We went to Simply Sp-Riffik on two separate occasions. Neither time was good. The first visit, I took a very clear photo of the hairstyle we had requested over the phone. The stylist did a completely different style, without asking me first. But it was still cute, so I didn’t complain. However, the lady who did the braiding caused my poor child SOOO much pain, and didn’t care! Also, this is VERY bad for the scalp & hair — a child will grow up and become a woman with a receding hairline if you pull hair this hard. I asked as nicely as I could for them to go a little easier — I told them that it’s OK if the braids don’t last as long. But it didn’t make any difference — she still pulled her hair a LOT! Two other girls in the chairs next to ours were also crying the whole time! The second time, I sent my child to Spa-Riffik with my husband. He showed them a photo of the previous style that Spa-Riffik had done, and asked them to do it again. Unfortunately, my husband then sat down in another part of the salon and read a book, so he didn’t realize, until her hair was more than half done, that they were doing nothing REMOTELY like our photo! They put her long hair into about 6 wide cornrows, going all the way back to the very nape of her neck and then straggling down from there. She looked just like a boy! He complained, but they said this was«cornrows,» and«this is the style that we do here.» End of story. Also, our daughter was crying… he asked the lady to please be much more gentle, but she still pulled too hard. We will NEVER go back here. They market the salon as being a positive experience for young African-American girls to feel good about their hair, but this salon provokes the exact opposite reaction — they make it traumatic for the children and don’t care. Shame on them.

Took Daisy Troop there. They had a blast. This is a day spa for kids. Everyone had a cute hairstyle, kids manicure and kids pedicure. They each got glitter eyes and personal hand lotion to make and take home. I was not expecting them to give real manicures and pedicures. It was very child appropriate. All of the girls were very happy, from the tom boyish to the very prissy of the group. I have since taken my daughter back for a blow dry and press. They do a great job and she loves going there. Going back today in preparation for Grandparents Ruby(40th) Anniversary party. It is always nice to have a place to take your daughter to that she can call her own.

I took my niece here during Spring Break and the service and experience was poor. The price paid is not worth the service. They do not give them a real manicure and pedicure… It is a total rip off… She only got a pedicure and I took her across the hall to the nail salon to get a real manicure.
