Braids by Akinyi

I booked an appointment with Vivian based off of all of the positive reviews and beautiful pictures of her work that were posted on Google, and let me tell you...SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I requested small knotless box braids, and they came out absolutely perfect. The process took about 6- 6 1/2 hours, and Vivian and her helper Ashley (I think that was her name) are really just lovely people. Overall I am very happy with my experience, and will definitely be coming back soon!

Akinyi gave me one of the best hair salon experiences ever. She pays attention to every detail and makes sure she is meeting her client's needs. The end result was incredibly beautiful and the process of getting it done was extremely pleasant. Will definitely use her again (even though I had to travel over 2 hours round-trip). Wish I could give her 6 stars! Highly recommended.

I had a lovely time while Akinyi did my hair! She was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. My hair appointment was fairly long and I was worried it would be awkward, but it was quite the opposite! She was lovely to talk to and I will definitely go back! (I actually just booked my next appointment!!)

I wish there was an option for zero stars. My daughter made an appointment 3 weeks ago with Vivian to get soft locs. Vivian confirmed her appointment then for September 5th at 9:30am. On the morning of September 5th at 8:58am on our way to the shop, we receive a text message(not a courtesy call) from Vivian stating she didn't know it was a holiday and need to move the appointment. She continue to state that she does not book on holidays. Everybody knows that the day is Labor Day. Most braiding shops in the area are open to support kids hair especially for back to school. My teen daughter panics and text back Vivian to ask her when she can get her hair done because she start school on Wednesday. We did not receive a call back neither did she pick up her phone. I called her phone because at

She was amazing. Made me feel so welcome And comfortable. Not rude or nasty like many shops nearby And my extensions look amazing. Will be back next month. Best I've found and so far. Thanks so much
