About

Milly Johnson founded the salon. She moved to Tucson in 2008, and helping friends and neighbors with their hair gradually grew into Milly's Fab. The salon says it has been serving clients since 2010.

The salon describes its mission as protective styling that celebrates natural hair while keeping cultural heritage at the center. It calls itself Tucson's premier destination for authentic protective styling and natural hair care, and states it has more than 10,000 happy clients and 15+ years of experience in natural hair care and protective styling. These are the salon's own claims.

A visit starts with a free consultation, with no obligation, to help choose a style. Hair detangling uses conditioner, detangling products, wide-tooth combs, detangling brushes and fingers, and is offered for severely tangled, matted or neglected hair. Estimated appointment lengths run from about 1 to 2 hours for detangling and 1.5 to 2 hours for interlocking, up to 4 to 8 hours for box braids. Every twist installation comes with detailed aftercare instructions.
