was my first visit to Curltopia was a very pleasant experience! I arrived and was greeted by a welcoming space and courteous staff. I did not wait long; Giselle came out and introduced herself. We went to her station and had a brief consultation about my goals for my hair and my expectations of this visit. Giselle was very patient and thorough in her explanations, which put me at ease. I can always appreciate someone talking with me about what I want for my hair before proceeding to do anything to it.
I have been natural for about 10 years, though I have only been wearing natural styles regularly for about 2.5 yrs. I had become tired of doing twist sets every week and feeling that I was losing so much hair in the process. Needless to say, I was looking for a something new! Well I found it?Giselle talked me into cutting my ends that were causing so much shedding during washes & my style of choice..COIL OUT (which was new to me). I liked the style and it allowed me to go about 2wks before I had to restyle which was a nice break.
My bill was more than double of what I planned when making the appointment. ? I am just a firm believer that if natural hair needs hydration and the salon subscribes to this belief then hydration treatments should be included into the price of the hair style (which is more than ample). I don?t like having to choose between what a stylist views as necessary hair health & finances.
Giselle did a great job! She really knows & enjoys natural hair and was very engaging. I liked that she wrote up a maintenance plan for me to do between visits which will be a lot because I can?t pay this every two weeks or even once a month.
Overall, great salon, wonderful stylist but overpriced!!
