Zikomo’s Barber Shop & Beauty Salon

I have short hair and went to Nikki for styling. I was completely natural with self-​dyed hair. Nikki was extremely friendly and easy to talk with. It’s been almost 5 years since I have been in a professional shop to get hair care. I had been natural for almost 4 ½ years. It was explained to me that Nikki does not do natural hair (but there is a woman in the shop that does style natural hair, but I do not remember her name). Before setting an appointment for Nikki I had already made the decision for myself that I wanted to get a perm, so Nikki not working on natural hair was not an issue for me. I wanted a perm because my hair is so short I wanted a softer look.
My first visit with Nikki started very well (even though she was a little late to the appointment and I was her first client for the day) and I thought it was well understood how I wanted my hair styled. I was not 100% satisfied with my final style; however, I received a grand scale of compliments. I believe I just had a few personal reservations because like I said this was the first time in 5 years that I was letting a professional tend to my hair. I assume there was a misunderstanding to how I wanted my hair curled. The perm itself was AMAZING! My hair has not laid down like that since I don’t l know when. And even days later when I washed my hair at home, it was still very soft and straight.
The texture of my hair after Nikki styled it was great. My hair was not crunchy but instead the curls were on point and soft to the touch.
I have been to Nikki again since my first visit. Her and I a chance to discuss the last visit and I expressed my desire for fine tune adjustments to the styling. Nikki hit it on the head for the style I wanted for my hair this time. I will definitely go back to her again and I look for to playing around with colors and weave styles with her. I live in the community and always try to support in the community, so I am grateful to have stammered across this gem.
The only pointer I would suggest to a new client for Nikki is a photo that really captures the way you want your hair to be styled.
