Love it! – I have been a client at Dekwa for two years and couldn't be happier! Annie is my colorist and Ingrid my stylist and both are truly artists! The staff are always fun and welcoming. If you're looking for a stylist that specializes in specific hair types or services this is the place for you! I would highly recommend all of the stylists at Dekwa!

Best place to get a really great haircut – I just had my first haircut at Dekwa. My cut was done by Deneen and it is without any doubt the best haircut I have ever gotten on this side of the Atlantic. I have fairly thick, semi-straight hair, and Deened did a wonderful job at cutting it in a way that it flatters my face (she seems to have a very good sense for that) and looks interesting and full of movement. I used their "ecuts" offer for first time customers, but I will be more than happy to pay the full price next time. A ... read more

Great salon working for a great cause – For the past 3 years I was growing out my hair to donate to Locks of Love. When I finally decided to get the cut done, I chose DeKwa as I knew that they were one of the salons that would send the hair to Locks of Love for me. So with butterflies in my belly I entered the salon. Cherylann Esposito was so nice and so kind throughout the cut. She was so sweet when my mother took picture after picture after picture. Not to mention, I love my hair!!!! I have gotten so many compliments on th... read more

Kwan is awesome! – I've been going to Kwan at Dekwa for the past 7+ years and she's quite amazing. I get my color and cut there. She's great with hair for asian women who have straight hair. Mine just lays there. But after a cut with Kwan, I always feel like a movie star, ready for the red carpet. I've even taken sample pictures to try out and she's always made my hair look good.

Great Atmosphere – It is never fun to think about covering greys, spending a chunk of your hard earned $ and fearing a bad cut. HOWEVER, all these worries go right out the window at DeKwa. I was forced to relax and have fun. No choice. All the staff I encountered was friendly, personable and accommodating. Kyle took great care of me (and my hair). I have received so many compliments on my new short cut. I only wish I lived closer, I would be in more often!

Curly Again – There is only one word to describe Kyle and his styling: FABULOUS! I went to him to donate my hair to Locks of Love. It is a very delicate process, because it means a drastic haircut. But the reviews on CitySearch lived up to their expectations and he really did a wonderful job. He is meticulous and cut my short do to my curls. I haven?t worn my hair curly in years, but I?m happy to say that I?m glad to see them again. Thank you Kyle. I?ll be seeing you again soon.

awful experience – This place was such a nightmare! to start with don't believe there reviews!!!!!! They pushed me into buying products that i really didnt need and i bought them anyway because i felt bad. i asked for a side bangs and betty gave me short uneven bangs right across my forhead. I am absolutely embarrased to leave my house. I got a partial foil, the color was fine except for the fact that on my part there are bleach marks everywhere. i was better off going to supercuts. very dissapointed. 

Business response:

We would like to sincerely apologize for your unfortunate experience. Some of the stylists are self employed. In this case, any product sales are really between the stylist and client. Even so, we would be happy to take the product back and reimburse you. We feel Betty is an amazing stylist who has had extensive education around the world, and has won many international competions. If you read all the reviews you will see many agree. If there is any way we can rectify the situation plese let us know. Sincerely, Salon Owners

Nice, but pricey – I tried out DeKwa recently for the first time after reading so many incredible reviews. Once I got to the salon I was a little disappointed to see that they bribe customers to post reviews with the promise of a free hair product. So I felt a bit that I had been duped. Just putting that out there. That said, I DID enjoy my experience. Ingrid was fantastic, and I had a really good time talking with her. She cut my hair exactly like I wanted, which has been rare in my experience (usually I find that stylists ... read more

Yoko hair straightening is the best thing I've ever done. – This is my third time at the salon and every experience has been great. I got the Yoko hair straightening treatment and is the best thing I've ever done. My hair is naturally wavy so I always had to dry my hair and use the straightening iron for it to be perfect. After the Yoko treatment I just wash my hair and go, don't need to dry it or anything and it always looks like I got out of the salon. It is definitely worth it.
