2 months agoI am so grateful I found this salon. I am particular about who brands my hair and felt immediately at ease at this salon. Kwame is wonderful and the 2 beautiful ladies that braided my hair were exceptional. I couldn’t be any more happy with the final results of my knotless braids. I’ve found my forever braiding salon. Thank you again!

2 months agoThis is a very honest and brutal review. Of all my experiences of doing braiding in different salons for 15 plus years now this has to be the worst. I’ve booked an appointment for early in the morning at 8am and i’ve immediately got my hair washed which was an instant green flag. Then i have to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes for someone to start my hair which was no biggie because i’m a very patient person. I then proceeded to get seated and then the lady took another hour to prep the hair and get everything ready which again i’m very patient and i don’t mind. The braiding process took another 8 hours because the lady decided to take many breaks and she wasn’t listening to my needs. When she first started the braid and she showed me it was the perfect size and the right amount of boho until she started going smaller and smaller and now I have XS braids instead of the medium i showed her… She then starts going to do the hot water to seal the braids and then i see her pull out curling rods when I never asked for curls i then tell her I want it straight and then she says No curl is better and we go back and forth until I give in and just accept the curls. When the appointment is over I ask for the price on the phone and then at the end of the hair session i ask her again the price of the service and she’s telling me over $200. I then say that’s not the price you told me before and then she says “then why are you asking??” with an attitude. Overall bad customer service will not be coming again period. I also have to add i understand the language they speak and they were speaking about me saying “ they want boho but they don’t want to wait for the boho or pay boho prices.” it was very rude

4 months agoGreat experience! They have 2 people working on your hair at the same-time so it only took 3 hours and 30 min for small bora bora braids. And I loved my hair!
