Jelani's commitment to the highest standards of services and professionalism prove that Jelani's Natural Hairstyles make a difference! (1 of 3)

Thanks to the creative talents and vision of Debra Ottley, I discovered the freedom and soulful nature of locks. She helped me develop the luscious locks which have become my signature style. She's a truly gifted hairstylist, who also happens to have an amazingly positive spirit.

I've been a client of Debbie's for a very long time. I travel from New Haven, Connecticut to her shop because I know that Debbie does what she does, not as a service, but out of passion for African American natural hair styles. You feel cared about at Jelani's. Debbie is very knowledgeable about her craft. Professionalism and individualized attention are her strongest attributes.
