"I live 2 minutes from the other location and go out of my way to shop here because everyone is so helpful and pleasant . Do yourself a favor and go to this Armstrong McCall location even if it's out of your way . They're great ."
"I went in on February 3rd & purchased a dye for my hair they had 2 ladies n the store just standing around one act like they didn't want to help me look for a dye the other just standing there looking stupid then wants to say all that over 8 dollars while I'm digging for my change so I told the cashier you know what here take it out the dollar as the lady giving me mY change back she yells chaching. It didn't dorn on me till aFter I had gotten my Change no way to treat a customer will not be getting my service again! Having her kids there while on the clock talking bout going file her taxes & catching a bus to do them shame on you. & yes all that over 8.00!!"
"Consistently I can find something here. They sell loads of items such as hair products, human & synthetic hair, cosmetic jewelry, t-shirts, leggings, shoes, socks, cosmetic products just to name a few. While I find this store not as vast as others, I am able to find items that other beauty supply stores don't carry; hence my frequency.The prices are right & the owner of the store is friendly & super helpful with your selections. My only gripe is that sometimes while assisting you they will speak to one another in their native tongue. I find that to be rude in this particular situation. Honestly, I can really care less what they're saying, but it seems dubious when they speak to you in English and one another, although it's evident that they understand English, in their native language. Other than that, I've no concerns. The prices are fair. Hard to find items. And friendly staff make me a frequent flyer here."
"DO NOT COME HERE! GIVE YOUR MONEY TO SOMEONE WHO VALUES YOU!!If I could give 0 stars I would!!! I came into this place and a lady came in as well to ask questions about the hair she was buying....I guess the worker felt she was asking too many questions and told the customer "Okay you have to hurry up because I have customers"...I was so taken aback!The lady (customer) then responded, "Ma'am I am a customer and a business owner and that's no way to take me like that." Then the worker look at me with a smile and asked "You need anything sweetie?" I told her that wasn't nice and cool to do a customer like that." She told me that if i knew what I was talking about then I wouldn't have said anything and not to get into the conversation!" Wow!!!!Sooooo I walked out without purchasing!The lady was so rude not once, not twice, but three times!!!!"
"I was walking by and the exquisite scents literally pulled me in. They make all their own perfumes. I love jasmine and they have it. The store is adorable. Lots of scents and smells abs wonderful things for your nose. I love the jasmine. Jasmine (the scent) means spiritual ascension and purity. They also gave me some lavender samples and I look fitted to trying them."
"Beauty supply stores can often have a bad rep but H Beauty is the truth! No gimmick! The owner and his wife have always been pleasant but today was exceptional! I only get my braiding hair from this place. So I went in right when they opened to get my hair and other necessities. They have a nice inventory through the store. It's easy to shop, it's clean inside and it doesn't look hoarded. While I was shopping it started raining really hard. After paying for items, the owner grabbed your bags and his umbrella to walk me out! I was so shocked, he walked me to my car. As I was about to pull off, he ran back because I had dropped my change! It truly costs nothing to be a Good Samaritan."
"Great place to buy your supplies. Staff is very funny and friendly, always ready to help."
"Wooooo!!!! I believe in supporting SMALL BUSINESSES especially on small business Saturday. What better way to pay it forward, give back to the community and support a local business than to go shopping on Small Business Saturday. I stopped into this establishment as recommended by a couple friends and I definitely was pleased. All of the products are either handmade or sourced from other small business owners. I love, love, love, love this!!!! This really makes me happy inside. To go into a small business and see her also helping the community with their products... It's just a circle of paying it forward. She has an array of products; products for your hair to personal hygiene products to organic teas to jewelry and even pet products, Fido can get his 'smell good' on as well. On this day, I couldn't help but touch everything in the shop, well maybe not everything, but 80% of the items NOW have my fingerprints on them, lol. And need I say, that I walked out with a bunch of great finds. I love that she takes the time to educate you about each and every product should you ask. And all of it makes sense, Yoni oils, sprays for men's "downstairs region", body butters, which are better than lotion because they are not water-based... See how I did that. I plan to go back and make more purchases and not just on small business Saturday, but on a regular basis. The products that she has are wholesome, the ingredients are very fragrant and invoking. I love that the packaging is very clean. I love the brown dark, amber colored containers with the white labels. It gives you the feel on a high-end day spa... ohhh maybe she'll add that, where's the comment box... lol. #SmallBusinessSaturday #SelfeWellness #ILoveItHere #DoesABodyGood #CreamsAndThings #SupportLocalBusinesses #SmallBusinessesAreTheBackboneOfOurEconomy"
"Kingdom is an accurate word to describe how massive this beauty supply is. What they lack in the usual neighborhood charm of the smaller beauty supply stores that we all know and love, they make up for by having just about any product you could possibly need. Edge control? Got it. Lashes? Got it. Shampoo? Got it? Apparel? Got that too. I haven't explored their hair options for braiding, extensions, or wigs, but the walls are FILLED so I'm sure you can find what you're looking for here. I love the large selection of brands and product lines for hair care. Nine times out of ten, I'm able to find exactly what I need and something new to try along the way. Honestly, the options can be a little overwhelming if you aren't going in with an idea of what you're looking for--but if you're experienced in this hair store/beauty supply game then you know what's up. The store is well organized and easy to navigate. If I'm not mistaken, they also have a rewards program for those who frequent. Indeed a one stop shop."

