Walk-In Weaves

So I guess this is my second full sew-​in. This time my wonderful stylist Jaz recommended at closure which I was a little afraid of but it turned out perfect! They only do weaves so as far as that goes I can only imagine Jaz touching my hair I just know it’s going to turn out perfect and gorgeous every time. Amber braids perfectly and your hair is flat and everything it should be to have a great end product. The guy at the front desk Tye even puts up with my sarcastic jokes most of the time it’s cool I don’t see a need to go anywhere else very happy with my service here. My only word of advice is it’s kind of busy on Saturday so if you can go during the week you will get in and out in no time.

I HAVE NO EDGES BECAUSE OF THIS «HAIR SALON». I’ve visited this place about 3 times and I’m not sure why I even decided to come back because my first experience wasn’t all that great.
First Experience: I had my hair washed and braided. The young lady washing my hair left tons of shampoo in the back of my head and I didn’t realize until my hair was almost completely braided. I touched the back of my head to see how much longer the stylist would have and all I felt were suds. The environment when walking in is a little suspect because I got attitude from not only the girl braiding my hair but basically everyone else in there. The young lady braided my hair pretty well so I forgave the shampoo incident.
Second Experience: My hair was braided horribly, even one of the stylists came up to the young lady braiding my hair and in the most and said «that looks really bad». Gee thanks. My braids didn’t even last 2 weeks because the stylist «mistakenly» forgot to add synthetic hair to the braids. Still don’t know why I decided to give them one more chance. Probably because they’re prices are really low.
Third Experience: the environment was a little better, less people. They had no hair braiders that day and proceeded to talk about how the braiders keep quitting due to low pay. Very very unprofessional. The young lady running the front desk had to braid my hair due to lack of staff. The braids were so darn TIGHT ;that I thought I was going to pass out. My scalp went numb after a while which is how i was able to continue with this torture. Still don’t know why I stayed! She braided my edges so tight they fell out as I un-​braided my hair less than a week later. I couldn’t take it. She didn’t listen to me when I told her how I wanted my hair done and literally braided my hair the way SHE wanted to. My scalp was sore for another week after. I’m in so much distress about this experience that I doubt I will let another soul touch my natural tresses. I’ve lost so much hair since using this company. They don’t detangle correctly, the woman braiding my hair this time ripped knots out with her fingers and out of shear laziness did not want to blow dry my hair first. Think twice about leaving your hair in the hands of a place that has prices this low. Never again.

I just went to get my sew in during my lunch break. I was in and out in an hour and a half. Fastest weave ever, and they did a great job. It’s a weave shop, ladies. Manage your expectations. They are good at what they do. There may not be a lot of small talk or smiles, but who cares? (by the way, they were nice to me and I was nice to them). They get the job done and they do it fast! I will defintely be back.

Do not ever go to this weave shop location! in fact I wouldn’t bother with any of these locations I would just pay a «real» stylist big bucks to do my weave. But if you are on a budget and don’t want to spend a lot. I suggest you go elsewhere.
On to my experience… this is the most ghetto ratchet hair salon I have ever been to! I arrived at 9:30 (the website says they open at 9:00, they open at 10:00) so I waited for them to open, when I got in a few of the women had attitudes! Upon walking in the receptionist ask what I wanted and I told her but when I got back to the hair styling area the stylist and braiders wanted to convince me of adding more of this unnecessary stuff so they could charge me more.
Anyway I let the braider braid my hair and moved on to the stylist. When the stylist was sewing in the weave I noticed something different about her motion, I’m not familiar with how to sew a weave in but compared to people who had done my hair in the past, her motion just appeared to look very odd!
It took about a hour and 45 mins to get done, when I got home I checked to see just how tight she had done my hair. When I looked around the edge of my hair I saw a tiny braid and 3 tracks attached to it, putting stress on my edges!
Looking at my hair more and more as time passes I have ultimately decided that my hair was done too tight and too much stress was put on my edges and I do not want to lose them! I am going to take this weave out ASAP! These women in this shop do not care about the health of your hair when installing a weave! All they care about is making a dollar in the process! Do not go here unless you voluntarily want to be bald!

