I am from Houston, was visiting Cali and decided I wanted something new. I had the hardest time finding someone that can do exactly what I was looking for until I ran across Nappy or Not. Absolutely love them and the atmosphere. I was scheduled with Morgan and she did a beautiful job. I got my hair permanent dyed and started my loc journey just as I wanted. I'm in love. Thank you Nappy or Not for such a fun, professional experience. And thank you again Morgan.
Ask Jeffrey, his the best he so good at what he does and made me feel so secured and works with me to get the best results . Rowanda and the rest of the Nappy or Not are supper fun . They make your feel like you are part of the the family . That's what Nappy or Not instills In the client a sense of belong ness. Thanks for making me part of the family NappyorNot Team.

Always heard of nappy or not because I am born and raised in Oakland and this was always the place you heard to go get you loc's retwisted. I needed mind retwisted at the last minute and when I tell you that Mimo hooked me up it was amazing. I went other places and they always took 3 hours on my hair. She retwisted my loc's In an hour, and I was dreaded dreaded. She even gave me a cute style. For sure booking with her again. It's been 3 weeks and my hair still feel good. Thanks Mimo.
I definitely enjoyed Rhonda and all the talented women of Nappy or Not. I always walked out feeling like 100%. Thanks for keeping my people looking nice and tight, and serving the bay area, one nap at a time.
