Lina African Hairbraiding

C Rod

Update: 9/10/2022: FYI...CASH ONLY! It has been a while since I've had my hair braided, and needed done for travel. My appt. was set for opening time, 8am, it was only a few minutes wait, then I was right in the chair and I was asked what type of braids I wanted, and to confirm, by showing me a picture. Right to work on my head. The braider that worked on me, worked fast and throughout she confirmed with me the length of my braids. She was very meticulous when she cut the fly aways and burning the tips. She did a very good job. I like my braids, and my husband loves them! I mentioned cash only because I didn't realize she changed the policy. I didn't see a sign indicating cash only, so it's important that you know that upfront. Lina was welcoming to everyone that came in for their appointment. She even went to the hair shop with a couple of the customers to make sure they purchased the right type of hair. I've read the reviews, and I do understand some may have not had a great experience, but I cannot complain. My braids are great, my braider was attentive and took her time when it really count, and Lina was pleasant and kind to all customers. I will return for another style. Thank You! God Bless 🙏 It was a long day! 10 hours in the chair, but I'm done and my hair looks really nice. I'm happy! It's been a while since I've had my hair braided and I came to Lina's because it was close to home and I read the reviews and it seemed like this was a good place to go! I can say, this place is different from other shops I've been to. These ladies are like Energizer Bunnies! They are literally on their feet all day. Moving from one person to the next, helping each other with a customer. They do not conversate with customers, which is okay with me, that allows them to focus on the work at hand. The owner of the shop, Lina, she very nice and just like the other ladies, she stays on her feet! Yes, she moves from person to person too! She does not stand around, watching the others, her hands are moving constantly. I also noticed, whenever someone walks in, they are acknowledged and do not sit in the waiting area for long, they are quick to put a customer in a chair. I would recommend Ms. Lina and I will visit her shop when I'm in the mood for braids.

New customer; had an appt. when I arrived was told that the person that was supposed to do my hair left for the day. I received no call to inform me not to show up or anything. This is not a good business practice.

Lina does amazing Senegalese twist braids. I have been going to her salon for years.

Ok so 1. Come on how are you African and don't know how to put beads in evenly. The entire back might have 10 beads. The right side has less than 1/2 the amount of beads that's on the left. 2. Oh and the shells put in my hair Friday have started coming out. Today is Wednesday 3. Poor Marie's kept trying to tell those 2 stylist they were doing it wrong but instead of listening to the owner's niece, those 2 know it all but still got is out here looking raggedy af, wouldn't listen to her. 4. Marie just said, she'll fix it all Friday. For that reason only, I'm giving 3 stars. I'll update after it's fixed.
