I was on vacation and needed to get my daughters hair done, they were able to get me in the next day and we were in a bit of a hurry so she even brought extra girls in to help get my daughters hair finished fast. Seriously the best braids I’ve ever had in my daughters hair. They use good quality hair and was extremely friendly. The braids were tight, they were clean, they look to beautiful. I would highly recommend

An excellent African hair salon: professionalism, precision, and true mastery of natural hair textures. Truly high-quality work.

The ladies here are really nice and do a great job with braiding. I always get box braids just because that's what I like but I see other people coming and going with different styles that are also well done. They have hair of different colors in the salon already so you don't have to bring your own hair. That being said, it's not as wide a selection as you would find at an actual hair shop so if you have a specific color that's a bit unique in mind you should probably bring your own hair (today in the shop someone was upset that they didn't have baby blue hair and I was like, "that's not exactly a common color.") The other thing I appreciate is that they will have a 2nd person braiding my hair if they're free to make the process go faster. If you let them know you have to be out by a cert

Good customer service, professional and talented. Always feels like I'm at home! Very comfortable atmosphere.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Hobbs Ali · Jun 2025

Braid too tight. Took out a lot of my hair where I was already thinning in spots. I should have known better because I stopped going to them for a while because the same girl that sits in the front braided my hair too tight last visit.
