I went to the Griyn Thumb a month ago to get a trim and cornrows from Narada... to say he saved my hair is an understatement. I waited a month because I wanted to give a in-depth review.
If you're like me, you've had horrible experiences at a salon that caused you to be afraid of going to them. I went to a salon 10 years ago for a detangling and left with matted locs. So I joined YouTube academy and taught myself how to do my hair... only problem is my hair never grew. I was always afraid to touch my ends cause the breakage I would see in the sink would give me a heart attack. My ends always seemed see through. Styles would never last longer than a day. I never knew what my hair felt like moisturized or what healthy hair even looked like besides what people like Naptural85 and Taryn Guy would show. I would get trims from stylist and still see the same problems.
It wasnt until I met Narada that all that changed. The salon was extremely comfortable because the only people in there were the clients who were actually being served. They made me send a picture of my hair beforehand so that I could get an accurate pricing before stepping through the door. Narada answered all my annoying questions about my hair without any kind of attitude throughout my service. The process was so peaceful, I actually fell asleep MULTIPLE times. He showed me that the reason my hair never grew was because all the other stylists I went to missed about 6 inches of damage/split ends/breakage throughout my hair due to it's density. He offered to cut it off little by little, but I trusted him so much, I had no problem telling him to chop it all off then and there.
He then gave me the slickest cornrows I have ever received. My family was shocked. He even went beyond the call of duty to answer any questions I had AFTER the service for product recommendations and styling tips. Before him, my hair would get dry and need remoisturizing every 2-3 days. I am currently on day 9 of a twistout. I would have horrible dandruff by the end of the week, but by switching to products he recommended, I dont see hardly any flakes today which is SHOCKING to me. My hair has a sheen and luster that it never had before. Guys in the gym keep asking me what I'm using. I hardly see any breakage in my comb and paddle brush when detangling and my ends look so healthy and thick. I wish I went to him years ago cause then I would be waist length by now, without a doubt.
I am telling you... go to this salon. If not for anything else, just a consultation and a simple style like a two strand twists. You will see that both Narada and Henny are masters in this field who deserve a lot more recognition. They made me love my hair again and opened my eyes to things I never thought it could do and I know they will do the same for you.
I've attached some pictures of before and after my trim for you to see!
Love, love, love Narada and this salon. Complete and utter professionals and cosmetologist that truly love natural hair and what they do. My appointment took about 3 hours, but I was his only client there and he took his time and blessed me with some true hair jewels. I live in Florida and I will be returning in Dec. for a 6-month trim . I plan on commuting to them as long as they are in business. Thank you for rebuilding my confidence in cosmetologist :)
By far the best hair salon experience I’ve had. I was educated on the problems my hair had doing curly cuts for years. He took his time with my hair. Had a really great experience at the salon. I’m truly happy and grateful for this experience.
Very accommodating, I made a last-minute appointment, and they made it happen, granted I had to follow up, but as I said, it was last minute.
They are very knowledgeable about hair care and it shows.
They are keenly observing your hair throughout the sevice and even your body language to ensure that you are having the best experience.
Honestly, it is the first hairdresser that I have ever been to that has never ripped out my dense 4c Hair, got overwhelmed or annoyed.
I was very grateful for the patience that was shown and the throughness in accessing my hair.
I got an assessment and a trim.
My experience at this salon was amazing. There was no wait and fair pricing. The atmosphere and stylist was welcoming.I will be a returning customer. Thank you Afrikan Hair God, for getting my hair all the way together.
I had a great experience at the salon, the prices were reasonable considering the quality of the service and the climate we live in, and I was able to ask all of my questions about my hair.
Henny was very knowledgeable and took her time during my haircut. Unfortunately my last haircut needed to be corrected and she did a great job. I didn’t get the basic apron cut. She literally went row by row and cut my hair based on the health of the hair.
The style was/is absolutely beautiful. I have not stopped getting compliments. My style is going on a week and I’m sure I can wear it for two weeks if I wanted to.
Special Note: Unfortunately another customer came in sick with a common cold and was coughing and sneezing. The company immediately responded to the issue and had the client reschedule. I was extremely surprised because some companies do not respond at all and or swiftly when it comes to sick customers in the establishment.
I will continue to receive services at this salon. YES, I would recommend the Griyn Thumb Salon.
I had my first visit today at the salon, and I was greeted by both stylists with warm and pleasant vibes. I have been searching for a truly all natural hair salon for over a year, so I was thrilled to find out that this salon was in my neighborhood. I had my consultation with Henny and she proceeded with my service. She was informative providing details as she completed each step. She gave me some good tips on maintaining my hair. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. I'm also excited to see how my hair will begin to flourish under the care of Henny!
Excellent service for a first time visit! Narada did such a great job with washing, conditioning, blow drying and properly assessing my hair to trim any damage. Also, the styling process was so good. He was so gentle with my sensitive, tender-headed scalp. No pulling or tugging ever! The final look is the TRUTH! I’ll definitely be returning! Thanks, Griyn Thumb Salon!
