My first time coming to Mame Diarra was to have crochet braiding. I wasn't satisfied at all with the "Diana Ross" big hair style that I was given after I had provided beforehand a photo of the "Wanda Sykes" style I wanted and was told that the desired style could be done. I didn't return after this visit until several months later and I have been very satisfied with the medium size box braids that me and my 11 year old daughter have been getting for the past few months. The owner braids very quickly and has a gentle touch. Her niece, however, is heavy handed and briads too tight but she does at a very neat and uniformed job. The staff is friendly and attenive l and will ask if you're ok frequently. I recommend Mame Diarra to friends and family.
