Dominican Destination Salon

As an African American woman from the East Coast living in Vegas… it is a major challenge to find someone to do your hair! I stopped going to this salon because of a misunderstanding with Andi. She said that she wasn’t doing hair one day despite me coming every week at the same time. So I went to another salon for a few months and she wrecked havoc on my beautiful hair. So I decided I had to go back to Andi. It was necessary or my hair would be ruined! So Andi is really really really good at doing hair. She is gifted. So despite everything I decided to stop by the shop and see if she was available. Maybe that day was just a bad day for her! She was not there but her mother Grimilda was! Grimilda apologized for the misunderstanding and I have been going ever since. I even get compliments on my hair when it’s a week old. The products she uses keeps the hair intact even with me going to the gym 5 times a week. I highly recommend this salon to everyone! Your hair will be done right each and every time. It has so much bounce and your hair will feel heavy because of the body she gives it. Grimilda and Andi are an amazing Mother/​Daughter duo with «gifted hands».

If I was able to give this place more than five stars I would. I made an appointment for my daughter. We showed up to her appointment an hour late due to heavy traffic and getting lost. I called and the person on the phone said no problem, I’ll wait, still come in. When I arrived I greeted by a very friendly woman with a big smile named Andy. I hugged her immediately. I felt bad for being sooo late.
When making the appointment; I had «failed» to tell Andy that my daughter is a natural with medium length hair. I knew it was going to take a while to do my daughter’s hair. Andy looked at her hair and was like «no problem «. I was hesitant, we have been to several salons since moving here from the east coast and at best our hair has been «ok». But I kept an open mind. When making the appointment I did not intended on getting my hair done. Andy looked at my hair and politely suggested that since I have to wait for my daughter that I should consider getting my hair done too. I was thinking wow this is going to take a long time. We are going to be here for at least 4 hours or more. I am so glad I did, it didn’t take long at all for both of us to get a Dominican blowout.
All I have to say is, she went to WORK on my daughter’s hair. Her hair is very thick African American hair and it’s difficult to manage, but Andy did a wonderful job. Afterwards, my daughter loved her hair. Normally, she will have to pick with her hair a little more to achieve the look that she really wanted. She absolutely loved it. She didn’t have to redo or pick with her hair when she got home. This is definitely a first.
I was just as satisfied with my hair as well. Normally I do not wear my hair straight, because it’s natural. I usually wear it curly, but I have to admit, I truly love the way Andy did my hair. We will definitely be going back every two weeks. I really wish I would have found Andy when I first moved to Vegas. I have no intention of going to any other stylist. We laughed and had great conversations the whole time. Andy is the best.
The price was very reasonable. I was also given what to expect if we come very 2 weeks, so no surprises there. All i can say is that in the past, I have paid less and hated it. I’ve also paid double Andy’s price and went home and washed my hair. In the end I was satisfied with the price and results. There are so many more great things I can say. I was really impressed. I look forward to our next appointment.

I have been coming here a few years and she’s AMAZING!!! Regardless of how I have beaten my hair all summer by going to the pool or the water park she makes my hair look so beautiful and healthy every time. She knows what she’s doing and her prices are reasonable!!! Love this salon!

I’ve been a client here for many years and love the care I receive for my hair. Beautiful people and professional.

Came in today to see Grimelda and OMG I’m in love… see pics below! She was very nice & personable and very resonably priced!

My hair was damaged by a previous salon, I came here with hopes of a makeover… help!
More than satisfied, from the hair color, cut, hair washing head massage, to then a deep conditioning treatment. I have been recommending every girlfriend of mine. I love how my hair flows and shines, and most importantly the long lasting finish, sometimes I’ll have it done bone straight or like today with volume!!!

Thank you For keeping my hair looking fabulous!!!

Great service, my hair is very long somewhat almost down to my waist, and Grimilda Gonzalez the owner has taken very good care of it, my hair is usually very thin but with her services over a couple of months my hair is thinker and stronger then ever, the place is nice and kept very clean, played great music and always has toys for my kids to play with while I get my hair done hands down recommended this place to anyone specially if you have deep curly hair. Prices are seriously not an issue when your hair looks great after.

