She ALWAYS Understands the ASSIGNMENT
“Ms. Shay always has my son locs on point. She takes her time when she does his hair. She promotes healthy hair care regimen to keep your locs strong , healthy, with a natural shine. My 8 year old loves when he come to Ms. Shay salon , they have the cutest little bond , she talks to him making him comfortable. I trust her with my son's hair. I enjoy time in the salon because this gives me time to decompress from a long day, Lol Sorry Ms. Shay . I always takes me a nap. Best Loc Stylist ! ❤️ You”
