Silky Beauty Supply

Buyer beware! This place is great if you want to have the employees argue with you over the quality of hair you received from them supposedly unused and if you have expectations of buying real human hair you will likely be sold knockoff fiber hair that arrives rusted.
I purchased hair that claimed to be «real human hair» and once I took it out of the box I could see rust marks… hair should not rust, fiber however, which is what I’m convinced they sold me, would. The woman argued with me that maybe I did this or perhaps it was makeup of hair dye… once again proving to be used is what she decided to clapback with. What kind of shady business cannot back the quality of their products and blame the consumer for crap merchandise they sell day in and out and refuse to refund me despite the conflicting verbiage on their receipt stating a possibility to? No customer deserves this. I would drive farther and spend more for better service, but common decency should be free. Also, do not say you are doing me a favor when you refuse to refund me. You are doing a disservice by scamming people.

Very nice store, but wigs are WAY to expensive. Staff is nice. 2 stars for prices of wigs. Large selection. Worth taking a look.

Went shopping for the first time there to purchase a specific hair dye, which they didn’t have. They mostly carry loreal, clairol, and wella. They have a nice variety of nail polishes (I got some nice fall colors for $ 1.99) and awesome lip liners for $ 1.49! I noticed they carry Nioxin, which are fantastic hair products. It seems to me they are the mecca for hair extensions, weaves and wigs. They have an entire plethora of them. It is a big location so go with time so you can go aisle by aisle. I also saw some costume jewelry. The checkout guy had an enjoyable vibe. They close at 8 pm.

I went here 2 years ago for my extensions and I would’ve given this place a 5 out of 5 star rating. So I decided to let my friend check this place out and she was completely unsatisfied. There was a big scene at the checkout because they did not match her color correctly, got the length wrong, and tried charging her $ 400 instead of $ 200 because they didn’t know her hair was that thick when I asked her repeatedly to look at her hair before she makes a purchase. As the lady put the extensions in the look on her face was pure shock of how bad it looked so she tried other ideas but nothing worked. We then talked to the manager and she was pointing fingers back at me and saying «it’s my fault because I recommend her here». That pissed me off beyond extreme and I demanded a refund and didn’t get one because it’s ‘our fault’. This place is ridiculous and you’ll have better luck anywhere else or Sally’s.

A friend of mine directed me to this location because I needed a half wig. I neeeded something that would give me Long hair and match my current color, I was fiarly hard to match, but lucky enough they had something that worked.
The prices ranged from realtively inexpensive to. HOLY COW. I found one for about $ 60 and it was the perfect color match. I am VERY happy to have it. You can bet I’ll be going back to silkies any time I need to.

Sometimes it feels like, you’ve seen one then you’ve seen them all. This is typical black hair beauty supply store; I’m always able to find what I need and expect. They have items like shampoos, conditioners, relaxers, wigs, make-​up, hair styling equipment like flat irons and blow dryers.
There’s little shopping carts which is helpful because a lot of places similar to this only have baskets to carry which can get heavy.
I don’t know of other beauty supply stores in this area that is like your typical black hair store, so the location is convenient for me. But there are other similar stores in St. Petersburg and Tampa that has a wider selection of products.
