Yaya African Hair Braiding

They are the worst! I took my daughter in for two goodess braids and it looked terrible when I came back to get her! They used black gel, her hair was coming out of the braids, I mean it was just awful! I do not recommend any braiding salon in the city of Petersburg at all!! Go to Richmond. I wouldn't even give them 1 star!

Got my hair braided here twice. The first experience was a really good one and the second one was horrible. The first time I had no complaints. I got small Senegalese twists and they were exactly what I expected. The second time Yaya booked an appt for me but had someone else in the shop when I got there and she was not expecting me. The roots of my braids were really bulky and hard to maneuver. She also used entirely too much JAM for my soft hair texture. When I took the braids out my hair was so matted and fell out in clumps. Will not be visiting again.

I set an appointment at 2:00 for two feed-in braids. When I arrived, there were four people already waiting. Even though I had an appointment, she started working on someone’s hair before mine. The girl got individual braids and I only wanted two feed in braids. I waited for almost three hours then I just left. Unbelievable and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone! Very disappointed.

I got my hair done last Friday and it's exactly 7 days later and I have to take it out because of the quality of my braids. I paid $70 four big feed-in braids and 3 smaller ones. The first day it was Flawless. I had no complaints everyone loved it including me but honestly I believe the packed my hair with gel so that it will look good at the moment but once the hel wears off your hair looks hideous.

My teenage daughter & I have made this our “Go To” Braid ship! Over time we are like family, it’s relaxing & they take time to ensure we are satisfied. Often they have called in extra staff when it gets busy. Prices are reasonable. With many shops to choose from in the area; this is our selection & we are satisfied regular (happy) customers!
