New Merrick Beauty Supply

Yet another location in the black community that devalues the black dollar! If you have zero integrity then patronize these people. You will be followed and aggressively told not to touch anything. It seems we are good enough to obtain money from but not to be trusted.
Dear owners, please stay out of our community if you can’t give us the respect we deserve! Thank you!
Don’t patronize these people please!

If it were possible to give less than 1 star to this place, I would. To say I was treated rudely would be a gross understatement. I went in to get a daily moisturizing cream for my hair (on the day of my wedding, no less). Because my hair is very thick, lighter creams are ineffective. As I walked through the aisles searching for hair grooming products COMPLETELY UNASSISTED, one of the clerks began following me. I dont even want to dignify the implication of that act. Thinking that this must be my imagination, I picked up a tube of cream and attempted to merely look under the cap to check consistentcy. At that point, a clerk PEARCHED on a LADDER hollered at me «Do Not Open! You Do Not Open!!!» Unbelievable. Had anyone bothered to offer me any assistance, I wouldn’t find it necessary to sift through creams on my wedding day. Furthermore, you do not raise your voice or take that tone with a customer. Even if they are handling merchandise in a manner you are uncomfortable with, you go to them discreetly and express your concern respectfully. Needless to say, I would never darken the doorstep of this establishment again and recommend others avoid it altogether.

OK, I try not to write totally horrible reviews but that’s how I was treated today. I went into this beauty supply store to purchase Mizani shampoo and conditioner. After I did that, I walked around and made my way to the lace front wigs. My friend and myself began to laugh at how odd they looked. Then I noticed that I was being followed. So I said to the person following me, «I hope I’m not being followed». His response was «don’t touch the merchandise». Excuse me? If I wanted to try it on, that would be cool tho because I’d have to pay your monkey ass a dollar to do so. I looked, blinked, gave him the side eye and left.
I don’t fancy being profiled… in the least. And if you are going to follow me, at least ask me if I need help. Don’t just walk behind me. I don’t steal. I have no need to. And def, not a synthetic wig!!! If you open a store in the neighborhood, understand who your customers are. I’m putting it out there and I’ll make sure I NEVER step foot in again. And neither will my friends who gave you business in the past!
