Dominican Spa and Salon

I made a appointment for 3:30pm. I left work and arrived on time for them to tell me that they are taking walk ins and it will be a very long wait. I reminded her that I had the appointment and she said I know but now we’re taking walk ins! I let her know that I made this appointment and left work to make sure I was on time and she didn’t care.

The owner just observes and doesn’t say a word. I should have never gone back! The first time I went there, the owner did not want to schedule me at all, she kept saying it’s to dry. My hair is not damaged or self maintained, only dry. Margarita stepped in at that time and said she would see me and did a beautiful job.

Today was totally unacceptable, rude and intolerable. I quietly got up to leave and decided there are so many better places to go but I must warn others that you just might not be happy with this salon.

I’ve been here 4 times. First time was okay, I was unimpressed with the trim. The next few times I came it was terrible. Ignore the signs on the door and the hours online. They make up the times they are open. One time they said they were closed at 5pm when I got there after work and the door said 8pm. Another time, they said they would do my hair and not my friends hair, and when my friend came back another day they refused to his hair again. Today was the last straw, I came again at 4:30. Sign in the door closes at 6pm. When I arrived they said they had closed already, there were about 3 other women getting there hair done. I just walked out. I’m convinced they don’t like doing black woman’s hair. DO NOT COME HERE, SERVICE SUCKS.

Excelente el trato y el trabajo mejor,me dejaron el cabello perfecto.

I was visiting in Miami and wanted to take some pictures but needed my hair wash....of course I was really nervous to try out a hairdresser that I was not familiar with. This salon had a decent price and great service. My hair turned out great even though it was really windy on the beach.

La Peluquera Josefina no es nada profesional, quiere quedar bien con todas la clientas y no se puede trabajar asi,le llegan tres clientas y yo que llegue con mis hijas primero que las otras clientas viene a dejarme de ultimo porque las va hacer a ellas primero y hasta me dijo que le lavara la cabeza a mi hija mientras ella hace un blower para eso le hago yo el pelo a mi hija en mi casa y no es la primera vez que me lo hace a mi y se dice que es mi amiga.

Fue mi primera vez con la Sra. Margarita, muy profesional y el cabello tinte y corte me quedó, perfecto

I don't know how I discover it. But I used to work as a director of image for one of the biggest tv stations .

Rosa is the person that has been working in my hair, her job is flawless, beautiful.

I think the prices are reasonable as well. I highly recommed it.

I have naturally curly hair as you can see in the thumbnail. I called and asked if anyone could do my hair after hearing yes walk-ins welcome, I headed over. My hair was washed with shampoo designed for oily hair-most curly hair is dry & you could touch mine to see how dry it was. Minimal conditioner was used after I said I didn't want the deep conditioning. I told her I only had 3 hours to get my hair done. I was asked had I been to a Dominican salon before and answered yes. I had never had anyone NOT comb my hair out with the conditioner in it or at least use detangler. This lady took her detangling brush and started combing my hair from ROOT to END. She had also grabbed her blow dryer in the other hand. She was literally pulling my hair as the bristles got caught and blow drying it with the other hand. I asked her to put something on my hair to help add slip. I was sitting there trying to figure out what to do because I was only in Miami until my next flight. She then grabs a RAT TAIL comb and starts parting and flat ironing my hair. It was still damp and not combed out. I grabbed my comb and Shea butter/coconut oil mix out my bag, against her judgement, and started combing my own hair to prevent her from ripping anymore of my hair off. I had never been to a Dominican salon and not had my hair roller set. I actually googled Dominican Natural Hair and this salon came up-no bueno! She actually had the gall to ask me about clipping my ends. It's a no honey. Note to this salon---when doing a persons' curly hair of African descent (black Americans, Dominicans, Haitians, etc) use moisturizing shampoo, moisturizing conditioner-it doesn't have to be deep conditioned every time, leave-in conditioner, setting lotion, serum or oil, a wide tooth comb or a detangling brush is best for detangling starting at the ends and work your way up to the roots, completely dry the hair before applying a flat iron.
