Customer Reviews
Braids were top tier. 10/10 so clean. Afgordable too waist length small braids was 320 (I got my own hair cuz I wanted specific colours but it would’ve been 350 with the hair included which is not badddd). Fast and clean work. Sweet woman.
Karen did such a beautiful job on my daughter’s box braids. From start to finish she was professional, gentle, and incredibly patient. The braids are neat, lightweight, and look amazing. You can tell she truly understands different hair textures and takes pride in her work. We are so happy with the results and will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
I got knotless midback length boho braids for 300, which was a good price for the area but I will be paying a bit more for somewhere else in the future. The human hair pieces weren’t cleaned up and some have already fallen out of the braid, the braids don’t lay flat at all and the sections are larger than any other place I’ve gotten smedium size done before. Overall it just felt/looks rushed. Karen was very nice and responsive over text. Glad this doesn’t seem to be most people’s experience.
Listen, if ever you wanted a braid stylist this is who you need to connect with. Karen was responsive, professional, sweet, kind, expedient, and knowledgeable. I got Boho braids and I didn't even know that I needed or wanted them. I contacted her for something I knew nothing about and she guided me into what I needed. The excellence is beyond. I left her salon with a look that I've never had in all my years of braiding styles. I'm a little bit older and my hair has been shedding. I was feeling very insecure about my hair and what the results would be. I left Karen's salon feeling like I was on cloud nine. Can I tell you that so many people stopped me on the street to ask me where I got my hair done. It was a very different feeling. The confidence I had and the way Karen made me
Karen was nice the place was neat and her technique is beautiful however, when I asked for a style and I didn’t get what I expected & I was very disappointed. Because she thought it was too much to do Fulani flip over braids without consulting me first. I didn’t get the desired hairstyle that I asked for so I did not take any pictures of myself during that time with the style she gave me. other than that she was nice,