Back in May, I was walking around the quarter with my friend after a meal at The Napoleon House, and we saw this cool little place. Both being fans of all things scents, we decided to hop in and take a look! Open since 1931, this is a family run shop that has lots of history, and lots to offer. In the back, has a little clothing boutique (I didnt see anything for men, or anything close to my size for that matter), so I stayed up front, where they offer all sorts of home and beauty products. One thing I would like to mention is that when it comes to scents, I usually enjoy anything that is vanilla or bourbon or shame forward. This store really doesn't have those, which is cool, because it expanded my horizons on my scent smelling game.They have all of their scents available to smell, and the friendly staff will help you if you have any questions. For that trip, I got a few things for my mom (as it was her birthday that week) and she enjoyed them thoroughly. I loved the gift bag I got it in. Even one guy on the street laughed at me since I was carrying it around, but I think he was just jealous!I came back the week of my birthday (in early Dec) to get some more treats, and to see what else they had to offer. They had a few seasonal scents (including Fir) which I had stocked up on. It was nice to go back- and it was funny too, since this is usually a place that dudes don't go in there solo, but hell, to each their own. If you are a fan of scents and are looking for a local gift from a company that has been around for almost 100 years, I highly recommend checking out! You might even find something for yourself in there (maybe one day I will for me, just not the clothes!). Not to be missed!

Not a friendly environment! The Clerks barely speak. They Will not offer to assist you "even if your standing there needing help" They spend all their time talking to each other and gossiping. I have Been feeling a bad vibe from this location the last two times I visited. I've never in my 27 years been treated like I wasn't a valued professional stylist/customer by ARMSTRONG MCALL until now....The stock is always low or non existent. Shop elsewhere!!! Go to canal:Nice folks there who greet you and happy to assist.

STAY AWAY!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!Customer service is deplorable to say the least!After being sold the wrong item and having to get out of the chair at the salon in order to go back and get the right product I was told ---all sales are final. This was told to me after refusing to pay the $5.46 up charge in the difference of hair! Of course I eventually had to pay it because I was literally in the process of getting my hair done when my stylist realized their error. Oh by the way, the store is in the process of remodeling so you are walking around trash and dust and no light -so of course, they are having trouble finding their own products which made us take 25 minutes to simply find a replacement of their error!!!I have never left a store actually seething in my life. I have been buying from Zury for years and due to the gentleman with the glasses and my treatment he will never see me or anyone I know again!!! There are too many other supply stores!! Please choose wisely, your time and your money are more valuable than the treatment from them!!! Run!!!!

This might be one of the best shopping day things you can do while visiting New Orleans as a tourist (and there's nothing tourist-y about it). If you're on your honeymoon, guys: 100% you should book a custom fragrance blending session for your wife. It takes about an hour, evidence of the care being put into it, and well worth the $95 for a woman who loves perfume. Lori was great at her job, and super friendly.You'll leave with a good size bottle of your custom blend, and your formula will be on file forever for future purchases (which can be incorporated to every product that smells good you can imagine). There's alot of history in the business (150+ years or so - check the website) and the shop is loaded with cool perfume related odds and ends. Awesome customer service, not a rushed experience by any means. We're so happy we did this and got to meet Lori. The vintage perfume bottles and other old school french-style perfume accessories were a nice touch. They even took an appointment for us on a day they were closed (limited hours due to COVID).I'm looking forward to doing business with this place for a loooonnnggggg time. It's really the gift that can keep on giving once you have your custom blend.

