Asked to come at an earlier time They braid tight as helllllll You will Be itchy and bumpy after for the first week or two She (the owner) raised the price to $260 at the end when we originally agreed on $220 the night before after her and the other two ladies worked on my hair as well as another ladies hair in the shop. They did a different length and size than what was discussed the night before. They talk shit about you as you sit in their seat getting your hair done They damage your hair and cause it to fall out from heat and then braiding way too tight. You can literally see my hair follicles (white) at the top from where my real hair came out. Never again.Do not go here.

To begin, the stylist was 45 mins late to my appointment. When I was asked about how long I wanted my twist, I was told I couldn’t get them that long. While sitting there for approx. 6 hrs the stylist in the shop talked extremely loud and yelled more than 50% of the time to the point where I was beyond ready to get out of the chair and my ears were ringing when I left. My hair was nicely done when finished. But after about 5 days my twist began to unravel. My stylist had not tied my two strand twist at the bottom so for the price that I paid I was extremely upset. I contacted the owner Essa so that I could come in and have them fixed. She initially told me to call her so that I could let her know when I could come in. I called multiple times as well as text and she never replied. So within

Don't do it! Wish I could give 0 stars! Went in for Nubian twist. Lady did a twist and asked did I like it. I said no. She tried to tell me I had the wrong hair. I didn't! Another braider came and I was pleased with her twist. She did the front and sides, and low and behold the first lady came back to finish my back. The back of my hair is a hot mess. I was told there was nothing wrong it. Now before they even started on my hair I told them I can switch to box braids. Lady that did the front and sides of my hair said she got it. The owner was only willing to take off 20 for this horrible hair job. My ends are a mess. Their attitude reflected that they had no care, just wanted the money. Poor customer service skills. Did I mention the lady who was scheduled to do my hair was late. Never goi
