I am writing this lengthy review on behalf of my sister who is still very emotional regarding the long-term effects from the aftermath of the services she received. I found this salon via Yelp for my sister. She called Kanika Baker first to discuss availability and her hair condition and ultimately made an appointment because she felt she was dealing with a reputable stylist with experience with clients who have traction alopecia. On December 14, 2024 my sister went to her appointment and was recommended to get a relaxer (my sister has been relaxer free for several years) and a rinse by Kanika Baker. She agreed and was ecstatic to see the new hairstyle (she had been wearing braids, wigs and headwraps while trying to figure out how to start wearing her real hair). She received the relaxer, cut, style, weave pieces and what she was told was a rinse. Well, a few weeks later when the style was old and she was removing the tracks and preparing to wash and condition her hair she noticed her hair was shedding bad and was "coming out" just finger combing it. She called me frantic and asked me if I knew why this could be happening. I told her the only way that could happen is if she got a relaxer and semi-permanent hair color. She insisted she was told she would be getting a rinse which can be applied the same day as a relaxer. Semi-permanent hair coloring cannot. So now she is confused and decides to just wear a small afro while conditioning her hair, but nothing is helping. She then goes to another hair salon and was told that based on the breakage and visual appearance she did not receive a rinse she received a semi-permanent or permanent hair coloring and relaxer and those two should never be applied at the same time. So as a result, she had to get most of her hair cut more so in an attempt to salvage anything and it is taking a toll on her self-esteem. I feel bad because I read the reviews for The Real Mane Event Hair Studio and suggested the salon may be a good fit. Unfortunately, we were both wrong and left confused as to why an experienced beautician would apply a relaxer and semi-permanent hair coloring to anyone let alone someone with traction alopecia. This has been a very emotional and expensive experience sadly.
Good Morning Erica, Thanks for your review. It’s very concerning and very unfortunate that your sister has had an experience like this. I’m not sure who your sister is and This is the first time I am hearing anything about this and looking at the date of service 12/12/2024 shows no new client for that day. Has she tried to reach out It definitely sounds like there’s definitely something else that can be going on that could be figured out with the stylist directly. I understand you feel responsible because you found my salon for her. Our number is 888-507-6235 or 6125163680 directly. I’d love to speak to your sister directly about it. Thanks again for your feedback. I would not have known- Kanika

Kanika is an artist. The care that she takes with each client—even when she is booked to capacity—is so amazing. She is truly invested in the health of our hair AND the health of our minds, bodies, and spirits. Each visit leaves me feeling gorgeous and full of love. There’s a sisterhood in her salon. I’ve literally made friends with other clients while waiting for my appointment or while they are waiting for theirs. Good vibes. Great service! Get in with her if you can!

Best service in the twin cities. Kanika has grown my hair down my back on two occasions in my adult life and helped me recover from iron deficiency hair loss. She can literally do everything and has the best hair on hand
