★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Andrea W · May 2017

My experience was terrible! I was the first in the shop and the last one out. Two other customers with the same hair style started 2 hours after I did and still finished before me. I warned the owner that my hair was thin and I needed smaller braids. She agreed, but did not deliver. She attached the braids and allowed a kid (her daughter I assume) to finish them. The kid braided REALLY slow and sloppily. When i informed the owner that i was not happy with the kid's work & asked for her to do my hair as she promised, she got upset & did a rush job. She made the braids way too big, & they are not neat at all. She did not properly clip them. Some braids are knotted on the ends, some aren't, some have knots in the middle of the braid and they've been falling out constantly. On top of all of th

The shop is extremely dirty. My hair didn’t even last a week before my braids started coming out and I had crochets. The braids were so loose and she left many spaces where hair should have been. When you tell them you want it a certain way they try to act like you don’t know what you’re talking about. I would never go back there again. Truly a waste of money.

My experience was bad , because I let mimi do my sew in and invisible , it's look terrible, my braids fell out within 2 days , she did the sew in french braids too big , I went back to her, for she can fix it. She tell me she have to get home to her baby I point out everything that was wrong with my hair she didn't care. Ladies make sure you look at your hair very good before you leave out anyone shop . And one thing I learn all african can not do sew in and braids my hair look like it's been up for 3 months. And I don't want to wast $150
