I went here with my son to get simple pop smoke braids not only did we wait for 2 hours because the girl was at the beauty supply store my son was so disappointed with the outcome of these braids. Just looking at them there’s so many things wrong with this especially when you pay for someone to do a professional job. Never ever again. We came home and took them out immediately such a waste of money.
I got my hair braided by BB in June of 2025 When I made the initial appointment, she told me it would take about 4 hours to do my hair. My appointment was for 10 am and when I arrived, she was there and ready to do my hair, which was a plus. The style took her 2.5 hours to complete. I noticed the time frame was cut short because she was using a lot of my own hair in each braid. I also noticed that when she got closer to completing the style, she had run out of my own hair and began using tiny strands of hair to fill in the spacing on my scalp. By the time she finished, I noticed that I had a large part that made it look like a bald spot because she used to much hair in the other braids to get done quickly because she had another client waiting. I wasn’t unhappy with the outcome because I w
B B has been doing my hair for 20 years and my daughter who is now 10 since she was 9 months. She's very knowledgeable on how to treat your own hair not just another African braiding place!!! We love her!
They are NEVER ON TIME! First time I was told 8:30am, the shop the was closed and no one showed up until 9:30. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried them again. Again, I called earlier in the week and I was told 9am for an appointment on Friday. I called Thursday night to confirm for 9am . Got there Friday morning at 8:50am and waited until 10:05am and no one was available to do my daughter's hair so we left. So unprofessional!!!!! A waste of my time and gas!
My 15 Year old granddaughter brought in a picture of how she wanted her hair. They said they can do it. The braids she wanted were a nice natural size. However they attached humongous braids on small sections of her hair. The amount of hair they attached to each small section was very unhealthy to hold from her scalp. When my granddaughter called me to tell me this, I called them immediately to inform them they are not doing her hair like the picture she showed them. The woman was yelling at me saying “there’s a PICTURE then there’s REALITY” ?!— SAY WHAT ??? You are being paid to do her hair like she asked - not the way you feel like doing it. If you couldn’t do it like she requested , then say “ I can’t do it”. By this time her hair was only half done and they knew my granddaught
