| - I got to the salon about 12:20 on a Saturday afternoon. There were plenty of customers, but I was still able to sit down and get helped right away.
My stylist was Angie. She was very careful to make sure she was gentle with me and my ratty hair. She also thoroughly explained the different services that I was interested in. I heard the owner (I believe it was her) tell Angie to make sure that I was OK, comfortable, and that I was aware of different prices for different services. I actually came out looking pretty darned cute (I'm too short to be "hot"). I got tons of compliments on my hair and my eyebrows (Angie did both).
The hair prices were reasonable for a salon in general but a bit high for the Charlotte Dominican Salon standard (which I gather from my previous experience at another salon and from my Dominican friends yelling at me for paying so much). Perhaps it was because of all the other services offered? I have never seen eyebrows for only $6 anywhere else though, so that is a definite plus for them. Remember to stop by an ATM on the way though. It's cash only here.
Anything you want done, you can get it done here; highlights, cuts, perms, relaxers, eyebrows, manicures, pedicures... There were men and women, black people, white people, latin people... it was like a sequel to the Red House commercial. I was just waiting for Angie to tell me she liked pumping rollers into people's heads.
The women were definitely more amicable than the men, but everyone (except for one woman) shot me at least one smile. I will definitely go back even if only for the eyebrows.
