Customer Review Summary
Wigs draw most of the praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the lace fronts and human hair wigs, alongside the EZ Braid and pre-stretched braiding hair singled out as top picks. Several describe staff as knowledgeable, pointing to help choosing lock products and one stylist praised for installing lace fronts neatly and suggesting looks; a rewards program earning points on purchases also gets a mention, though one reviewer wishes hours ran later than 8:00pm. Selection is repeatedly called wide and well stocked. Set against this, one reviewer reports quality and service have declined under what they believe is new management, describing being accused of stealing candy and finding staff distracted by wig-making rather than assisting customers. A couple of others separately dispute the store's advertised Black ownership. Reviewers naming staff single out two by name for consistently helpful, non-judgmental service across repeat visits.
