I wasn't going to type a review of this place, but as I run my fingers through my roots, I changed my mind. This review is on my experience at the Norfolk location.
My appointment was scheduled for eleven on November 20th. I showed up about ten minutes early, and everything was going fine. I checked in, sat down, and was then taken to get my hair washed. I talked to the woman who was going to interlock my hair, and she re-went over the price with me. Everything was cool.
After my hair wash, things went down hill. With my hair soaking wet, she led me back to the front room and had me wait. Remember

I took my 3 son's to get loc maintenance. I took two stars off versus of the confusion in my booked appointment when I got there. I had a text confirmation from the owner confirming my appointment day and time with the names of all three of my sons and they were not scheduled and extremely overbooked with other clients for the same appointment time. Due to me having record of my text confirmation, the ladies at the Chesapeake office went out of their way to accommodate all of my children. They were very professional and courteous, and all very patient with my kids. Three different stylists did

The WORST experience ever. I literally wasted 2 hrs of a beautiful Saturday. I've supported this business for years.Today was the last straw. Do NOT go here if you value your time and like professionalism.

I don't recommend.
They don't answer the phone. They have no technological way to book appointments such as with an app or website.
I could go on but I wont.
All in all....i haven't gone back since the first time.

Angie is phenomenal. She was able to repair my badly thinning locs when several local locticians advised me to start over. Her knowledge, experience, and work ethic renewed my faith in the craft. Words cannot express my gratitude! I highly recommend!!!

Run away fast!!! First off they no longer have the Diamond Springs location and have three locations total so be careful. My daughter and I went in July 16, 2021 for loc maintenance for her. I also had my hair done I will explain my service after explaining hers. So my daughter had loc maintenance done and I didn’t like the fact that all of her hair wasn’t twisted so I asked Melissa to fix and she had the nerve to tell me that my daughter’s hair was starting to bud and loc. She also stated it was because we haven’t been coming every two weeks like she told us. Well we waited a while because

I got a retwist tonight. My advice, don't choose the 5pm appointment time. I was rushed out and my hair wasn't even dry. My stylist left before I did. I didn't even get a chance to see my hair after it was done. A whole discussion occurred around who was even going to do my hair. I got the rush job, meaning my parts are not straight, my hair isn't dry, and to make matters worse, they use an Excessive amount of product. $60 later and I will be washing my hair tonight. Otherwise I'll be destroying my bonnet and pillow cases. Do yourselves a favor and either do it yourself or go to someone that won

I got to meet the owner and she was very nice. I will have to say she didn't really do as I thought she was. sisters hair was messy and all over the place. and the price was to high for what she done to my sister hairs. and when I want to look around the shop one of the worker got mad at me and told me to sit right there in a rude way. where I was seating it not clean I saw chip in chairs it was dirty.

I just went in for a consultation, recently. Jasmine seemed very knowledgeable on locks and styles. I had my lock professionally done by this company 10+ years ago. I will go back to restart my lock journey.

I give this establishment my highest recommendation. My wife and I are military here for a few months. I wish I had found this place sooner because they have great prices, amazing customer service, and are amazing beauticians/locticians. If you are new to the area, military, or looking for a new hairstylist, please give them a try. They have decades worth of experience and you likely won't be disappointed.

Called this salon on December 29, 2020 and made an appointment for January 2, 2021 at 1pm. I called today just to see if there were any cancelations for me to possibly move my appointment up earlier, and thank god I called before wasting my damn time. They didn't have any earlier slots and I was fine with keeping my 1pm slot. However, the receptionist tells me there was no slot at that time for me. She didn't see anything under my name or number for that day. Since there was clearly a mistake, I asked if I could be accommodated as a walk in? All I wanted done was a wash, trim, and some

Do not go here. Brother went there for a loc appointment and his roots were barely retwisted and the locs were frizzier than when he went in. Very disappointed and we had hoped to find him a new spot since he just moved to the area.

I love this place! Growing up in black hair salons in New York, I'm used to making an appointment and still waiting about an hour once I arrive to be serviced. Coming to Da Notty Roots, I was pleasantly surprised that I was taken immediately once I arrived. Melissa was super friendly and knowledgeable about my locals. She got my interlocking done within 2 hours. If you know anything, you know that's impressive. She doesn't take breaks for phone calls or to eat her lunch or to do other people's hair lol. She gets me in and out. The place is clean and comfortable. I appreciate

DISCLAIMER: I will support a black business before I support any other business. It hurts because we don't have a lot of black owned businesses and we should.

