Advantages
Mara is a wonderful person. She cares deeply about her clients. I have been going to her salon for years. Great prices and goes beyond what a hair salon owner would do at any other place.
Disadvantages
Learn from my experience and think twice before booking here. They do hire ambassadors that are paid to promote and speak highly of the business so take what you see online with a grain of salt. I am your average customer who was just hoping to find a local, black owned spa to visit frequently, but I will never step foot in this salon again. My nail tech Lisa showed up over 10 minutes late which if it were me who showed up over 10 minutes late would’ve been assessed a $10 fee. No apologies

from anyone regarding her lateness or anything, then I had to wait another 10-15 minutes for her to get set up. This honestly wouldn’t have been that bad had the duration of my experience with this company not played out how it did. My nails were finished at 12:30p by 7:30p my index press on fell off. Gel X should last at least 3 weeks. I called them as soon as it happened and got no answer although their store hours say they are open until 8:30p (maybe should fix that if not accurate). Did not get a response until I showed up this morning. The receptionist was speaking to me as if it were my fault for bringing the error to their attention pretty much telling me there’s not much they can do and that the nail tech who did it would have to fix it and she’s booked. I made it very clear I wasn’t leaving without a refund or the nail being fixed, which is only right given the fact that this was an $80 service!! The receptionist accidentally texted me meaning to text my nail tech telling her that I was being demanding. How am I being painted as antagonistic when I’m the one that received poor service?! You can see below she sent a message and then unsent it…. It was like she wanted me to see it. After waiting about 90 minutes the nail was fixed and then.. ANOTHER NAIL CAME OFF! At this point it’s apparent that the nails weren’t applied correctly. I mean look at the pictures on top of the missing nails, you can see my actual nail under the press ons! I ride back up there and this time I speak with Anissa the owner who agreed the nails should not be coming off this soon, but also went out of her way to negate my experience in the same breath “well I never had a problem when she did my nails” , “sometimes a change in the weather can cause this, but it’s not common”. She said all she can do is give me $35 of the $80 back and I spent $135 here! I even offered maybe they can be redone with better prep and she said “I don’t own Lisa it would be up to her if she wants to redo them.” I had to glue the thumb nail back on myself! So pretty much I just have to deal with paying $45 for nails that I would have never paid for period had I known the quality would be so bad and at this rate more nails are going to continue to come off, I just feel so gypped and misled. She gave a 25% off as well, but given the rude nail tech who cursed through out my entire appointment, had no clue what services I was getting and was about to blindly perform the wrong ones without checking, and kept pausing my service to put in food orders for her coworkers… I obviously wouldn’t come back. Businesses have become so money hungry, I would have loved to rectify this issue and just chalk it up to an honest mistake and give them another try, but people would rather antagonize you than admit they dropped the ball and make it right. At least I know for the future where not to go.
Update:
It is May 14 2023 (the next day after repair) and as if it couldn’t get any worse the index nail that was “fixed” split completely in half from me doing absolutely nothing!!

Like most women, I've had a variety of haircutters, most good, some great, and a handful of truly awful.
But of all the ex-Barry Leonard staff that I've used in the past, David is the best. I'm always pleased with my new 'do, and so is he!!!
And if that's not enough, the shop is very comfortable, and honestly looks like my living room (although he needs an upright piano).

To the Kings Lee, Chris and Terrance,
Great experience!!! Atmosphere was Chill and friendly. Liked the music they had playing. Didn't try to pressure me into a car just to make a sale. They worked with me to find me a car to fit my budget and was very patient to explain anything I didn't understand. I walked out of there with what I wanted

I am soooooo happy with my results!!!! Dr.Fosnot is an extremely talented surgeon with a keen eye and meticulous skill. After having a double mastectomy with a diep flap, my previous surgeon left Penn with my surgical reconstruction journey incomplete. I was recommended by another Penn Medicine doctor to see Dr. Fosnot. From the start, Dr. Fosnot made me feel super comfortable. He explained what he thought I needed and why. Dr. Fosnot is knowledgeable and thorough, and gave me all the

Your kids are not safe here as the owner is a violent, dangerous person who has been seen on social media vandalizing a family's home and most recently making fun of a 12yr old child cancer diagnosis. This woman is sick and I would NEVER trust her with my children!

On Friday night, March 10, 2023, I parked my car in a parking lot by AMC 7 Broad Street. I am a person that is always looking for signs because I do not want to pay any tickets. There weren't any signs visible about a kiosk so I parked and went into the movie theatre. When I came out, my car was gone. I found the towing sign way up on the side of the building and located my car at George towing. Not only did I get a ticket, but I also had

to pay $205 and wait until the next morning to get what belongs to me!
On Saturday morning, March 11, 2023, I paid the fees and was able to retrieve car. Upon walking to my car, I noticed car was backed up against the wall. I did NOT have any damage on my back bumper prior to towing. I took a picture of my car parked against the wall. After removing my car, I saw damage to my car on the same side it was against the wall. I took a picture of the damage.
I called in to report the damage and was told that they take pictures. An email address was provided but I have yet to hear back. It appears George towing do not want to take ownership of damaging car.
I filed a police report on Monday, March 13, 2023.

I live in Philly, I probably eat more soft pretzels than I should. I was happy to find a company that made soft pretzels without preservatives. I tried their new "twists" and their standard size soft pretzel. They shipped with a jar of Dietz & Watson Spicy Brown Mustard. The package also came came with heating instructions (I'm going to freeze them) & perfect size salt in a shaker container.( BTW: never microwave pretzels) Ordered on Wednesday and received them by Friday. The twists

It's nice to know I don't have to rely on the pumped with preservative brands at the local convenience store, and I can just order on-line.

I was looking to improve my credit so as to get pre approval for my auto loan and home refinancing. So I needed to clear the debts on my credit cards so I found a nonprofit hacktivist organization team who help people with business loans and fund your credit cards if you have debts on them . Taking this step really helped me as I had a lot of expenses at that time . It also positively impacted my credit scores and I’m grateful to webghost33 {via InstaGram} who helped me out.
That’s probably the same man at the register who acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked him about the booths and if they were available for women as well. He completely dismissed me and told me it was for men only. He was clearly a gay old man.. ugh!

Ozzy did a fantastic job on tinting my front windows to match the factory tinted rear windows. I called him around 7pm on a Friday night after getting ghosted by another tint shop on a scheduled appointment. Ozzy got me in at 8:30am the next day, and the results are fantastic.

If you're the type of person that likes to find flaws in other's work- you're gonna be disappointed because the man's work is flawless.
