Very attentive and knowledgeable about Keratin treatments!

Always a lovely experience. Best silk press by Mbali.

Bali is such an exceptional stylist/hair dresser! I felt welcomed and was pampered from the moment I walked in. She and her staff created a luxurious yet laid back vibe that I will definitely not take for granted! I have a very tender scalp and low pain tolerance so I was quite leary of the tension applied to my hair and scalp, yet she created a seamless and artistic set of braids I could not stop smiling and gawking over. Thank you again for a one-of-a-kind experience!
