Janice fit me in last minute on a holiday weekend to get my hair washed and styled while I was travelling. The salon was clean and comfortable. She was a super kind over the phone and even though she was very busy she was easygoing and professional throughout the appointment.

If you want a professional hairstylist, Mrs. Janice the owner at Chocolate City is the place to be. She has style and she takes the time to get to know her clients. Her salon is one of the cleanest fashionable spots here in Kansas City. Educated, Reliable, Impressive, Talented, Pragmatic, Inspirational, and Classy are all apart of the service that you will receive from Mrs. Janice’s Cultural atmosphere at Chocolate City. Book her, I promise you will not feel lament about it.

Mrs. Janice was a pleasant joy to have met! I am grateful how honest she was regarding my hair. She is very quick and neat!! When shampooing my hair, she handled my head with one hand and wiped the water off with the other. Talk about ambidextrous! I will definitely go back.

I came to Kansas City, Missouri for work and needed to get my hair done last minute. I googled a place and found Chocolate city salon. The owner, Janice took me in even though I called last minute. Janice exceeded my expectations and did an amazing job on my wash and silk press. The customer service was great and she is the sweetest lady.I will definitely be back when I’m in the city.I recommend this salon 100%. 😊

Jan has been a God send I have been going to Chocolate City for only a few months now and I only trust her with my hair. Jan is supremely talented not only technically, but I trust her vision in finding the right treatments for my hair type and also creating a cut that will compliment my face shape. Her cuts have changed the way I feel about myself and I always walk out feeling more confident. Jan has saved me from self-induced hair Disasters! She is the true master! I always feel home in Chocolate City with Jan and she makes her clients feel valued and respected. Go see Jan and you won’t be disappointed!”

The owner Janice is AMAZING and saved my entire day. I was scheduled at another salon that failed to write down my appointment so I took my hair down and showed up only for my stylist not to be there. I did a little research and came across Chocolate City. I called and told Janice my situation and she was so professional and pleasant and worked me in on the same day. On top of that my hair is extremely damaged from years of weaves and little maintenance to my real hair. She permed and cut me in a style that complimented me and made me confident despite my thinning spots. I have received many compliments and have already booked my next appointment to begin working with Janice to get me back to a healthy head of hair. On top of that she was very friendly with a great spirit and energy. Thank you so much for your service!!!

Janice did a silk press on my 13 year old daughters very thick and curly hair. Her hair looks great and I was given good details on how to maintain the style with her type of hair thats opposite of mine. Very thankful I found Janice and look forward to regularly allowing her to grow and treat my babies hair.

I had made an appointment and in less than 24 hours from booking it to the appt. Itself I was informed that we terminated an employee and I had to cover shifts. I tried to reschedule however the beautician I spoke with wanted a $45 cancelation fee for a attempted to reschedule $95 job. They use a website to schedule your appt and you must use a CC to reserve it. I explained that the cancelation disclosure did not mention a fee amount, just that one would be charged. If it were reasonable I wouldve paid it, I read thr apparently partial disclosure however since she wanted almost half of the total cost of service I will not be going there, nor did I pay the absorbatent fee. Shame on you.

I must thank Janice so much. What an amazing person she is on top of an amazing job on my hair. I got most of my hair cut really short to enable better growth, starting fresh. She did so amazing and really took her time with the cut and detail. Her spirit is so welcoming and you definitely feel beautiful walking away. You wont regret coming here. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Review №25

I live in Kansas, and its difficult to find a black hair salon for services, or a place that will do natural hair. For a reference, my hair is a 3c/4a combination. I scheduled a single process hair color to go honey blonde on virgin hair. Haha Janice informed me that this will be a double process. She did an excellent job, I ended up having to use 2 bottles of color but Janice persevered! She did and excellent job to get close to my curly ombre clip ins. I left my roots dark. I will definitely be back, as I do not like to dye my hair.

Review №26

Janice cut and styled my pixiecut from a picture that I showed her. I love that she was very very professional, knowledgeable about all types of haircuts, knows how to cut hair, uses professional chemicals, and didn’t keep me in her salon chair longer than I needed to be there. Janice is worth the drive from Fort Riley, KS (Junction City, KS) to Kansas City, MO to get my hair done. Down in Junction City there are no hairstylists who specializes with pixie cuts. I’ll be back every two weeks whenever I’m not conducting military training. I love my hair and so does my husband. Thank you Janice💋💋

Review №34

All I can say is Oh my!! Oh my!! I did a complete CHOP. My hair reached down to half my back.. And I cut it off.. My father just recently passed in June and he was a major part of my life and still is. He mentioned that I would look good in a short hair due.. I can only wish he could see it now.. I wish I done it sooner.. My mom picked out this style and I just went for it.. Janice was my stylist and I showed her the picture.. Ironically Janice has the exact same hair style I wanted.. Kinda like Hair-at-First-Sight!! She finished me in about 3 hours.. She is a little heavy handed lol but nothing that I am not used to.. She always asked if I was okay throughout because she knew she was heavy handed.. Cost was very reasonable!! Will be going back for my touch ups!! She also did explain how to keep up my hair because I am not used to short hair because I had long hair all my life..