But with that being said this place is the exact reason why black businesses are failing as a whole. This place is very inconsiderate of your time,money and service. They dgaf about you as long as you brought cash. They keep you waiting while they're in the back laughing and eating & carrying on. Their overall vibe is rude. The manager needs to reevaluate her staff and CLEAN HOUSE because some of the stylist are lazy and not

I love this place!!! The vibe is awesome. The staff is just amazing. Their level of knowledge and professionalism was being what I could ever have expected.
I started going to this shop recently to maintain my natural hair as I was having some breakage after giving birth. Not only did they style it flawlessly to cover the shorter area, but they treated my hair so that it would get stronger and grow back. I purchased natural products from them to use at home and they worked! I couldn't be more grateful.
In my visits to this salon, I've seen the staff work MAGIC. From the barbers transforming

My son decided he wanted to start growing locs , so I chose to go to Da Knotty Roots because this is where I used to get my locs done. Denise is his loctician and also the owner of the shop. She is very knowledgeable and friendly.

I used to come here before I lost my hair due to leukemia, so I knew Denise was going to hook my son up cause I always left her chair looking FLY!!

So I NEVER write reviews, but this place definitely deserved everything I'm about to say because it's all FACTS and truth.

1) I asked how much for a retwist, she tells me 60$ and it would 85$ for retwist and style. Hmmmm pretty pricy but ok whatever. But then it pissed me off cause another stylist told a client 75$ then he goes naw she told me 40$ referring to the owner. That conversation then carried own amongst all the other stylist in front of 3 different clients ... yeah so note 1 : hook ups and discounts only for some clients

2) CASH ONLY really bruh. But you got state of

Diamond Springs location. First of all this place is very expensive. She wanted to charge me $170 for starter locs. She said the price was high because my hair is too long. My hair comes to my collar bone it's not like it was down my back. Then proceeded to tell me it's just like going to the African braiding. I have never went to African braiding I do my own hair. I wanted a professional because I cannot see in the back of my head. They seem friendly. But the lady told me I could not get two strand twists as a method to start my locs. I looked at her like she was crazy. lol everyone

Made an appointment for the same day. When I got there I explained what style I wanted I was informed that they could do it. I paid an extra 10 for the honey treatment I don't think she used a lot on my hair but ok whatever. My stylist Shi sat me under the dryer with a old shower cap on I could smell it when  she was putting it on my head. I sat under the dryer for 10 minutes while listening to them talk about love and hip hop while using foul language. After I came from under the dryer she began to do my hair I told her I wanted them small but was told I don't have to have them that

Don't go to them unless you have locs. They don't detangle your hair and you will have a headache by the time you leave because of all the pulling and snatching they do on your ends. Even after I showed my discomfort the stylist still did not ease up. If you have kinky hair and need a condition and detangle you won't get it. I don't recommend them at all.

So I don't know why ppl are talking negatively about this establishment. This has been my second time here and I received excellent customer service. I mAde my appointment the day before and was asked which location I would prefer; I chose diamond springs. Upon arrival, everyone was very friendly and professional. I am definitely going to be a returning customer.
They specialize in natural hair; so I got started locs. Pleased with the results and was given instruction on how to take care of my hair.
Please stop hating and support this black owned business! THAT IS ALL!

Sigh...I wanted to write a great review b/c the stylists are sooo friendly, but when I got home, I discovered issues that should've been resolved immediately.

First, I called the number associated with the Diamond Springs address and made my appointment. When I arrived to the VB location, I was informed that I was at the wrong place. Apparently all calls go to one number for the different locations and no one felt the need to inform me that my appointment was in Chesapeake. I hope that they confirm the location with future clients.

2nd, I received a call about an hour before my appointment

Where do I start... I have NEVER had a shop destroy my hair like this. In 20 minutes this broad took off more than SIX inches of my hair! I showed a friend and she asked if the hairdresser was blind!? I went in there with 4 different pics, fully explaining that I did NOT want to cut my hair(just a trim) and even said something to her when I saw her cutting too much. She STILL screwed it up! I walked out of there with what looked like a fro-mullet, and more than three YEARS of growth was gone from the entire front part of my head! I usually don't let people with weave cut my hair but she was
