EbonyB - (Near Islington, UK)

5 /5 Ms Blake: Ive been coming to EbonyB for nearly a year. The professionalism and quality of service provided is always exceptionally the same. I have had the following treatments - cornrows, dyed my natural hair and recently had a weave install. I can genuinely say this hairdresser is brilliant place to get your hair done. I cannot see myself going anywhere else.

5 /5 New Beginnings45: Very friendly staff and clean neat salon! The hairdresser who did my curls was very polite and professional. She made me feel very comfortable. I also like how my hair came out, and I would definitely be coming back

5 /5 ELI: Over 2 months ago, I came here as a last resort to save my damaged hair. I had my first hair wash and intensive treatment by Zuwena. Since then, my hair has been transformed, and Im so grateful!! Now my hair is much softer, more manageable, no more dandruff and stronger. Since my visit, I have also kept my hair out, no protective styling. Prior to this treatment, my hair was very brittle, always tangled and falling out a lot! I love how clean and professional she was and used gloves to touch my hair and scalp. Due to the breakage, my hair was all sorts of different lengths, so Zuwena gave me a trim to cut off the dead ends, which made my hair significantly fuller. During this, she gave me lots of tips on how to care for my hair going forward. It took me weeks to wash my hair after this treatment, as Zuwena cleaned my scalp so well, and I didn’t need to wash it for a while. Im glad friend recommended here, and I cant wait for my next treatment very soon!

3 /5 Simone Brown: My hair was washed and blowed dried by Talisha @elitehairlounge (the only person I trust in the British Isles to handle my hair wet) on Thursday and made my way down to Ebony B Salon on Saturday. Initial Thoughts... My appointment was at 1.30pm but my hair wasnt started until 2.30pm as the stylist was with another client. My stylist Jamillah was very approachable, easy to communicate with and handled my hair with care. The braid pattern wasnt exactly what I asked for but I was very pleased with the final outcome. Style: Lemomade Braids - 15 Braids Braiding Duration: 3 hours Cost: £85 and I had to provide my own hair. The salon wasnt pristine and had a more family and not professional vibe. One of the stylists had her daughter with her at work. Her daughter was very charismatic and played with the wigs displayed on the salon window and if memory serves correct she gave an impromptu catwalk across the salon floor as well as a mock YouTube tutorial. I personally was entertained but I did think some would find it unprofessional. Also my stylist ate Cheetos while braiding my hair and on one occasion some kanekalon braiding hair fell on the floor and she picked it up and braided it to my scalp (I said nothing but I wasnt happy about that). My thoughts one week later... This was my first time getting Lemomade Braids and it will probably be the last because the "Lemonade Side" gets frizzy quickly and doesnt fall flat so I had to tie my hair in a side ponytail. Also its hard to move the hair off my face when its time to take a shower, now I understand why some stylists do a row of single plaits underneath. My braids felt tight so I decided to remove them as I dont want to "lose my edges" as I have a fear of traction alopecia. Final thoughts... I dont think I will return to the salon as I think £85 for 15 braids is overpriced. The fact that the salon didnt provide the kanekalon hair disappointed me because I had to wait for the hair to be prepared (brushed and sectioned) and I felt this could have been done ahead of time to cut down on the appointment time. I would like to find one salon where I can wash, blow dry and braid my hair without experiencing mechanical damage to my fine 4b strands or my scalp. Based on this visit, I dont believe that this salon fits the bill for me; I watched the other stylist wash, blow dry and flat iron another clients hair and yes the final result looked good but I wasnt happy with the detangling methods used. My quest for a professional natural hair specialist continues...

5 /5 Ann-Fernee Haye: I got a texture release done by Zuwena and she did an amazing job. You can see that she really loves her work. She was very professional, meticulous and went above and beyond by explaining the process, giving me hair care tips and product recommendations. I highly recommend this salon. It was the best salon experience Ive had.