VERY ADAPTABLE, DOESN’T BACK DOWN TO A CHALLENGEMiss Janice colored my hair for me today! There were a few things i didn’t do as a client, i didn’t send a picture of my hair and i didn’t tell her the right length! I said my hair was shoulder length but i’ve got about 3 more inches than that. Hair length is very important in the coloring process so you know how much product is needed. Miss Jancice was very i see standing with it and made it work! She is a great and friendly stylist and I love my results!

I came here based off Google reviews and I was not disappointed. When I called the number, the owner answered and not only did she answer my question and refer me to one of her stylists best suited for my desired style, but she gave me their personal numbers and told me to please call back if they didnt answer so she can help. I placed an appointment with Nita. She did a weave removal and natural hair blow out. She was very gentle with my hair and I truly left there feeling like she genuinely cared about my hair and health. Ill definitely be back. The parking is a bit weird but its on a main through way so you cant get lost finding it.

I’m a travel nurse, so in each new area I go to, I’m extremely careful when choosing a new stylist. I chose to try Chocolate City Salon based on the good reviews, the professional-looking website, and the many accolades and experiences that the owner, Janice, has to her name. I called and was able to get into the salon the next day. Ms. Janice was professional and very dedicated to her work, and was able to style my hair beautifully. I will return to her salon as long as I’m here.

I went in with hair that was damaged breaking thinning really bad hair. The owner Janice hooked me up. You can never go to a salon and get what you exactly want. She did my hair exactly like the picture i showed her. I am forever her client. Her experience and knowledge of you keeping your hair looking good is awesome. I love my hair. The day i left the shop i received so many compliments in less then 30 mins. I told them where i got my hair done and told them about my experience with Janice. I dont see myself going no where else. She is excellent.

I had first visited this salon about 5 months ago for a special occasion hairstyle that consisted of finger waves. The woman that had serviced me was Mancy. I returned 5 months later for the same hairstyle for a different occasion and was not disappointed again! I observed the owner, Janice always greeting her regular customers and new business with the same high energy. The stylist who work here are extremely professional and make their clients feel valued. The salon is very stylish and hygienic. This salon has fair pricing for fair work. Reasonably priced styles, professionalism, and the positive atmosphere is why I will keep returning!!

Im came into town for a school. My original hairstylist went on line to find someone to do my hair. After looking at website photos she selected Chocolate City. Ms Janice was just what the doctor ordered. Very professional. Treated me as though she known me forever. Also catered to me and assured me I would be pleased. VERY PLEASSED!! Not everyone can step in and do someone hair that they are not familiar with their hair texture. She is Absolutely Wonderful. Sent pictures back to my stylist. Gave her a 5 star.Thanks

I had the Best experience at Chocolate City! I am so hesitant for anyone to touch my hair but myself and my Mom, because no one does it right...Except for Chocolate City! Nita worked with my thick natural hair with ease and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it. I walked out of there the happiest I have EVER left a salon...ever! I won’t be going anywhere else nor I will be doing mine myself if I don’t have to. I’ll also add that my appointment started exactly at the time scheduled, my head was the only one being worked on by Nita, and I was out of there in record breaking time. All around, amazing experience!

Had a walk in appointment with a lady named Tracy Nunelly and she was terrible. I showed her what I wanted beforehand and she did nothing like the style I asked her to. I also asked her to wash my hair and she did not she just went right into styling it. She was not very social at all and acted as if she didn’t really want to do my hair. She did my hair in 20 minutes.I used to love this place but I will not be coming back.

Review №95

Tried out Chocolate City salon and the experience was the worst. Thought I found a weekly stylist, her name is Donita. The results were subpar at best. I paid a total of $185 for two styles I washed out immediately. Went back to confirm she was trash and I wasn’t tripping lol. First appoint was a walk in...got a trim and wash and finger coils for $80 looked basic and half done. Week later...tried something different got a quick weave for $105 same thing...washed it out as soon as I got home, was a waste of some good weave. My search for a decent reliable creative care about your hair health stylist continues.

Stylist was very nice. Whatever product was used however, caused a blistery rash on the girls head. Not that the stylist would have known it would. But since it did I dont think I will return. I dont expect her to change her products for my kids, Ill just go elsewhere.
