Mama’s Sunshine Treasures

Love the aroma! Came for the mama’s mud whip since I heard so much about it. I’m excited to try it. Service was great!

Finally found someone who understands that a natural hairstyle can and should be sexy and stylish. A bonus is the variety of Awesome hair and skin products that are available! Loving Mama Sunshine!

I just happened to be walking down the street and found this gem of a place. I have been looking for a natural hair salon for quite a while and so glad I stopped in. I initially went in to get more information and before I knew it, I was in Mama Sunshine’s chair. A hair consultation lead to a much needed trim which lead to a styling. I learned so much about how to properly care for my hair, what products work best and how to style it. Mama Sunshine went above and beyond my expectations. She took the time to answer all of my questions and helped me feel confident about how to manage my hair. Her level of knowledge is priceless! I walked out looking like a million bucks. This place is a refuge for every natural girl and I HIGHLY recommend her Mama’s Mud Whipp deep conditioner (my new favorite product). I’m a client for life!

Customer service was great. The man who assisted me was knowledgeable of the products. I found Shea Butter, Black Soap, hair moisturizer, and body oil. I was impressed with the service and the variety of products.

I love everything about this store! Great customer service! Great Shea butter. If you have not tried the mud whip please do so. If you have natural hair there are products designed just for you!
All natural no chemicals. The way I like it!
I will be returning and telling a friend!

Just left this little gem of a shop. Met Mama and Papa, bought some wonderful «Mama’s Mud Whipp» organic hair food! Everyone should check them out, support local business, enjoy great company, & leave with a smile!

I was pleased with the customer service. I would recommend this business to my friends and family. I tried the Shea butter rub and black soap which I really liked. That make your feel at home when you enter in my opinion.

Everyone minus the young boy working as a shop assistant had an attitude at this place.
I decided to stop by in search of some emu oil. Upon entering this shop, I was greeted by a nice kid who wanted to show me some shea butter. Before he even reach the jar, the store owner (mind you this guy had chicken bits hanging from his mouth) comes over all wild eyed says «Don’t just look, we black people love to look but never support. I have stuff for a quarter and you wouldn’t think twice on dropping a dime for the white man’s products.» Before I could even gear up for a smart ass reply, he continues on by saying «I bet you shop at Old Navy and Vons up the street but you won’t support me. I’m doing what I can to support the black man, what about you?».
I politely replied by saying «I am a Preschool teacher of 10 years at a very cultured center in the city of Inglewood. I help shape the minds of some of the most beautiful Ebony, Brown and Ivory babies that you ever seen daily», and walked out.
Will I ever return to this place, NO! And I hope the owner reads this. Old bizarre FOOL!

I went into this store because I didn’t have any change for the meter; one of the store employees gave me change and asked me to come back and look around. When I did they were extremely courteous and helpful. I bought a shirt and some cute stackable rings. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for cute flirty accessories, tank tops or Shea butter products to stop in!

Great scented products; very poor customer service and attitude. I went in yesterday at the suggestion of a friend to speak about artwork. I didn’t intend to buy anything, but I did so to support this budding business. However, while I compared prices from other stores and commented on the limited amount of product– that’s what customers usually do– the lady came up to me and wanted to take the jar from me. She literally said, «You can give me that, or are you buying it?» While I spoke with the sales guy, she came from nowhere, butted in and made it clear she was offended. Business owners cannot wear their feelings on their sleeve. The products were actually very enticing, but they get 3 stars for the owner not knowing how to handle her personal emotions and be professional. If you’re going to spend your money here, be sure to keep your mouth shut.
UPDATE: I went back to this small store today for one of the scents I enjoyed. I was willing to bury yesterday’s experience and recognize this lady for her great product. She did not say anything when I entered, and when I asked about the item, she was a smart aleck while sarcastically pointing out she has a «small» jar left. She goes from 3 stars I originally gave to 2. You can’t sell even a fabulous product with poor temperament.

Friends, I highly recommend visiting «Mama’s Sunshine Treasures» on Market Street, close to La Brea and Manchester in Inglewood. You can’t miss it with its bright yellow sign as parking is easily found on the street. When you enter, you walk in enveloped with the aroma of sweet incense. You’ll be greeted by owner Joya Settle, eager to show off her wares with a smile, available to answer any questions. As you look to your left, you’ll find homemade Body Butter that Joya’s made in a variety of flavors and I really love the Lavender scent that I purchased!
Additionally, you’ll find Joya’s Homemade oils in flavors such as Honeydew, Cotton Candy and Red Velvet. They’re all bottled and labeled by Joya herself. You’ll also find her incense sticks with amazing artwork labels that her Fiancé Carone designed and that she colored in – apparently a collector’s item!
The rest of the Shop is stocked via local Artisans who have created Jewelry of many styles, bottlecap pins. woven purses, and even toys! Superman, anyone? I particularly enjoyed the Michelle Obama plastic dolls. You’ll also notice the artwork lining the perimeter of the walls that Joya has created and displays proudly!
If there’s anything anyone can take away from «Mama’s Sunshine Treasures,» it’s a sense of community. Not only from all the Vendors that the store spotlights, but the community meetings held there to create Economic growth and well-​being between its neighbors. Definitely a store worth visiting! :)
