Rama Beauty and African Hair Braiding - Nicholas Ave ✂

I stopped by to get my hair braided today, I brought my own hair, got basic knotless braids with loose ends, they changed me $240, $60 MORE for some reason and didn't mention that they didn't know how to do the hair style or anything just told me to sit down. The final results looked fine when I left the salon but they put way too much gel and mousse in it that the braids was stiff solid and there were white sticky stuff all over my scalp. I can't sleep with all that on my head so I decided to quickly wash it off; one by one each human hair piece for the loose ends started falling out and the braid started to unravel, it haven't need on my head for 4 hours. hundreds of dollars wasted.

They are beyond rude, I was a returning customer I’ve been twice already but not anymore. The front desk clerk has no manners. They try to rush you in a chair before fully understanding and knowing what style yu want. NOT EVERYONE WANTS BOHO… The braided tried to convince me of a color I didn’t ask for. One lady told me to go buy my own hair, but the price will still be the same!! I told her that’s ridiculous, I’ll just go somewhere else she said okay bye and sat down. They’re head is a lil swollen because of their big Social Media presence but please don’t believe the hype, the owner and her workers needs a very humbling experience………..THE SHOP NEXT DOOR IS WAY WAY BETTER ASK FOR “Sye”..I found her after this terrible experience at Rama shop. Her business card is posted below

Got my hair done at rama beauty on 125th street on February 13th. The service was fairly okay and the braids were great but at the end they kept refusing to cut my hair when I told them I wanted a certain length multiple times before the service started. After begging for them to cut it they cut my hair while I was standing up holding all my stuff and not able to sit up straight, I left with my hair looking completely unsymmetrically cut and didn’t notice til I left due to having to rush to work. Called back and was told they couldn’t refund me, not even a small portion refund :(. I hate to leave a bad review but I had to go out of my way and pay someone $80 to get it fixed because the stylist at Rama wouldn’t cut it correctly.

Neighborhood - residential street; however, at tight at the light will bring you to many business, food, etc. There is alternate side (free) parking. Salon - small, quaint, and fairly clean Ambiance - peaceful Staff - hard workers; needs consistency with customers and to use discrepancy and respect speaking with their customers (cultural). The staff is fast (medium box braids, long, with 2 ppl braiding finishes in 2-3hrs). My hair, overall experience, and cost- I'll rate 7 of 10.

I just have to leave a review because I am so pleased with my experience. I just moved here from CA and had no idea of where the good braids shops are cuz I literally see them on every corner. I saw a woman at the Supermarket whose braids looked really good & I asked where she got them done and she said “3 months ago at Rama Beauty”. Her braids were 3 months old and still looked amazing. I instantly called They sent me the location at 9am and I went in about 11:30am. I wanted Boho knotless braids with 100% Human Hair ( not that Hairmix). I was greeted and assisted by a woman named Fatima. I explained to her exactly what I wanted from color, size and hair type. This woman went above and beyond to deliver, from working with me and what I desired and setting me up with the perfect braider. A
