The salon is a well kept salon, it appears to be immaculate, the music being played is of good taste and like the total ambiance of the salon. Today was my second time, going to the salon, I had stopped yesterday but was told that inorder to get a quote I needed to wash my hair so she can provide me with an accurate estimate for a wash and set. I returned the next day, when I arrived I was greeted by I believe Jen’s assistant she was kind and friendly; she quoted me at $35 yet when Jen the owner arrived she informed her assistant in Spanish that less than $45 she was not going to work with my hair in the Spanish language. I was ok with that price because knowing the amount of hair I have and that it’s in the natural form; I was thinking $45 for NC yeah let’s do it. Where it went wrong was when I asked her specifically and she quoted me at $55 dollars. I thought the products used on my hair were fabulous even though I didn’t recieve any deep conditioner; it left my hair soft, maneagable and smelling nice. I left paying $15 for washing my hair that’s all; she provided me with other alternatives and prices yet at this time I am not able to provide $55 dollars every two weeks for a wash and set; and I am not willing to perm my beautiful locs. This is a good salon, Jen is knowledgable and appears to be helpful; to others I will say definetly give a try; the wash and sets appear to start at $35; coming from NYC and being Dominican myself I will continue to look for what is in my price range and someone who would love to work with my beautiful natural locs.

Hey La Negra,
I submitted the vote for Jennifer Martnez Dominican Hair Salon. Since moving to Raleigh from NYC, it’s been touch and go with my hair. This salon was recommended by a friend so I decided to give it a go. I was in desperate need of a cut after chopping my hair myself (don’t ask). The place wass very clean, large and spacious. I was taken to the shampoo station immediately, so that was good. The products they use were Silica Mix, VERY happy about that. The $40.00 charge also included a deep conditioner as well. Over all I was pretty satisfied with my cut and styling. I would have preferred long layers, as I am accustomed to wearing, but judging from Jennifer’s reaction to that request, I’m not too sure she was comfortable with doing them. She did blow out my hair nicely, paying special attention to the roots and minimal attention to the rest of the hair, less damage is always great, right? My only complaint is that the roller girl kept putting too much hair per roller. My hair is curly and VERY thick, that just doesn’t work for me. I pointed out two times that it was too much hair, but she seemed to think she knew better. It was too early for me to continue arguing, so I let her do her thing. All in all, the overstuffed rollers didn’t take away from my hair drying or the blow out. It’s a good salon, not FABULOUS, but good. I’m going to give Pro-Hair a try next time and can’t wait to report back to you ladies how it works out!
