Customer Reviews
Management and braiders have become super lazy and greedy. My French curl braids are unraveling and falling off. They make you pay before the hair is finished and refuse to give a refund even though they know they messed up your hair. The manager yells at the braiders in French thinking no one will understand but I understood the whole conversation. The manager told the braiders that the hair was very ugly and that they did a very bad job but smiled in my face saying it’s nice. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY and TIME HERE. It is always crowded sometimes with no place to sit and they will squeeze you into a corner with no mirror or comfortable seating. Also pay attention to their pricing. If you are not a regular they will charge you more even if your style is less tedious. Medium knotless braid
This is my 2nd visit only because the first one was exceptional from service to hairstyle. If I could give a zero review I would!! They truly need a different process of scheduling appointments because no one knows what the other is doing. I scheduled this visit in advance requesting for the previous braider and assured I was confirmed for the knotless boho bob. Mind you this was done previous by a braider and on their business page. I also provided pictures with my requested hairstyle during the appointment phase. Fast forward to the morning of my appointment. I was there 30 min earlier than the appointment time of 8am. I sat until 9 until the one lady had to keep calling the owner to confirm my appointment and a few other people as they arrived which caused me to not be serviced on tim
Absolutely loved my braids, they added the right amount of curls for me so that it was a perfect braid to curl ratio. I asked for small boho knotless and I got the exact size and length that I wanted. This service was super quick, no longer than 6 hours.
I repeat: do not come here. Please. If you have plans to do something productive, don't come here. They will use you to waste your time. I was there at 9am and never left up until 10pm I hated myself and wished I never come here I will never step foot here again in my life. I will advice please don't go.
please do not be fooled by the stellar reviews.. this shop does not deserve your business!! first of all there’s ROACHES everywhere. i’ve visited this shop four times. initially my appointment was pleasant (roach-free) but since then with each visit has gotten progressively worse.. the staff separates the boho hair away from where you can see them so that they can tell you you’ve run out of hair (when you really haven’t). this is when they STEAL your boho hair!!! i didn’t 100% believe they were until i asked where the rest of my boho hair was & the owner quickly responded with, “we don’t steal or take your hair”………. i definitely didn’t accuse them.. i just inquired about the whereabouts of MY boho hair. also appointments mean nothing to them, you will still wait for a braider. it is clear
