My mom came here for a braid takedown, and the experience was terrible. The lady doing the service was so slow that my mom had to help take her own braids out. Then they had the nerve to charge $100 with no wash or anything included. That’s outrageous. Go to AMY’S instead! they’re fast, professional, and include a wash in the price. Don’t waste your time or money here.

No one in the shop knew how to do butterfly braids and I brought my own hair which they didn't use. I GOT FOUR BRAIDS THAT IWere OF DIFFERENT SIZES. AND THEY CHANGED $100. First and last time going there. I been to 5 countries on the continent of africa and got better service.

I’m extremely disappointed with this salon. I visited recently with my child, and when my kid needed to use the restroom, we were told it wasn’t allowed. Denying a basic necessity like a restroom, especially to a child, is unacceptable and inhumane. It shows a complete lack of compassion and customer care. I won’t be returning, and I would advise other parents to consider this before visiting.

I saw a post for a YouTuber and decided to check it out. As a first-time walk-in customer, my experience at this braiding salon was highly disappointing and unprofessional. I showed the owner pictures of knotless braids and was quoted $160. She stated she had the hair available and asked for my color preference, but failed to mention the hair cost was separate until checkout, which felt intentionally deceptive. The main issue is that despite showing pictures of knotless braids, she proceeded to do box braids. Her assistant (who I believe was her daughter) joined in and was using scissors around my hair. When I politely asked her to be careful not to cut my own hair, the young lady seem to be offended and started speaking her native language loudly, exhibiting unprofessional and immature b

I wanted a style that looks natural with not much hair added. I absolutely live the creativity of the women that braid my hair.🤗
