Today was my first time going there. My family recommended them and of course I had to read reviews before I went and honestly....I LOVED it !!!!! They really get you in and out. This is probably the cleanest braiding shop I been too. I’m definitely coming back!!!!!

Don't ever go to these people for a weave they are BEYOND incompetent. The hairstylist did not oil my scalp, was not gentle when blow drying my hair, braided way too tight , couldn't even make my middle part centered so I had to do it myself, did not know how to install a closure which I find completely ridiculous and cut my weft when I specifically asked her not to. And the other hairdresser that "supposedly" knew how to install the closure did not line the part up with the part in my hair so it was sewed onto my braids. I got this installed on my birthday and was so upset I took it out not even two weeks later. Because my hair was not moisturized and braided too tight I had an obscene amount of hair loss. Never coming here again.

This was my first time trying this salon and I'm glad I did. Zara did a basic sew in for me. She did not braid my hair too tight and she was careful not to. I didn't even have to ask her. She was polite to me and once she started working she didn't stop for any phone or food breaks. My hair is neat, I am very very satisfied and will definitely return! The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the ladies talked a lot and I felt like less talking could have sped up my service. There was also some confusion about the pricing, but they took care of me and I appreciate that!
