This is by far the best hair experience I’ve had in quiet some time. The atmosphere was so chill and it just felt like an afternoon at my cousin’s house getting my hair. Everyone who worked there was so kind, and caring. I definitlely recommend this place to everyone. I got kinky twist nearly 2 weeks ago, and they still look great. The young lady that did my hair, was very attentive, and even clipped off my deadends prior to braiding to promote healthy hair growth. The Hair Journey struggle is real, but The Nappy Hutt is definitely the place where your hair is in good caring hands!

Love getting my daughter’s hair done at The NAPPY HUT . Any hair is going to look nicer with professional styling (that you probably can’t recreate at home). Her honest opinion gives me a true sense of what the hair will look like. Shawntel Waajid has her opinion on what looks good, but afterall it’s my decision and she’ll braid/style it based on my request. I always get compliments on my daughter’s hair and get asked about my stylist al the time. Shawntel is skillful and I always leave with hair my daughter and I love. I’ll keep going back. Horray, finally found someone who is educated and knows what she is doing!!!!!

Two and half years ago I saw the most beautiful well defined braid style on one my colleagues and I inquired about who did that particular style. She recommended the Nappy Hutt. I was slow to go natural but six months after having that conversation with my colleague I made an appointment and I was extremely pleased with the results. Two years later, my natural hair is healthy and has grown significantly! I owe it all to the professional stylists, especially Melissa, and the products that are used on my hair. I always take a nap while my hair is getting washed. It feels so good getting my scalp thoroughly cleansed and massaged. What a great experience I have each time I am at the Nappy Hutt, and I go bi-weekly. Yes I am addicted!!

I’ve come here three times now and I have personally enjoyed each and every one of my visits. The staff is super friendly and extremely good at their job. They also offer helpful advice about how to take care of your hair making sure the style last as long as possible. I love coming here; the atmosphere is amazing. Great place for people of any age to come and get their hair done