The only reason I give 4 stars is b/c of how closely stocked everything is. The store is clean...the staff are friendly and helpful..its a work in progress, but I will definitely be back If you dont like it go across the street to the Beauty Connection.

"For the longest time I have struggled with a dry itchy scalp! I got to the point I was so frustrated that I just wanted to cut all of my hair off and give up! I was sitting in a shop one day and I met Ms Bee. She said I know what's wrong with your scalp it's just dry. But I have a product that can help you with that. At first I said to myself I have heard this before but I decided to give it a try and much to my surprise this was like a gift from God! I use to scratch my scalp until it bled! I needed some relief and Ms Bees Natural Essentials was a heaven sent. I started using this product over 5 years ago and my life hasn't been the same. After visiting doctor after doctor. Prescription after prescription I could not get any relief. I was basically reduced to tears! Ms. Brenda assured me that my situation would get better and within a matter of a month my issue was CURED!!! Yes you heard it hear first I am CURED!!! My dry itchy scalp is gone! My hair is not dry anymore. I now feel normal! Ms. Beez always says quench your thirsty mane!! I'm going to add scalp! My hair and scalp is healthier even my face. I used to have dry patches in my eyebrows as well. I use this product on my face as a daily routine and All of my dry skin is gone! One jar or her miracle moisturizer will last about two months if you use it right. You don't need a lot just a little. It's stimulates your scalp to promote healthy hair and skin! You need to stop by or go online and grab your jar TODAY!!! It has changed my life and I know it will change yours too! If you struggle with dry scalp and skin you need this in your life... I learned about it 37 years too late. I have suffered with my condition for as long as I remember but not anymore! Thanks Mz Beez!!

