I was so excited to get my Javeda wig
I was so excited to get my Javeda wig. I waited about a month. When I got the notification it was delivered today (1/28/25), I couldn’t wait to get home. I opened the package and saw what was a flat wig. I understand shipping makes the curls flat. So I went to try it on, and was disappointed. It looked nothing like the pretty picture on her site. Since there is a no return policy, I ended up adding curls all over the wig. It looks 10 times better, now that I fixed it. I will stick to luvmehair. SMH

Good Hair Nightmare
I’m gonna start this review by saying beauty should not hurt. No woman deserves to lose sleep over a hairstyle. My experience with Nigeria at Hair Fetish was the most troubling experience I’ve had with professionals in the hair care industry. First of all, I should have left when I learned that all hair services must be paid in cash and customers sign a liability waiver. I came in for a sew-in, the first in over a decade. I picked out nice hair and was ready to be pampered. Nigeria was completely too rough. The washing station is awkward and she threw my hair around in the basin, hurting my neck. I toughed through that. Then she started brushing out my hair, slamming my head with the brush like I’m a doll. I toughed through that. She started to braid the base and it was SO tight it felt like she was wrapping my scalp into the braid. I told her it was too tight but it was all downhill from there. She kept braiding, and tied it up even tighter with the string before she started installing the tracks. It was way too tight, I told her and she said it would loosen up. As the appointment went on it got more and more painful. I made the mistake of paying and leaving to go home and suffer it on my own. I could barely move my head, couldn’t put my head down on the pillow, couldn’t stop the excruciating pain. This part of the experience was my own, but my impression is that this hair stylist is not conscious of the client’s individual experience and not responsive. Girls, be wary of people like this. This is a stylist who will charge you boatloads of money, make you sign a liability waiver, and then totally disregard your concerns throughout the service.After a night of lost sleep I tried my luck going back and letting her know what I was experiencing. She ignored what I was saying, the installation is too tight, and just put a lot of product in it to sooth it but refused to take the tracks down.I left again, still in excruciating pain. After nearly 36 hours of consistent throbbing pain and too many painkillers I sat up the second night with my heart beating a million miles a minute. My body was reacting very badly to that nonstop adrenaline rush of being in so much pain and not having sleep for hours. I really thought I was gonna have to call an ambulance. I was so scared. I started falling out and finally started cutting stings. Immediately once I started cutting strings I could feel myself regaining clarity and waking up. It was obvious then that the whole installation was dangerously tight.When a client tells a professional stylist she’s having a negative experience, the professional should listen. Nigeria refused to ease up on the braids, pulled my scalp up tight with string and then after hearing i was in excruciating pain did nothing but talk. While she did agree to deal with it on the second morning, it couldn’t wait. The tension was negatively affecting my health too much. I would steer clear if this salon. For the price, it’s definitely not worth it unless you like torture. Some girls will tolerate that pain and treatment but I can’t. Final disclaimer, if you feel excruciating pain and lose sleep as a result of a hair style it is not okay. It is not normal. You do not have to stick it out. We deserve better than that. All she had to do was loosen up the braids, and Nigeria didn’t so now I’m out a full months mortgage and still need to figure out what to do with my hair.
