a week agoWe arrived at about 9:00pm and we had called a week previous to coming, as well as texted to confirm pricing and that we would get human hair. Again upon arrival we made it extremely clear that we wanted all human hair (which they charged us an additional amount for each) or we could go buy it and have it put on. Upon sitting we again showed all of our pictures over and over and also confirmed pricing and that we wanted all human hair. As soon as the braiders started applying the hair, I started feeling the allergic reaction. The hair felt hard and like plastic and I noticed synthetic packs near us. It was also very tight for us, because we are tender headed, but perhaps not the same for everyone. We finished at 1:30 and 2:00, but realized only the curl strands were human. We were pissed and a grand short in pockets. They didn’t let us keep the human hair used for strands. It seems they don’t use the full strands either, but cut snippets and plug in. The other thing was that we saw a roach crawl out of the wall and back and they kept switching and adding braiders to do simply things…trim ends of braids, dip braids in hot water, do baby hair, etc., which resulted in more ppl to tip. Overall, if we weren’t allergic to the hair AND if they had been honest, it would’ve been cool. We didn’t receive the styles we asked for in pictures, but were similar. We felt played and know better next time to make sure it’s human hair and to check facility, reviews and stop the braiders at the points we notice things not going how we asked. I thought it was dope that they were open 24 hours, but being out there at those hours ain’t worth it. Overall was a 5 out of 10.

a week agoThe women in this shop are evil DO NOT COME HERE!! The lady doing my hair kept repeatedly hitting me in my face, pulling my neck aggressively, and was overall RUDE ! When I had ask for the price she told me 360 “say yes.” ??? I was asking a question nicely but she was very stuck up and just plain disrespectful.