Went to this place because the usual hair salon I go to was closed until March 30^th. To start off, the lady who did my hair asked me if I was having a regular wash, I said yes. While washing my hair I could hear her practically scraping bottles to have enough shampoo and conditioner for my hair, while using packets as well. The end result was decent, however when I asked how much it would cost she told me $ 85, never in my life had I ever been told $ 85 for a wash and blow dry. Her excuse was that I have a lot of hair and she did a deep conditioning, I didn’t even ask her to do a deep conditioning. Mind you my hair barely passes my shoulders and is somewhat thin. I told her that was the most I ever paid, she proceeded to tell me $ 75, then $ 70. I said $ 65 is the most I will pay being that I don’t even have a lot of hair and people with short hair pay $ 45. On top of that, her machine doesn’t even work for credit and told me I could go get cash from an ATM in the plaza. So you expect me to pay $ 85 in a place where I can’t even use my card? I would never recommend this place to anyone it’s overpriced, overrated, dirty and unprofessional.

VERY RUDE!!! I called asking how much a wash/​set plus a trim would be. Her response was no and hung up. So I called back thinking she just misunderstood me and asked if they did wash and set. She said no we don’t wash here. I asked so what do you guys do? She says «hair» and hung up. Idk how they stay in business.

Gris is so good at doing my hair I’m half back and half Japanese and it’s ALWAYS hard for me to find someone that can do my hair right! She does an amazing job. I started coming here 3 weeks ago and now I come once a week. She is a really nice person so not sure why ppl gave her bad reviews about her attitude. I love it here and I’m so glad I found a great hairstylist since moving to Vegas

Hands down! Best Dominican salon in Las Vegas. I posted a review before, this is just a update on my hair growth. All I can says is Dominican Destination is the place to go. Mrs. Glimida; the owner been doing hair for over 30 years. She is very knowledgable and specialized on all hair type. I’m amaze how diverse her cliental is. 6 months ago, I came here. My hair is natural, and was at bra-​strap length but very damage from too much heat used on my hair by a previous stylist (she wasn’t Dominican lol) that I was seeing in California. I wanted to my hair to grow, she cut it into a bobs cut, at first I was very skeptical and sh*#%g bricks at the same time lol. To my surprise, my hair came out really cute! We started a treatment plan, I started coming in every 2 weeks. She has been using authentic hair products from Dominican Republic that she also sell in her salon. A lot of them, I haven’t seen before. I can’t even find them on Google. Using those products along with the roller set has helped my hair to be so much healthy and grow incredibly long!!! I can’t believe how healthy my hair is now! She really does have miracle hands! I’m strongly recommend this place to anyone, it doesn’t matter if you are white, black or asian, or even from Africa. She works on all hair type and she does amazing job!!! I read some of the other reviews regard to her being pricy. I ain’t gonna lie, it’s not as cheap compared to in Dominican salons back coast. I personally think her prices are reasonable, and worth every single dime. But I also understand people are on a budget, and hardship do hit home sometimes. One thing I noticed about Ms. Grimida … is that she very reasonable and I seen her work out price and give special discount. I think if you are honest and up front, she will works with you. Again, check this place out and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Went here on a whim today after finding it on Unilocal (NJ girl here in Vegas dying for a good hair dresser) I figured I’d go in just to get pricing… well I ended up staying & getting my hair done! Andi was there and had 2 other clients ahead of me but was very nice & personable– she managed her time well & handled all of us with care. Prices are higher than what I’m used to on the east coast but worth every dime I paid!
I finally found me a hair dresser & I can’t wait to go back!!!
*i watched her do a color job and it came out AMAZING*

Make sure you get a quote before Andy does your hair. She quoted me $ 45 flat over the phone. Then after she did my hair, she told me it would be $ 100 ! My hair is shorter than shoulder length, so there was no way I was paying $ 100. Also, she charges $ 30 extra for a deep conditioning. I looked the bottle up on Amazon (Boe Jalea Penetre Capilar Regenerador Estimulante) and found it for $ 12 !! Also the $ 300 texturizer she uses I found on amazon for $ 18 (Alter Ego Linange Shea Butter Texturizer). So yea she is overcharging people!

When I pulled up to this shop I saw a women walk out and I said I want whoever did her hair to do mine. It was beautiful had a lot of body, shinny and looked very healthy. I walked in and said just that and the owner Andy said that would be me she was sweet and my hair came out beautiful as well. Definitely will return. This will be my spot from now on.

