If you have curly hair, do not go to this place to get it cut. If you know about and practice the CG (Curly Girl) method, run from this place. They heard of Deva Curl products but didn’t know anything about them or what the CG method was. They took a lot of time asking me questions about my routine and what I wanted from my appointment and seemed to listen to everything. I asked questions to which I did not receive satisfactory answers. I mentioned I noticed white flakes on my scalp but didn’t know if it was dandruff, dry scalp, or product buildup. They determined it was dry scalp, to which they instructed that I get a soft tip bristle brush and after wetting my hair but before shampooing it, I comb my hair until my scalp starts to tingle/hurt. One of the rules for curly hair is that you don’t take a brush to it if it can be helped. You use a pick, wide tooth comb or your fingers and only after conditioning the heck out of it to prevent hair breakage. I asked about hair products they would recommend for curly hair. The only products they had in the salon were for color treated hair. I never did receive any recommendations. I was not happy with the products they had and used on my hair. It made it so light and frizzed. It was windy that day, as soon as I walked out of the salon the “style” was swept into a big mess. I had to go home and wash my hair out and put my products in before I could go back out in public. Now to the hair cut… my hair’s length was mid-back. I was wanting a 2” trim. They asked about putting in layers to which I said that was fine. Something to frame my face. I knew that the shortest layers would need to be a bit shorter than 2” which I was fine with. They cut my hair sooo short (which I am still recovering from). My shortest layer was even with my eyes and the longest layers were shoulder length. Totally not what I asked for and did not want. By the time I realized what they were doing it was too late, I had to let them finish. There was no way of fixing it. They cut curly hair by spraying it with a lot of water and pulling the curl straight and then cutting it. When the curl is straightened out to be cut, more length is being cut off which makes the curl shorter when it’s in its natural state. A hair cut that should only have taken an hour and a half took two and a half hours. One of the things that we talked about was if my hair had ever been straightened and how long it took. I answered that it depends on the length of the hair and when my hair is long it can take 3 hours to straighten. This answer shocked them and they said that was waaay too long. How is that too long when it took them 2 ½ hours to cut my hair?! Obviously they have never tried to straighten curly hair or stubborn curly hair.

When I first made my appointment with Wilborn Hair Company, I walked through their door not knowing what to expect. I had scoured the web because I wanted a salon that would get the hairstyle I was imagining. From what I gathered from reviews on Wilborn, they were one of the best hair salons in Wichita. Now, after months of being a client, I can confidently say that they are THE best hair salon in Wichita. Gina gives each client such special, undivided attention, and works so hard to give them exactly what they want. She is a visionary. I went in wanting a very specific color of red ombre. Gina spared no effort to find me the EXACT color that I wanted. Shes my first and last choice for a hair stylist, hands down. Every time I get my hair done there, I walk out feeling like the most beautiful woman Ive ever seen! I love my hair, and I LOVE Gina and Wilborn Hair Company. Go see them. You will not regret it.

I went into this salon and boy was I in for a surprise. You will be pampered and this place can not even compare to other salons. I was amazed at how much detail and attention they pay to your hair. They will listen to exactly what you want and also give their opinion on what they think will look best if you dont have an idea of what you want. This is not an in and out salon, but Im sure if you are short on time they will do their best to get you out on time. It is also not like a typical salon atmosphere as it is quite small, like a hidden gem. I got a cut and color and am in love with it. Gina did my hair and was willing to work out a special deal for me. Im sure she will for you too!

I had my hair cut and colored at Wilborn Hair and had an AWESOME time!! I got pointers on how best to wash and dry my hair that I had no idea about and my hair has never felt better. I also had a hard time deciding on a color and was giving a new color that was a combination of the two that I liked!! My hair has never been this easy to style and take care of now that I know the proper way to do it, so going from wearing a ponytail/messy bun for the last two years to wearing my hair down every day has really boosted my self esteem. LOVE this place and is now my go to hair salon. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.

As part of my birthday present from my husband, I made an appointment for the first time with Gina at Wilborn and "WOW" what a gift it ended up being. Gina was so easy to talk to and consulted with me about what I wanted more than any other stylist Ive ever gone to prior. Then, when it came to shampooing my hair, the massage she gave not only to my head, but my neck, was so relaxing. Gina also cut my hair better than other stylists who charged much more! I trust her completely with my hair and cant wait to come back for color. She is definitely going to be my permanent hair stylist from now on.

I found Gina at Wilborn from reviewing the reviews on Google and Wilborns FB. I scheduled an appointment with Gina and then cancelled it since I did not know anyone personally that have gone to Gina. I ended up rescheduling and tried her. I am so glad I did. I got the best service, best hair cut and best weave ever. Gina took a lot of time with me on my first visit to be sure I was happy with the colors I picked for my weave. I took my daughter to Gina yesterday for color and trim and she loves it and so do I. Dont be hesitant to try Gina like I was. You will love your hair and Gina!!

My girlfriend goes to Gina at Wilborns and she shared nothing but top notch recommendations. I was a little skeptical at first because I am usually a $7 haircut kind of person; get in, get out; hair is shorter. But after an hour long session at Wilborns I felt like a special customer. They treated me very nice and for lack of a better term pampered me. I have decided that going to Wilborns is definitely worth the little bit of extra money because I feel good afterwards and damn, do I look good!
