“The atmosphere from Maty & Mom was so warm and welcoming! They allowed me to bring my baby and treated us like family, making me feel comfortable as a FTM. Not to mention, they even took him off my hands for a while. On top of their phenomenal work, they are phenomenal people. I’ll definitely be back!”
“New to the area and came across this shop on google. I called and asked did they service clients with Alopecia. I am very self conscious with my hair and was pretty scared but Maty mad me feel comfortable during our conversation. She responded quickly and was prompt throughout my experience! My Service was 10/10 Nice Calm good people that was patient with my type of hair. And tucked my braids so well you can barely tell I have alopecia!! Thank you Mom and Maty definitely will be back again”
“Very professional salon from the very first interaction via text message inquiry. Maty responded to my inquiry that same day and provided me with her price list for the services I was interested in. I scheduled a small knotless braids style and Maty and her mom did an amazing job on my hair at a fair price. I will definitely be returning to their salon.”
“I absolutely love how everything came out. Maty did my hair, I had a same day appointment which I truly appreciated it. She was so sweet, easy to talk to and made sure I was good throughout the entire process and she was finished in a timely manner. 10/10 recommend.”
“I have been looking here for quite some time. and the hair stylists working here do very good work. You can get your hair cleaned and done. and the women are easy to work with! They’re not difficult at all”
