They do hair fast and neat; however they are very unprofessional with scheduling appointments. They do not adhere to the time. If you come for a 9 am appointment, they will tell you to come back hours later! Also, do not bring your children here to get their hair braided, you will be given a made up story about children can only come after 1pm while looking at a child getting their hair braided in the chair at 9am. When I come here I even tip! I don't care how well the hair is done, once you are unprofessional, that's it. I will not spend money where my time is not considered. Do better Astan!

I have come here to get my braids done a lot. Today I came all the way from DE for them to try and overcharge me for a service I always get. I will never come here again. I walked out and did not use their services this time.

Questions & Answers

Definitely would rank them on a scale of 1 to 10 a 9. They are very nice and the shop is clean. Hair is done nice and neat and not in there for a long period of time. The only downside I have is that it was a little cold in there

We have a central heating and cooling system installed now.

Not taking it personally or blaming the shop specifically because it’s been a lot of places so far, but... Why do so many places up here refuse men? Like...what happened here?

I was there when they refused a potential male customer, i never knew it was a thing amongst African salons, apparently their reasoning was the males were too difficult to work with🤷🏽‍♀️...I would advise to go to a regular salon for men's styles or a loc salon🤗

They do provide braiding hair,not if you want crochet though,i was ok with this place at first,luv the owner,her workers are another story,i went there for crochet,n u can tell one of em didnt feel like doing my hair,had me leace my hair to make sure i was coming back,shouldve took the hint then bt needed my hair done n too late to go elsewhere,aftr i paid,i lookd underneath n she didnt even complete it,i got crochet faux locs n went to put it up n ponytail and found out she didnt do the back,i took it out that night n got another style and instead of them doing it for what i already paid,they had the nerve to ask for the difference,knowing it was their fault i had to get my hair redone in the first place,may/may not go back,but that lazy one wont do it again
