About Harlet's Hair Style
Harlet's Hair Style is a hairdresser on Springwells St in Detroit, operating on a walk-in basis. Visits move through separate steps, starting with a wash at the sink, followed by blow dry and a flat iron or trim. The wash includes combing and detangling from root to end, and chemical or perm product can be added during this stage when requested. The salon is set up for clients with textured or thick hair. It opens Tuesday through Saturday and stays closed on Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly describe rough, damaging washes as the defining complaint here, with several recounting stylists combing or ripping hair from root to end instead of ends to root, tearing strands out in the process. Multiple reviewers report their hair, or a daughter's hair, growing noticeably thinner over repeated visits, and more than one describe chemicals or perm being applied at the wash bowl without consent, disrupting natural curl patterns. One reviewer describes asking for a root touch up and instead leaving with a full color change she says she never approved, and was then told she'd have to pay again to have it corrected. Communication is another recurring friction point, with reviewers saying staff spoke to each other in a language they didn't understand during service. A rising cost for repeat services is also mentioned as a reason some stopped returning. Against this, one reviewer calls the shop the best they've been to and credits monthly visits with healthier hair, while another singles out the blow dry and flat iron finish as well done.

“I came to get my hair done today and they totally disrespected me. They was talking in there language and I asked her to speak English, since she was talking about me. She took someone else number before mine and because I did not want to …”

“Best place I've ever been. They're just excellent at what they do. If you keep going at least once a month, your hair will flourish.”

“I never had a problem coming here until today, but over time I started noticing a pattern. First, I want to mention the price increase because that was the final straw for me. I normally pay between $60-$65 max for the same exact hairstyle …”

“Black Womens Hair! almost all of their customers are black with textured or thicker hair but yet and still, despite correction, Washers will comb your hair from the root to end pulling your hair out with 0 remorse ! If you tell them to start from the ends and work their way up. They listen to what you said & continue to do what THEY want, as if it’s a free service. Not only that my scalp was burning during my wash and when I asked why she replied “hair dirty” I told her I know my hair is dirty but didn’t understand why my scalp would be on fire! She ignored me and continued to talk to fellow staff members. I’ve been giving Harlet’s my money for years but I am done.”

“In the beginning the prices were reasonable and the service was great. Unfortunately, the prices have continued to increase, and the quality of service has changed as well. The last few visits, they didn’t wash my hair the way they use to, …”
