    This was my daughters first time getting box braids and she was so excited and nervous but all the women working here made her feel so comfortable and were so patient and kind with her! I highly highly recommend bringing your children or yourself here. Its difficult finding hair braiders to do kids hair and everyone here was amazing with my daughter! One last thing they supplied everything!

    These ladies did a wonderful job! They were fast and gentle and did exactly as I asked. The price was affordable but do note it is cash only. I love my hair 10/10 definitely recommend!

    New favorite hair braiders!!Reminds me of the braiding shops I use to go to in New York

    I just left this establishment. Let me start off by saying these women were amazing. I walked out feeling great. I was treated with kindness and respect. I came as a walk-in but that didn’t deter them from giving me the ultimate customer experience. They were very accommodating. The service included the hair which was a bonus for me. Very affordable and worth EVERY dollar! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    Precious, Ariel, and Ida are amazing to work with!This is the third time that I have been back from them to do my hair , first was faux locs, Brad crown design, and now kinky twist!

    I was unsure about getting my hair braided since Id only had my hair braided once in my adult life and Im 51. When I got there Tammy was there waiting for me at 6 a.m. I felt at ease with her from the start. Tammy braided my hair in under 3 hours. There was no pain even though I expected there would be. She was done so fast, I was shocked, just under 3 hours. My hair is so beautiful. I feel so good about myself now. Its worth every dime. Im taking my daughter to get her hair done next week.

    Easy to schedule appointments.Had my braids more than 3 months. Only needed to touch up the edges.

  • Review 8 (2024-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    The most beautiful braids I have ever gotten! I made an appointment for 7 am and they had me in and out long before noon. They were fast, efficient, and very nice ladies! I would definitely come back here.

    I love coming here to get my hair braided. Ida and the other young lady that braids my hair does a wonderful job. Thank you guys for always doing a great job with my hair. Also for the price the hair is included which is even better for the price.

    I had an amazing experience at the hair salon. Very affordable service. Kind human beings and even better environment. My hair looks so natural and neat. I cant wait to go back. I cant recommend this place enough. The hair was provided, my natural hair was washed, and the color was A1. Perfect!!!

    I love my hair, to start things off.The place was nice very homely and everyone was very sweet, vocal, and just as happy to see me for my very first time being there.My stylist was gentle with my hair not too tight or rough and it was good experience having my first opportunity to wear braids I definitely recommend them. I made my decision after reading all of the reviews so hopefully this helps you too.

    I love their service it’s definitely worth the price I am so happy to say I can finally rest on finding somewhere to get me and my kids hair done this is me and my family new hair home I’m so blessed to have came in to the salon due to a scammer tried to scam but helped me instead by providing an address lol

  • Review 18 (2022-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    I was referred by a good friend and I am so happy I went. They were able to take me on such short notice. I went with beautiful cornrows in the front and box braids in the back with the color 1B30. The ladies were very sweet and customer service was through the roof. Go schedule your appointment. Also, they sell African attire here if your into that type of clothing.
