Damica Lee Tamekia is hair stylist that actually takes care of your hair. Not only does she styles your hair but she also, takes care of your hair. Most stylist you are able to sit down in their chair and show them a picture of the style that you want and most stylist will actually get right to it. If my ends needs clips, she will; if my hair needs to be treated; shell take care of it before being asked. No matter what mood Im in by the time I leave her salon, I feel like the most beautiful woman on this earth. My hair feels so nice, not a lot of product that weighs it down. I walk away feeling amazing every single time I visit. You cant go wrong with Tamekia, book with her.

Personal I arrived at 12:15. I was not greeted until 12:50. I was left sitting there alone. Stylist had a “volunteer” washing my hair. The volunteer was very sweet and polite although she obviously was not a professional nor trying to be a stylist of any form. After washing, volunteer gave me a Steam/Hydration Treatment and placed me under the dryer for 45 minutes. No one came to check on me but the volunteer. Another 30 minutes passed so I gave in and peeked around the corner. There were 3 ladies just sitting there conversing, loud, ghetto and speaking explicit. Stylist “Tamekia” stated that she will be right with me. 30 minutes later stylist arrived at the wash bowl. I was confused. Why would you wet my hair after you just finished drying it? She replied, “it’s ok” then directed me to her styling chair. I sat in the chair and Tamekia began to spray my hair with a minimum amount of leave in conditioner then proceeded to blow out my hair, which was still 100% dry! The conditioner did not help. Let me advise you I have super thick, kinky, natural “4c hair”. When I questioned the stylist, she became irate and asked me if I would like to reschedule. I declined and began to diffuse the situation. I explained to her that I was not trying to be rude in any way, I’ve just never seen a stylist perform a blow out on dry hair. The way my hair was “crackling”, it was obvious she was damaging my hair! Her response was she can refuse service to whoever she may please and that she will send my money back. I sat there to make sure I was refunded yet Tamekia acted like as if my information was wrong and she did not know how to use Zelle. I even took the high road and apologized for any miscommunication when I could have gotten ignorant. I’m a young corporate professional myself, I let her know that we are all adults and confronted her on the situation, yet all she could say in defense was, “The vibes were not right for new clients and began to explain that it was something within her, not me, and to not take it personally.” What does a “vibe” have to do with doing your job? Imagine arriving to your job/career and then leaving and when they ask why, “because the vibes are not right”. The salon looked ghetto and her work looks amateur so it was not even worth going that route. She also has a small dog that she allows to run freely around the “salon” that jumped in my lap several times. I’m allergic to dogs! Tamekia cancelled my appointment on Style Seat so I couldn’t leave a bad review. 4 hours of my time wasted. If you don’t know how to properly care for natural hair, or just didn’t want to do the work, just say that! I saw the reviews on Google but tried to give Tamekia the benefit of the doubt, I wish I had listened. Save your time, your money and your natural hair and book elsewhere. Dallas is the wrong place to have that attitude, especially on the South Side. Karma is real and eventually she’ll learn her lesson.

TaQima Nance Very nice person. But my install was not done right as people brought it to my attention the closure lace didnt match and after a week it began falling apart.I reached out by email and sent pictures about fixing it. I didnt get a reply until 3 days later. After I replied when the best time to come. I got no reply. So I set an appointment though the menu items didnt match what I needed. I booked 4 days in advance for a shampoo and to fix the install for a Saturday because it was noticeable. I just wanted to fix it so I would be presentable for my husband birthday weekend. After booking the appointment I received confirmation. Confirmation was received the day before, so I was relieved. I showed up 10 minutes before and the shop was closed. I waited 20 minutes before calling, texting and emailing. When I called each time it went to voice mail. Til this day there has been no reply. I was extremely disappointed and saddened. It was a pretty expensive investment but I chose MK because I had watched the work that was done prior to making my first appointment. Very nice as I stated but lots of cut corners and low value for customer retention. Even if they didnt want to admit the install was messy and wanted to charge me to fix it, I was willing. I figured that may be the reason I didnt get a reply the first time I reached out, thus the purpose for setting an appointment. I have pictures but will not post. Best of luck to Mk Beauty in the future.
