Salon Daba - Los Angeles (CA)

5 /5 Michelle Labrosse: Had great and easy service. The owner was cool on the phone and I was able to book the same day, after reading such lovely reviews. The girl who did my hair nailed it and I’m really happy with her work. She retightened everything for me and made my dreads look clean again. Thanks girls. I highly recommend

5 /5 Rak Tak: I love this Salon. Amina started my Locs 5 years ago. I had an Afro and she recommend the instant loc method. I was really happy with the end result. I have been going to salon daba since then for my loc maintenance. My favorite is the loc retwist. I love how nice and knowledgeable Amina and her team are. Highly recommend this shop. They are the best period.

5 /5 Tiff Wright: Good experience overall. They got me in the same day, well actually the same HOUR! I am from out of town and my daughter needed a protective style done. She’s only 4 years old, she did good but was also antsy she got tired of sitting still. They had so much patience with her and took their time with her they was very nice & deserve all the props!! Thank you all for fitting my baby in same day she loves her hair.

5 /5 Esthelle Ewusi-Boisvert: Great first experience at Salon Daba! Came in to get touch-ups on my faux locs, and was able to text with them beforehand about the service. They were greatly communicative and transparent about their offerings and pricing. Once there, I didnt wait long before being seated and the stylist re-confirmed with me to make sure I wanted my whole head and not just the front retouched. I was able to let her know that my scalp was sensitive, and requested that my roots dont be wrapped too tightly. She made sure to keep checking-in with me throughout the service, and she adjusted as needed! I immediately booked a follow-up for take down in a couple weeks and will be coming here for protective styles from now on. Thank you so much!!

1 /5 Kyra Andrews: I decided to try this salon after seeing all the positive reviews, but sadly I did not have a good experience here. The first thing I noticed was the poor hospitality and lack of communication. I have 5 month old locs, and booked a retwist appointment, but when I arrived they were not aware that they needed to wash my hair...Strange as a loc salon, but they were able to wash my hair. Amina was my stylist. She was very rough, sprayed water in my face, and did not clean my hair at all. When I mentioned to them that my hair was not clean, they offered to do an ACV rinse, but ended up not being able to do it because they didnt know the price of it and the owner wasnt answering the phone...I got the feeling that they just didnt want to take the time to properly cleanse my hair. Then when it came to retwisting my hair, she used a lot of gel that left my scalp and strands very flaky. Not only is my hair itchy but its also flaky. Ive had way better experiences at other salons and would not be returning to this salon. I assume theyre only good to braid hair (not wash it, and definitely not to care for locs). Update: 1/8/24 - After leaving this review, the owner of the salon messaged me apologizing for my experience and offered to service me again free of charge. I thought that was a very kind thing to do and appreciated it. However, my experience was even worse than the last and I really just want to share it to prevent others from having their new locs ruined. This time, they made me wait an hour and a half to get serviced, tied loops/knots at the end of my locs (even after asking them to stop doing that), sprayed spritz in my hair, and left me looking crazy. See photos. I hope they stop advertising as a loc salon because to some people their locs are very important and sacred and to ruin it like they did to me is just unacceptable.
