I have been here twice. Both times have been a success. I have really thick hair so it has always taken at least 5 hours. I thought the stylist were nice and worked together. I even had 4 to 5 people working my head one day. My two complaints are that I have extremely coily/tangly thick hair and both times the blow drying experience to stretch my coils has been miserable. Also I have lost a few braids, that they have placed back in for me. I don't want to say that was due to them that the braids slipped out, but it could have been due to my coily hair and the length. I have have had the 2 strand twist and the medium box braids done. I may go back soon, because while the braids do add a lot of stress on my hair back to back braiding, it did help my scalp breath and stimulate growth. Also, there was not a long wait to be seen, having a toddler, work, and a life; I can truly appreciate this! Oh as far as price, my friends told me that I overpaid :(, but I guess at least they looked good. :) 7yr Update: I have been going to this business for 7 yrs now. I have had some great braiders. Awa, does a great job with keeping good braiders in the show. My hair looks amazing yet again. Coordinate your appt with your stylist and express what time works best and if you have somewhere to be at a set time, communicate it. I'm very happy even with my style today. I have been to many braiders in the area and will say they are some of the best and I am EXTREMELY picky about my hair! I have never had my hair done here and not gotten at least 10 to 15 compliments from men and women. Oh and price, they are better than a lot of places in the area.

My braids are always beautiful. Whenever I’m out and about I receive countless compliments. The service is always great and the staff is both friendly and welcoming.The atmosphere is comfortable. Most importantly My hair remains healthy after each installment. I defiantly recommend having your hair done by Awa and her team.