I rushed from Johns Creek to the Atlanta business. The stylist said you need to be here by 5:30 if you want to be able to purchase that hair and be the last customer. I made it through the worst traffic in America and was excited because they were the only shop that had that texture of hair. Finally my turn had arrived. I was braided and he brought out the hair. I told him that’s not curly he said it was. The other lady said no it’s not. He admits that he had been sling it as curly and it was actually body wave. I was soo upset. I had to purchase hair that I didn’t want and I was rushed while people continued to walk in way after the time I was told. Never again!

I give this salon one star bc the braider was the only nice one to me. Otherwise they would have negative stars if that was possible. I called ahead of time && I asked if they would be able to do my sew in by a certain time && they said they would have me done way before the time I requested. Not only did they not have me done but they were extremely rude && were blatantly talking about me right in front of my face. I have never felt so disrespected or had such rude customer service in my life. I will never go back there. It was an ignorant sewer && mind you she called herself mad so she sewed my tracks extremely tight and thought it was funny. Then she barely straightened the hair that I had left out && she did not straighten the back of my hair and put a large clump of water wax in the front of my hair trying to be funny. She was extremely ignorant and I will never give them my service ever again.

It was an ok experience. I didn’t have to wait long which was a plus. I parted my hair the way I wanted and left out what I wanted, but I think the braider braided what I didn’t want included and I didn’t know that until I left. I think the braids may be a little too big/​wide but I’ll be able to tell in about two months… the sew in is a little bulky and not flat on the right side from where the weft was folded incorrectly…

I like the hours and the service from my guy Jazz. But the day I was there one stylist was going ham on the shampoo girl in front of customers! She even called the owner Mia. Drama — idk why they couldn’t have Done all that ugly in the back room! We are trying to be beautiful people! Really …

This is my third time here and I’m addicted! I get exactly what I ask for and the stylists are so nice. Everyone is professional and efficient. Check them out!

HORRIBLE! Not only are they unprofessional but they really just don’t know what they are doing. The inexperienced lady that braided and cut my hair didn’t put the robe on me and the hair got all over my clothes and purse and only after I began to wipe off the hair did she put the robe on me. She seemed like she had an attitude and began to braid my hair as tight as she could (too tight) to the point where it gave me a headache.
Then when it was time to get my hair done the lady stood up there texting on her phone… on and off and I had somewhere to be. She then put my sew in extremely tight. My skin was pulling all around the edges and I felt nothing but extreme pain and couldn’t even turn my head comfortably. It took a total of ¾ hours just to put in a simple, long, straight sew-​in because they were texting or talking or laughing and gossiping in the front of the store.
I went home and waited days for the sew in to loosen up but it did not I couldn’t sleep at all for 6 days because the sew in was too tight. I soon noticed a huge knot in the back of my head, neck pain, and bumps all around the edges of my hair I called them to complain and she said there’s nothing she could do they’re not responsible. I was furious. Money wasted. The tracks are already slipping. I will NEVER EVER go back to this cheap, ratchet, unprofessional, amateur salon again.

I LOVE this Shop! I just went there for the second time. My first sew-​in lasted a long time– no issues. The staff was polite and friendly. I got a very nice vibe from the staff & even customers (not a big factor but noted). I just went again on yesterday. Again, the receptionist was friendly and welcoming. The vibe was warm and friendly. I requeted the same stylist «Jazz» he did a great job! I plan on coming here again again and again.

