★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Solomon Roberson · Jul 2025

Was booked here to get twist. I was driving over an hour to come here! I saw some complaints online that triggered me because I’ve had those same things happen to me at other places! So I wanted to call and touch base with them and just had a couple questions before I came! I got no response on their socials, no one answered the phone! I called and messaged several times over the course of 3 days! The communication is definitely off here and Needs fixed immediately! I cancelled my appointment “they can keep the deposit” I just went to another African braiding salon they were amazing and had A1 communication with me to put my mind at ease! They did amazing on my hair!

I wonder if the baby still comes to the shop. Not good experience here and they will talk about you like a dog right in your face.p.s never on time and double book

This place is a hidden Jem! I missed my first appointment due to miscommunication and dependence on taxi service. The owner Pricilla, contacted me and opened the shop on a Sunday to accommodate my work schedule and 2 hour drive time from Meadville PA. It was well worth the trip (drove my car; plenty of free parking). Harriet and Doreen did my micros in approximately 5 hours. They are about 12/14in long when loose, and as you can see there is no pain. that ponytail is from the morning after styling and I left the shop that way as well. I paid $220 including 2.5 packs of hair. They continually checked to make sure I was comfortable and that the braids were not too tight (this is crucial, be honest or you will regret it ladies: lying about tightness when asked is exactly how you end up bald o

By far the best experience I've had with braids in my life!!! Super friendly and caring environment! The owner was super informative about the the style I wanted and the length and condition of my hair, still being able to give me exactly what I wanted! I high recommend this salon for braiding.
