Shampoo & Style Haircut
by Alicia McAfee
Alicia is very INTELLIGENT in our work and craft. You will not regret going to her. She reshaped my cut so well after I relaxed my hair after cutting ...my locs off. I love her work she did so much! I will be going to her consistently before I move back to VA. I definitely recommend her because she cares about your scalp and hair care which is what you need with stylists in today’s time. She isn’t worried about the money she can get from you, she is truly worried about your hair! I can’t wait to go to her for my next cut again. Show more

Crochet (loose hair)
by Alicia McAfee
Omg what can I say about Alicia besides she is absolutely amazing! She is always so gentle on my hair. I wasn't sitting there wincing from pain and sh...e wasn't trying to snatch all my edges or grab too much from the kitchen either lol. The hairstyle didn't take very long (3.5 hours) and I got 40 inch crochet faux locs with some loose hair. Time went by fast with good conversation and Tubi. I will definitely be back again! Show more
