Miss Petite

"My purpose of writing this review is to give constructive criticism as I feel this business is a wonderful idea for young children/tweens. I had an appointment for my daughter to get mermaid braids. This was my daughter’s first experience at getting her hair done in a salon type environment, we had not been to Miss Petite before and I wanted to treat her. She had seen images of the work done by this business on social media and was looking forward to getting her mermaid braids. The staff were friendly enough, the lady doing my daughter’s hair was a bit quiet (possibly because our appointment was towards the end of the day and was probably tired) she was nice and gentle with my daughter and made my daughter feel comfortable. Once the braiding was completed my daughter saw her hair and was so happy and loved them and the colours she chose. The braids were finished off with some glitter, gel and hairspray. My only suggestion for this part of the service is maybe for an option of scent free gel and hairspray (even non-aerosol) an alternative to be used or even an option for no product. I understand it may help finish the look and for fly-aways but should be an option. The scent from both products, especially used together was quite strong and triggered my daughter to start sneezing and have an allergy reaction not long after we left for the rest of the day/night. Unfortunately she woke around 1:23am the following morning asking for the braids/gel/spray to be taken out as the irritation to her nose and the sneezing from the smell of the products she could no longer tolerate. I did ask if she wanted the braids and product to be taken out and washed out a lot sooner but she said no as she really loved the braids. My disappointment isn’t with the actual braids but more so the money spent getting the service done only to have to take the braids out about 8 hours after the service and also seeing the disappointment my daughter was feeling. I feel this could have been avoided if the styling products used weren’t so strong smelling, my daughter would have been happy to keep the braids in. Since this business is marketed more for young children/tweens may I kindly and respectfully suggest to consider skin sensitivity/allergies to skin and scents when it comes to the styling products and products used in general. My daughter isn’t usually sensitive to products/scents used for her hair or skin hence why I didn’t ask for the products to be washed out at the establishment. My daughter was quiet upset and disappointed we had to take the braids out as she was looking forward to having them over the Easter weekend/holidays."

"Absolutely fantastic! We were super excited for this experience for our little girls. Rest assured it exceeded our expectations! We were greeted beautifully by two ladies (one was the owner) who made our girls feel so comfortable off they went from there. Both girls had an amazing time and were extremely happy! Thank you and we will be back! Highly recommend!"
