I have fine, wavy hair that I’ve always hated and worn straight. During the pandemic I started wearing it wavy and I still hated it. It took me a long time to decide to see a curl specialist because I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it or make that much difference. My hair is wavy, not really curly. Emory has been my stylist for a little over a year now and I can’t believe how much the look of my hair, and more importantly, my attitude about my hair has changed. I don’t bring photos, I just let them do their thing and my hair has never been more low maintenance or this pretty. I got 2 compliments on it today, (and it’s been a couple of weeks since I had it done), which inspired me to write this review. Getting compliments on my hair happens regularly now and it feels both good and weird. Haha. I’m not used to it. If you’re on the fence about seeing a curl specialist, you should. You should come to this salon. I didn’t even mention the amazing vibe and how special this place is. That would be another additional 5 pages…and hopefully you’re already making your appointment.

I had such a great experience at Black Sheep Salon in Long Beach. Emory, the owner, met with me first for a quick consultation to talk through my hair goals. I booked an appointment about two weeks later and came in for the service. One thing I immediately appreciated is how intentional the salon is about making people feel comfortable and supported. You can see it throughout the space and in how they show up for their community, which honestly made me feel really good about spending my money there. Everyone was warm and kind, but not in that overly performative customer service way - I immediately felt comfortable. Before starting, Emory talked with me again about what I wanted - dialing in the tone for my blonde while covering my greys in my natural color. They were also really transparent about the possibility that things might come out a little darker at first because of old box dye I had used before (which thankfully was met with zero judgment haha). The whole appointment felt very balanced - a kind of the Goldilocks experience if you will. Not too much talking, not awkward silence, just easy conversation, clear communication, and a really nice atmosphere. Since I had let my roots grow out for way too long, we had talked about banding being a possibility. The goal was simply to get my hair into a better place than when I walked in. After everything was dried, cut, and styled, I thought I might be seeing some banding, but I honestly was still happy because Emory had already gotten everything looking so even and cohesive. Then when I got home and looked in the mirror again, I realized there actually wasn’t any banding at all (at least not to my untrained eye). What I thought I saw earlier was just a shadow. I was genuinely blown away. I’m not an easy person to please when it comes to my hair (something I admitted right away) and I truly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The pricing felt fair, their policies are reasonable, and the whole experience was fantastic. I’m really excited to have found my new go to stylist. Not only was it a quality experience - it's a place where I feel really good about spending my money. Bleached Roots - Half Head Covered Greys in Natural Hair Hime Haircut and Style

Just got my 3-month touch up by Queen Dinnie 👑. I got my initial Qiqi treatment in December, and the hospitality, inclusivity, queer-friendliness, and neurodivergent-accommodating aspect still remains the same. I am so thankful for the refreshed confidence I have. Dinnie is knowledgeable and talented, along with the other stylists that makes this particular shop cozy and lively. Not trying to be dramatic— ever since I’ve been getting my hair done here, I’ve been feeling like I got a new lease on life or something 🤣

Black Sheep salon has always delivered and made me feel comfortable when getting my hair done. I have never felt so ay ease with any prior salon. The staff has always made me feel welcome and accommodating with my sensory issues. I can’t thank Dinne Danger enough for the beautiful color and cut she’s given me.

This place is such a safe space. We feel seen, welcomed and genuinely cared for in this salon. The staff is ALWAYS warm and friendly. My 5-year-old son’s barber , Mimi, takes great care of him. He is normally very anxious and has difficulty with being in new spaces with new faces, but from day 1 Mimi took the extra time to help him feel comfortable with one of his first hair cuts. We have never looked back. We love coming to Black Sheep Salon. The hospitality is unmatched and the space is SO cute! Well designed, spacious, and filled with love. We are never leaving!
