Oumou African Hair Braiding Company

Oumou is downright THE BEST in the world! I am not exaggerating: I am a nomad, traveling the world and braiding my very thin puffy hair (I am a white girl) for nearly 17 years. I did my micros everywhere: in usa, in Jamaica, in Mexico, in Thailand, in Bali, in India, God knows where else. NOONE has such magical hands that Oumou does. she a professional with years of experience, her touch is gentle and almost non-sensible. she never ever pulls your hair, she doesn't make super tight knots, which 99% of the braiders do. braids from Oumou stay easily up to 10-12 weeks, without sliding, without paining sculp and the most, most, nost important: when I take the braids out, there ia ZERO hair loss!!!! only those that would naturally come out with time. I used to lose 30-40% of my hair after eac

I asked for an appointment a week in advance. I came on time and there was no lady available to do my hair. Apparently the lady was “on her way” and I had to wait. The place also was running out of hair and was annoyed I didn’t bring my own hair… Would’ve been nice to know in the first place. After an hour of waiting I had to walk out. My time was disregarded. I made a hair appointment down the street instead. Needs better management and scheduling! People have lives. Very unprofessional.

The owner and the braider are very annoying. She gave me time to come at 10am and I called her in the morning to confirm she told me she will be 30mins late. I was coming from Northreading and I told her no problem. They did not get to the shop till 10:48am and they still have the gut to be yelling at me after I told them they need to open the door because I am freezing because I have been standing outside waiting for them. The owner called and started yelling at me. Don’t go there if you don’t want your time to be wasted.

Terrible. I asked them for medium butt length braids and they gave me jumbo boneless braids. And then I told them I didn’t want to continue because I didn’t like the hair, they said they won’t undo it and I still paid the full price. Why open a company knowing you can’t meet the needs of a client.

They do the best boho and regular knotless. The lady was very precise with my hair and didnt rush it but still took a reasonable time. you can tell they have years of experience with hair. My hair also grew so much after taking out my braids. This salon will always be my go to.