This review is well overdue but I have to write it. Good service deserves celebrating!!! I went to Vegas last minute the weekend of the Mayweather/​Pacquiao fight and I needed to get my hair done ASAP. I searched Unilocal and found this salon. I read the reviews and I was like ok I’ll try it. I went there straight from the airport and got there a little after 5 and they close at 6. I asked if it was to late and with hesitation Andy asked where was I from, I said NJ straight off the plane. I was so relieved when she said ok come on. She was so nice. She washed my hair and used this great conditioner (so good I really need to know if they sell it, I need it here in NJ). My hair was soft, bouncy and beautiful when she finished. If you are in Vegas or thinking about visiting and need your hair done you MUST go here!

Been to this place 3 times. 2 out of three times, the owners daughter is there with attitude and she does mediocre hair. This place has nothing on the Dominican shops back east and the hair stylists attitudes are disputable to barely be able to do hair and they’re are triple the costs of other local Dominican hair salons. Service is not worth the price. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE !!!

Yo no se que ellas estan hàblando. I don’t know what theses ladies are talking about. I almost missed out in getting my hair done because if the terrible reviews I read about this place. I went only because the other one was closed.
I was 2 minutes late and she had someone in her chair. She politely asked if I don’t mind waiting and she will get to me asap it was no problem I waited about 15 minutes and she attended to me with a smile on her face.
I just took out a sew in so not only was my hair very dirty it was not combed out. She washed my hair and gave me a protein and keratin deep conditioner. As she combed my hair out she was speaking in Spanish she had no idea I understand spanish she says I just love her hair it’s thick and healthy.
She then told me that Dominicans put the hair in rollers that it’s healthier that way
Long story short my hair went from bring as thick as cotton to smooth as silk. and she ended up being a beautiful woman inside and outside.
Ladies before you critic someone of how they treated you please ask yourselves if you were nice and respectful to her because you cannot expect her to kiss your butts. I treated her with respect and that’s exactly what I got back and yes I will be returning!!!

LOVE This Salon. I am African American and have been natural for 3 yrs. It was so hard to find a salon in Las Vegas until I found this place. They did and Excellent job with my hair. It silky smooth and straight with body. My hair looks stunning every time I come here. And it has grown so much. I’m always in and out. The daughter has the perfect hands and technique when it comes to straightening my hair and others. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this place.

GREAT PLACE!!! Hands down best Dominican salon I’ve been to in a really long time. The salon was clean, spacious and well taken care of.
I am a black Latina and was treated with nothing but respect from the time I entered the door. The stylists were very polite and chatty and I didn’t get a racist vibe from either of them so I have no idea what those reviews were talking about. In fact, I have thin and damaged hair and am very used to stylist lecturing me about my sad hair but I didn’t hear a peep from either of them.
The owner’s name is Eddi and she’s very nice and knows a lot about hair. She was fast and knew what my hair needed as soon as I walked in.
The stylist who washed my hair did a great job, three shampoos and deep conditioner and she used Authentic Dominican products that smelled amazing and they sell the same products in the salon. I will definitely come back and am disappointed that I almost didn’t stop in because of the reviews about racist treatment. In the end my hair was clean, smelled great and had the necessary volume needed to stand the Las Vegas sun.

How relieved I was to find out about this shop because of the great job someone did on my sister’s hair. We are African American, I am fluent in Spanish, my sister is not. At any rate the ‘owner’ ‘Cruella ‘said disrespectful, inconsiderate and just hateful things about everything and everyone in my family from my children, to their father and even complained about me not tipping her over the $ 75 she charged for my daughter’s hair. In spanish she said yeah, 75 no more no less. SHE IS VERY LUCKY I PAID HER AT ALL.
Oh and the owner ‘Cruella’ really charges $ 40 for garlic cream and miscellaneous products that can only be found in the Dominican Republic. or online for 5 bucks. Every sense I had was insulted by this place. The only thing stopping me from some dramatic Tyler Perry scene was my kids watching me. I wanted to tackle this broad.
At any rate, like a previous poster suggested, unless you understand spanish I AM WARNING YOU don’t go to this salon unless you too have some severe form of self hate like the owner who is African too (but don’t tell her) and enjoy being disrespected in a serious way. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Unprofessional, disrespectful and completely unappreciative. I was EXCITED to get there only to be let down. If only I checked with Unilocal first. Oh well… btw the owner never told me her name, it was just I’m the owner, but she was very clear about showing her huge puppies in a low cut too small dress. It would’ve been completely fine for her to hide the puppies… ew.
Disgusted and disgusting.