"I was today years old when I discovered the glory that is Tower Beauty.I was on the hunt for some gold stockings to wear with my Mardi Gras outfit (it's never too early to start planning). Normally I would just hop onto Amazon and be done with it, but I'm no longer online shopping, because I want to keep local businesses alive- a suggestion on Facebook brought me here. For some reason, I always assumed this was just a hair care store, but I was so wrong. Y'ALL, if you're in the market for inexpensive makeup, leggings, stockings, jewelry or undergarments, this is the place!I found the gold stockings that I was looking for and they were on sale for $2! Boom! Sure, they aren't the highest quality, but so what? They're enough to last me at least one day and that's good enough for me. They also have a wide assortment of fishnets that are good for costumes as well. I didn't buy any makeup, but they have really affordable name brands like Nyx and a big selection of perfumes and body sprays too. This place is a treasure trove of cheap supplies and I will definitely be back."
"Moved to town recently which is always the hard part of a new place - finding someone you trust with your curls. Callie asked me a ton of questions to understand how my hair works, what I wanted, and confirmed how short it was going to be (based on what I asked for and made sure I was 100% comfortable with the shortness. Super happy with how it turned out and ready for the hot weather this summer."
"Ayman Assisted me and provided great customer service. This store has an extensive collection of hair care products (potions, lotions, sprays), styling tools (flat irons, curling irons), wigs, weaves, hair flair, shoes, jewelry, and even shoes. The entire staff is helpful and kind.Shukran jazeelin!"
"I work as an accountant next door to this store. On my most recent visit, I was chased out of the store and accused of stealing foundation. I'm appalled especially considering how much money I've spent there over the 4 years I've worked in this neighborhood. In fact, I pass the owner multiple times a week on my way to the gym. No more! I can't believe the racism and poor customer service of this place. Especially in defense of cheap, probably toxic makeup. Avoid giving this business your money if you can."
"Came here for a friend to get a few beauty items. Beautifully decorated, it smells amazing! Fragrance of camomile and lavender fills the air. The owner and staff were very knowledgeable on products and services. Wax, facial and soap making classes also available."
"This place is great. Competitive pricing, lots of products and the most helpful staff I have ever encountered ina beauty supply store setting. Not to mention BP carries trendy hair accessories, clothing, jewelry, butt lifters, corsets, makeup, and shoes! This place has every frickin' thing.Whenever I am in need of hair products, blinged out Saints like Fleur De Lis apparel, reasonably priced formal accessories or unique evening clutches, this is my go to store in the metropolitan area. My most recent visit was for a pair of long formal gloves (black) which were a last minute addition to my carnival ensemble. The price was $7.99, which is better than Amazon pricing and does not involve shipping costs."
"This is a pro-only store for cosmetology professionals. The staff is friendly and helpful. They went to great lengths for me the other day to see if they could order a product for me. They were out of some things, which is the only reason I didn't give them a 5-star rating, and some things they were out of on the floor, they had in the back. But they were more than happy to help when I asked. This is my default place for supplies for my business. They carry a good number of product lines and are able to advise on the products themselves. They also have a rewards program, so you earn points for all your purchases."
"We soooo needed a bath bomb store in Metairie! Every time I've been to this store I've been greeted warmly and help is always easy to find. It's a small place, but is well organized and doesn't feel cramped. Also, everything is all natural and with my sensitive skin, that's a huge plus. The prices are very competitive for a spa type place and they run specials all the time! Today I was able to pick up 4 large bath bombs for $20, and since my daughter needed a birthday gift for a friend, this was a great option. And the scents are amazing!!! Today they had a mint scented Mardi Gras bomb with a baby inside! We didn't buy it as it was a pricier item and wasn't included in the sale bombs, but what a great idea. The People's Choice bombs today smelled amazing and were included in the sale. Score.They make and sell, bath bombs, candles, soaps, lotions, scrubs, lip balm and lots of other luxurious goodies. Today the lady working the register explained to me that this store was born out of a mom's desire to make sure her daughter used only natural products, as she had been very sick as a child. Bravo to that mom. The fact that they can offer natural products at these prices will keep me coming back."
"Absolutely the best beauty supply store I have ever been to. I've been shopping this store since their previous location at the other end of the strip mall where they are currently located; at least 10 years. The owner and staff are endlessly helpful and polite. When they don't have what you're looking for, which is rare, they are very interested in knowing what the product is so that they may order it.I look forward to many more years of shopping with them."
"This store has a variety of all things hair and more. What I like about the store is that it is fully stocked. Outside of hair bundles, wigs, and hair products, they also sell clothing. Cool place that will meet a lot of your beauty needs."
"This beauty supply store has everything you'll ever need!!! One associate is great and has been working there for years but the others need more customer service experience .... Overall great"
"I went to Beauty Express in Central City to get some hair products and to find out where I should go to get my hair done. The store is like many hair stores, but what makes it stand out is the large array of products it has, for ethnic hair. Beauty express has everything you could imagine would ever be in an ethnic hair store, from relaxers, to edge control, to kanekelon hair extensions, to Malasian remy! One issue I have though is the accessibility of the various hair products, as they're all located on the periphery along the wall, behind the counter, and you have to ask for assistance to get anything down to take a closer look. The place is cluttered, but that's to be expected, since how else are you going to display and feature the wide array of black hair moisturizers? If you know what you're looking for prior to coming in, you're all set, if you don't, you might get a bit lost in the madness. Overall, Beauty Express has everything I think I could ever need from a hair store for my hair, and the staff are friendly and willing to help!"
"Okay, so I don't even know if you can really consider this a Sephora. This is like the MAC store at Dillard's- it's a much smaller version, and while you will be able to find a few things you like, you need to go elsewhere to get the full experience.I was here looking for some foundation- it seems that I always have to switch up my foundations because my skin gets irritated. The girl working here was helpful, but she wasn't successful in finding a foundation that matched my skin tone to my satisfaction.They offer other makeup things here, but if you are looking for a big selection, you'll be better off going to the big store at Lakeside."
"This is my favorite beauty supply store and I have been going here for years. They sell the best of the best at low prices.I was able to find my now "signature" red nail polish here, "Ruby Pumps" by China Glaze. They also carry an excellent array of liquid eyeliners in various colors including black and even dark blue.This is also the only place that I will buy bobby pins. I have really thick hair, so the cheapo "Goody" brand can't stay in place. They have heavy duty pins that stay put in my hair all day and night.Their selection of hair care products is out of this world and it is where I discovered what I call my "magic wand", my Helen of Troy hot air brush, that gives my hair a pretty wave, without having to roll it.Join the Sally Club for discounts and specials!"
"Nice store with large selection of beauty supply, hair and pretty much everything else you need to look great."
