Comments

I am so impressed by how clean and professional the shop is. The shampoo chairs are the most comfortable chairs I have been in. I am in the process of growing out my chemical relaxer. Patrick gave me an excellent cut. He pressed and curled my hair. The press and curl was not heavy or greasy. I am very pleased with the way my hair turned out. Patrick is excellent. This is a nice, friendly salon. I have had a good experience here.

I've been coming to Wellington Hair for about 5 months and my hair is the healthiest it's ever been! I'm wearing my hair short now and I love it. Patrick Wellington gives great hair cuts. The staff and other stylist are very friendly. Wellington Hair Spa is the place to be.

Pretty nice salon. Pricey, but great services.

Ashante is absolutely brilliant! I went in for the 'big chop' and she was very welcoming, warm, and willing to work with me and the ideas I had for my haircut. I gave her creative liberty and she gave me the best salon experience of my life. I will defnitely be back to see her and the Wellington Hair Spa! :)

WISH I WAS A BETTER WRITER TO EXPRESS HOW AMAZING ASHANTE IS! AFTER SEVERAL BOTCHED HAIR APPOINTMENTS BY STYLISTS IN FANCY SALONS ACROSS MANHATTAN, IT WAS REFRESHING TO COME TO THE CALMING PRESENCE THAT IS WELLINGTON. I DONT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I LEFT WITH HAIR THIS GORGEOUSE OR HEALTHY. NOT TO MENTION HOW KIND AND SOOTHING THE STAFF IS. IF YOU WANT SPOT ON HAIR TREATMENT AND PEACE OF MIND THEN YOU BETTER BOOK AN APPOINTMENT FAST! YOU WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE THE ENVY OF WOMAN ON THE STREET.

Hello my name is Cindy Josiah and I would like to share my experience with Ashate with you. I was at a point where I was not feeling very good about my hair at all you see I had thinning eadges. When I sat in Ashante's chair I was very nervous because not only was she new to me, but after seeing so many stylists and using so many diffrient products without any results I didn't know what to expect.Well I must say that this is my fourth viste and my hair line looks beautiful I see results.I am even now confient enought to cut my hair very short something I was very nervous about before." -Cindy Josiah

I went to the wellington spa salon yesterday. I got there for my 5pm appt and didn't go home till 1030. This was entirely too long for a simple hair cut that he had already done. In addition, he took forever to actually cut my hair and could not even mold it without gel. I have been to other salons that have molded me without gel. He obviously did not know what he was doing. On top of it, he tried to charge me 115 plus TAX! When I tried to ask him for a blowdry, flat iron and trim, he told me it would be the same price. On the other hand he told another client for a wash and set 75 dollars. As nice as the salon looked, the service was disappointing. The style was not even what I wanted. In addition, he was upset when I gave him a 5 dollar bill, which he should have been grateful because he tried to get over on me, took too long, didn't know what he was doing, and had me in there for five and a half hours. Would not advise others to attend this salon. Sincerely, A writer for Sophisticate's Black Hair

All i can say Patrick Wellington is wow! I made my way to your salon yesterday, after cancelling my original appointment a week earlier. Patrick gave me a straightforward consultation, hair perm, conditioner and stellar cut.(All with nice conversation) The very next morning a colleage of mine who I had not spoken to in awhile paid me a visit. She came to ask me if Icould refer her to a hairdresser. She took one look at my hair and the rest history.. All I can say...Patrick, I am going to be in need of more of your business cards!!
