Cynthia came throughhhhhhh 🤗. I received so many compliments on my hair, she was able to complete the style in no time, there were no surprises when it came time for me to pay, and I loved loved loved my twists. Everyone I encountered in the salon was welcoming and genuinely nice. A definite win in my book.
Goddess Knotless Braids Mid Back with human hair - by stylist Danielle. My experience here was absolutely amazing so this will be a long review. Firstly, it took forever to chose to book because I’ve only had 3 braiders in my life and I’m new to Chicago. 5 stars for Communication. The booking site was easy to understand once I decided what I wanted and I was able to ask a ton of questions by text. Adjustments were also made to the human hair when I got there to ensure I got the finish I expected. 5 Stars for Professionalism The add ons, modifications etc were reviewed with me and I knew my total cost before my appointment so there were no surprises. The salon is clean and runs like a well-oiled machine! I’ve never seen so many stylists, services, hair types, conversations going on in one salon, without chaos. I watched the owner Lilitha go from chair to chair assisting her team in a respectful and supportive manner. I was really impressed by the teamwork. 5 stars for Customer Service My previous braiders are solo stylists, not in a huge salon so I didn’t think I’d get that “personal touch” here. Well, I was wrong! I didn’t arrive with hair blown out like it needed to be but they took care of it without making me feeling like I inconvenienced anyone. I was given a standing tray table to keep my belongings beside me, and a lap desk for my laptop do work (I got not one assignment done!) I was so relaxed. I ordered my food online, which was delivered to my chair and I was able to eat comfortably while my hair was being done. 5 Stars for Artistry Most importantly, my hair turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it to and I must attribute that to each aspect of my experience. My style took 9 hours but it didn’t feel like it. Danielle’s little fingers moved smooth and steady, there was no tugging and weird contortions of my neck. I could care less about the time. The talent and skill of my stylist Danielle is top-tier. I am beyond happy and will be graduating medical school looking and feeling like a Goddess. Thank you to the owner Lilitha, Danielle and the entire ENVYME Team. I already picked my next style. I will be back! 🙏🏽
The Braiders do great work but every time I book an appointment there’s always an issue. I booked for next week and I got a text today asking to change the date and time. Although they reached out in advance if the time worked for me I would’ve booked it. I can never just book and the appointment goes as planned. The last few times my appointment was pushed back which threw my entire day off. There was also a time where I had to change the date and time due to website issues, that has nothing to do with me. I’ve tried to give this shop multiple Chances but I will go elsewhere at this point.
I love the braiders. They are GREAT. I go to this place often, but I am NOT a fan of how the owner tries to overcharge and sneak in additional cost when you don’t book through the website. I normally get knotless braiders. I got stitch braids this time and was charged $30 just because my hair is thick. So, you charge people more money because of the way their hair naturally grows out of their head is ridiculous! But okay fine charge an additional $10 since your so money hungry but to charge $30 is absolutely ridiculous! Again, I love the braider, but that some mess and exploitation. And I’ve been there several times and was never charged that fee. The owner thinks she is sleak. I made the appointment with her via text and not the website. She doesn’t give you all charges when she texts you. But tries to sneak them in while doing your hair. I hate slick people who don’t have good business practices. I will never be back.
I’m going to put 5/5 because I have never trusted a Salon before this one they ask you questions it is friendly in there really comfortable I have been going since December of 2021 I go every 3 or 4 months for a trim and silk press my hair has become more healthier this is definitely life changing they made me think it’s time to start taking care of your hair and every since then I have been taking care of it with the help of them of course. 100% recommend you definitely will be coming back for more