Visit Date: August 17, 2011
I’ve lived in Atlanta for 14 months and I’ve yet to find a salon to call home. I had a weekend getaway sprung on me and «needed my hair done!» I was sick and desperate! Lol I combed through CL, Unilocal,and the YellowBook. While driving on Piedmont, I took a chance and visited Weave Express to have my natural hair (4A) and Kinky Curly (Virgin Brazilian) hair straightened.
Upon entering the salon I noticed it was clean and robes wear hanging with logos on them. The reception area is small and a little right. The manager is respectful. She explained how this salon’s «a la carte» services worked because my hair had already been sewn in. When I explained that my hair was kinky curly but I wanted it straightened she seemed puzzled and explained that it may not get straight! I silently gasped. The bar was set pretty low then. She explained I would need a «BLOW DRY» and «FLAT IRON» and quoted these a la carte services at $ 45.
I was given a robe, seated immediately, and introduced to Yolanda. She was pleasant, young, and had a big, bright smile!
She walked up, immediately plugged up a Babyliss Flat Iron and asked me if my hair was clean. (This particular salon is NOT a «Weave Shop». They are a full-​service salon. They do wash hair and all the stylists are licensed.) At any rate, she opted NOT to wash my hair. She noted quietly how tangled my hair was. (Curly hair she decided not to wash! Hair 101: Detangle curly hair when wet with a cream or conditioner!)
Moving along, her manner was pleasant. She was chatty and cheerful. She detangled with a paddle brush and began to flat-​iron. She never used a blowdryer. She never plugged one in.
The press she did on my hair was beautiful. I decided to get the ends trimmed as well as cut it into a style. (This a la carte service was priced at $ 25.)
All was well, I liked my hair and the cut. She walked me up front with my tab card with my name and a la carte services listed. She checked the «Flat Iron» and «Detailed Cut» boxes originally. I watched. This was her «first mind» at work. She immediately scratched it out and checked «Blow Dry/​Flat Iron» «Basic Cut» boxes. This brought the price of my services to $ 60.
The services that were rendered to me: A Detailed Cut: $ 25 and a Flat Iron: $ 25.
I was charged for: Blow Dry/​Flat Iron: $ 45 and a Basic Cut: $ 15.
This bait and switch brought my total $ 10 higher.
Again, a blowdryer was never turned on. Period. There was nothing basic about my cut. I had bangs cut and as well as layers. I felt and still feel she knew EXACTLY what she was doing. Her demeanor changed, she didn’t say thank you and immediately scurried to the back. In short, Yolanda gouged my services!
The manager said, $ 60. I gave her $ 60, with no lip. I got change and gave Yolanda a $ 10 tip. She was NOT expecting it. I could tell. I’m unsure if they receive many tips here. (I hope I didn’t come off as the cheap type either. I worked in service for years, I always tip!)
I hope the owner of the salon sees this review. I enjoyed the salon. I would call it home, even though it’s gimmicky. It was great until the end. I hope this type of dishonesty isn’t encouraged. This issue of charging me for services that were not rendered took this salon from a 4 star to a 2 star. :/​
Because of that bait and switch, I won’t be back. I won’t refer any of my newly transplanted or college friends. It was just $ 10, but it was so unfortunate. I take my hair and money seriously!
Again, my hair looks great, the flat-​iron was hot, and my press is still hanging on 6 days later!
Good Luck Weave Express… You’re gonna need it!

I visited this place for the first time, referred by a co-​worker and while my style came out nicely and I do agree that the service was great and quick, overall success was a failure. Yolanda did do a great job of listening to my concerns regarding the thin sections of my hair and ensuring I was comfortable with the style, however about 2 weeks later, I found one very long loose string and over the course of a few days later, the style ultimately, began to unravel. The sewing was just not properly done, the reason for which I will not return to the salon.
My advice is that if you do go, take a friend to watch over to ensure the sewing is done properly and securely. Now that I think about it, maybe I was able to get in and out so quickly because the proper time was not taken to secure the weave.

So I went to the one in Buckhead (I think) and the ambiance was nice. The people were pleasant and my stylist was fierce (Dan). The reason I am giving it 3 stars is because: I got color and the technician didnt leave it on long enough and it didnt take. Not only did it not take, she didnt even advise me that it didnt take. Only when my girlfriend advised me of such, was I aware. They didnt charge me for the color… obvi. Also, now that the hair is a couple of weeks old, and I have had my actual stylist, style my hair was I told that not enough hair was left out to cover the frontal track. I am pissed. Needless to say, I will be taking this out after a month and I doubt that I will go back to the Weave Express.
Unfortunately, in this instance, you really do get what you pay for.
