I had my hair touched by Joy. I love how it turned out. My hair has never been so shiny. I especially loved how she started a treatment for my scalp and didn't make me feel less. Getting great service and knowledge of the what to do and how to do's awesome. Going to start going more. Go into this very clean, relaxing, positive energy environment. Get blessed by Joy.
I went to Joy for very basic hair needs: wash, deep condition, blow-dry, trim, and a protective braid-down. Upon calling to make the appointment, I was pleasantly surprised by Joy's inquiry to my hair history. It seemed she was genuinely invested in my hair journey before I even booked the appointment. This is appreciated. I was, however, taken aback by the price I was given for the basic hair services I listed above ($150). I know there are other salons and independent stylists who would have done it for much less. The only reason I proceeded was because of timing. Given the price, expected to be thoroughly pampered at this appointment. Overall, Joy is incredibly kind, conversational and hospitable. The salon itself could use a slight face-lift. The waiting area is a very tight space that can't comfortably accommodate more than 2 people. Most important for me, however, is cleanliness. I noticed a layer of dust, hair and debris on most of the furnishings. It would be too harsh to call it dirty, but a cleaning certainly wouldn't hurt. My hair was towel-dried with what appeared to be an old bleach-stained rag. I would've expected something soft and clean (looking). I expected to be relaxing under a hooded dryer for my peppermint steam conditioning treatment. Instead, I had my head tilted back in a sink, directed at a small device that blew steam toward me. I wouldn't expect that to be as effective as the standard hooded steamer. Joy gave me a wonderful hair wash, but I do wonder the kind and quality of products used. The only other salon I've gone to used DevaCurl, well-known for high-quality products. The only product that was showcased in Holy Hands salon was their proprietary oil, so I can only hope high-quality products were used in my hair. The hair braiding was relatively fast, though she did have to stop in the middle to quickly help another client. I really didn't mind this. My only remaining concern is how long my braids will last. I'm usually able to keep cornrows in for 3+ months without an issue. Joy carries a wonderful energy. In my eyes, the services weren't worth the price, so I don't see myself returning to the salon, at least not for the same needs. Regardless, I'm grateful for the experience.
Friendly atmosphere , wonderful technician,go out and beyond to give excellent service! Place very upscale! The next time you in Indianapolis, go to the Salon ! Tell them Joe n Gina sent you and follow them on Facebook
My first trip. Got compliments on my hair. Going again in a few weeks.
I definitely would recommend Holy Hands to anyone. Antwan started my twists and did a great job. He was very quick and it still looked good. He played some great music and made conversation with me so it wouldn't be super boring. I even got a few good laughs. It was also very clean in the salon. He charged me a decent amount. Thank you Antwan.
