“Visiting Gege Hair Salon was like home away from home from the moment I walked in. Gege was so professional, down to earth, patient, and very kind spoken. During my time spent the atmosphere was clean from the restroom throughout the salon.”

“I was unsure of what style I wanted to get. She gave me time to look over the photos while I decided and she explained the pricing and concept for every style I was interested in. The hair is lightweight and doesn't feel like a boulder on my head.”

I have been going to Gigi for 10 years now and she's always done a good job. She does my hair and my 11-year-old daughter's hair — she's quick and efficient and affordable. Gigi does kinky twist micros, she's done my sew-ins, any style that I have come in there with she was able to do. I highly recommend going to Gigi.

GeeGee is the best. She takes her time, she knows what she's doing and has been in business for a long time. I've finally found my favorite hair stylist. My braids look great. I've gotten a lot of really nice compliments on GeeGee's work. GeeGee, you're the best.
