Rama Beauty African Hair Braiding 5th & Madison

I’ve been coming to this shop for yearssss before they had multiple locations and it’s sad I have to say this! Do not come to this shop if you want a braiding style other than box braids. They do very well with knotless box braids any size/length BUT they are terrible with other styles. They act like they can do any style you ask of them but they just rush and do whatever to your hair to take your money. If it wasn’t for their “72 hour rule” I would never come here again. I asked for French style braids January 2026 and within 2 days they started to unravel! I came back to get it done over which was already an inconvenience and they were STILL unraveling!!! The ends were poorly tied and I would’ve went back again to have them fix it but it’s very inconvenient for me and I’m over it! I ende

Ladies, if you are looking for beautiful braids, professionalism, and fast service, you MUST visit Rama Hair Braiding at 10 W. 125th St! 🙌🏽 I am thoroughly pleased with my waist-length large knotless braids. The braiders were extremely professional, efficient, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The customer service manager was absolutely amazing—she even jumped in and helped braid my hair herself! The speed and quality were incredible. I arrived at 11:45 AM and the ladies were completely finished by 2:00 PM. For large waist-length knotless braids, the price was only $180, which is an amazing value for the quality and service. Ladies, treat yourself to the experience!Rama Hair Braiding is BOMB! 🔥

I made a 2am appt, and arrived at 1:30…I originally came for the flip braids. However, I asked the braider to show me her previous work. I end up choosing a Boho Braided Ponytail. She started my hair at 2:30a, and finished at 6:30a….paid $200 (past my butt length) and I gave her a $50 tip. She was very nice and professional. Braider name was Keyna. This is my new fav location. Call the location beforehand to ensure that the style you want the braiders at that location can do. Location was clean, no roaches. Bring your own wipes/toilet paper. Update: 1/2/26 I came again and two older lady braided my hair and I don’t like how they braid. My hair is sticking up/frizzy through the braids, and it looks as though they didn’t use braiding gel while braiding the hair. These braids won’t last too

1st time going to this braiding place. I dread taking public transportation. So I drive from Queens to Harlem in 25min at 3:15am. I parked in front. I was seated instantly and two braiders were on my head. Finish by 7am and liked my braids. Pleasant experience and great prices. Will come again!

I had a great experience at this shop. I took my 14 year to get braids and she loved them. I arrived at 11:30. Sat down immediately. Started braiding her hair at 12noon we were done by 2pm. 2 braiders worked on her hair. Her hair is passed her shoulders and extremely thick and they managed to braid it in 2 hours. Definitely going back!!!!
