Yole Beauty Salon

I like that they open early, their hours are extended from 9am to 7pm. All the other black salons around the area likes open around noon (CP time much?) I got the best wash ever from the woman who seems to run the place. The prices for a wash are steal too, I think she has a special for wash and sets between Monday and Wednesday so that’s a plus– I only noticed the Dominican salons do that. As for everything else, such as hair cutting, weaving, twisting locks it seems pretty mediocre. They get the job done but I don’t love it. I really like their focus on actual hair care rather than only aesthetics (be prepared for them to offer tons of treatment options for your hair, which can definitely pad on the bill.) Good thing I didn’t really need one. I will definitely come back for their thorough, therapeutic hair washes — everything else I’m not sure about
Update: At first I was gonna give her 3 stars for the ok service but I just realized she burnt the crap out of the back of my ear. Someone had to point that out to me– I knew she caught me with iron for a second but I didn’t think I’d scar so badly. I guess that’s the risk you take with having short hair. –_​_​–

Owned and operated by Haitian women, the experience at this salon is as if you’ve taken a trip right back to Haiti. It helps that the salon is just a few doors down from a Haitian restaurant. If you’re of Haitian descent like myself, then you’ll feel right at home and able to engage in conversations with the clientelle or stylists held in Creole. If not, you’ll be just fine as well because they’re generally friendly. I’ve gotten a few washes and perms, then had my hair trimmed after I decided to go natural and leave the creamy crack aka perm. It’s easily accessible by train or bus which I liked. I switched from my previous salon because it was located closer to my job and I could swing by after work, but it did tend to get crowded with just 3 – 4 stylists working at one time. Somehow, I always managed to be the last client of the evening.
