A Hair Studio

I decided to write this review in progress. That is if there is any progress I am on the verge of walking out. My apt was scheduled for 9am with Toni. Presently it’s 9:41 and I am still sitting in the chair waiting while she attends to other clients. Obviously over booked. I really need to get my weave tightened for the weekend or I would have left already.
10:25 sitting with color in my hair for 40 minutes. Hope to get washed and proceed to next step soon. Been here an hour and a half.
Toni did a good job styling my hair and tightening my weave. I guess I just didn’t plan on spending 3 ½ hours in the salon and then having to drive across the street to use the bank machine because her square was not uploaded on her new phone. Perhaps there are things going on that I am unaware of and I always give people the benefit of the doubt. Not sure yet if I would go back.

OMG!!! I was in desperate need of a makeover — I had not had my hair professionally done since last October and had been wearing it in a natural hairstyle since February of this year. I searched Unilocal as I am new to the Las Vegas area and had no clue as to where to turn. I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical because of the so-​so rating but my fears were completely unfounded. I called and was transferred to Mary who told me she could take me if I were to come right away.
Five minutes later, I was in her very capable hands. I stated I wanted highlights, two tracks added in and a wash and press. After looking at the disaster that was my ‘do, Mary washed me out to remove the built-​up product I had in my hair, thus ensuring my highlights would take. After checking to make sure I was okay w/​the color, she washed and conditioned me before blowing my hair dry. I was then braided up for the two tracks I wanted added for just a little volume. She flat-​ironed my now-​straightened hair, then expertly styled me. I was sooooo pleased with the results and will DEFINITELY be going back to visit my new stylist!!!
To the person who had a less-​than-​stellar experience, I recommend you see Mary!!!

I have been living in Las Vegas for 2 years, but settled on just doing my own hair because I have always been afraid of letting someone new touch my hair. And then one day I was tired of it. My hair wasn’t working with me, it seemed ultra thick. I needed to find a hairdresser.
I drove around Las Vegas looking for a hair salon that specializes in African American hair. I found AHS and spoke with Toni about pricing and services. She seemed nice, and HER hair was beautiful, so that made me feel more at ease. She was available to take me right away.
Another stylist washed and blow dried my hair, and we chatted a bit. She was friendly as well (I can’t remember her name). Toni straightened my hair, first she pressed my edges and roots, then she flat ironed my hair and my hair was soft and bouncy when she was done. She trimmed my ends as well, and I later saw that my hair was still a bit uneven, but I asked for a trim, not a cut so I didn’t fault her for that.
When she was done with my hair, I was happy. I thanked her for her time and even tipped her. Totaling $ 80 out of my pocket.
So why only 2 stars?
After a week (which is normal for me) I had to wash and straighten my hair again. I’d rather go to a shop once a month, and maintain my hair in between that time so I’m not spending $ 300 a month on my hair. But anyway, to get back to the point… In the mist of me parting my hair to begin the flat ironing process, I noticed there’s a big portion of my hair missing in the back from being BURNED OFF.
I know it could be pretty scary telling a client that you just burned their hair off, but being a professional, there are multiple ways you can admit that, while still diffusing the problem. «I’m sorry, I didn’t know your hair was sensitive to high heat, I can take off $ 40 bucks or half of the price for my mistake» is one way. Hair grows back, mistakes happen. But don’t just let a customer walk out oblivious to the fact that some of their hair is gone, ESPECIALLY when they believe they’re satisfied and even tipped for a job well done.

Conveniently located in the Smith’s shopping center plaza. Managed to get in a haircut, hairstylist was friendly, attentive and was pleasantly surprised at the service. Looking forward to my next trim.
