★★★★★ 5.0 Wanda Snipes · Jan 2026

I was very skeptical going to a new salon but after experiencing this Salon, I was very impressed with the quality of my braids. It’s been years since I received such great quality micro braids within 7 hours. UMU ‘s braiders take their time to make sure each braid is professionally done which shows in each and every style. They will forever have my business as well as all my colleagues and friends. I give them 5 stars. Thank you

Umu is great!!! It was fast and affordable. Treat customers like family, very professional and talented. I got Boho Knotless braids about shoulder length and I absolutely adore them. I recommended some family to Umu Braiding and they are happy with the results. Umu managed my thick hair with ease, if you have thick hair and need a someone who actually knows what they’re doing, book an appointment with Umu Braiding!

I've been getting my hair braided here for over 3 years and I couldn't be happier. She's always so neat and professional—my braids come out looking amazing every time. I also really appreciate that the braids are never too tight, which makes a huge difference in comfort. She's very kind, reliable, and the pricing is fair. Highly recommend!

I was searching for a braiding shop on Google, and seen this shop had great reviews so I decided to give them a try. Umu was very professional, attentive, and reliable! My braids were at a reasonable price and done within a timely manner. I love my braids, and have already received many compliments! I’ll be back!

I can confidently say that Umu Braiding Shop is one of the best braiding shops in Charlotte. Ever since I moved from NY to NC, I was worried about finding a good braider, but my family and I were blessed with Umu. The shop provides fair prices, a calm environment, and amazing services from long-time braiders; nothing ever feels half-done. My hair is long and I often worry when I meet new braiders, but Umu always made me feel comfortable. My braids last long and never fall out (most recent medium box braids lasted nearly 4 months). This is a place that understands kindness and skill, providing the best services—no one else has yet to compare! 10/10, highly recommend ♡
