I called the shop and spoke with the owner Jaklin about getting my hair braided. I was told she had an opening on Friday so I booked my appointment time. I asked about what type of hair I should get and was told that I could purchase my own or from the shop for $6.00. The day of my appointment I brought my own hair because the type of braiding hair used is $5.00 at the Arabian hair stores vs. $6.00 from her and Im already paying $175.00 for my hair due (I was trying to save a buck) well to my surprise when I get there the owner told me the hair I got which was kanekalon was different from the hair they used and that I should purchase it from them. I did so because I still had my receipt to return the other hair, now I assumed she was doing my hair but another surprise was a "new" employee is doing my hair again Im going to assume she does good work because she wouldnt have hired her. Well the ends of my hair look horrible and uneven and I dont wear it down because the ends look a hot mess and one of my braids came out already and I just got my hair done on 3/3/17 not even a month smh. I wont say everyone in the shop cant do hair but my experience wasnt what I paid for or was expecting and for that matter I would never return or recommend to anyone.

TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED!! With getting my Senegalese Braids Removed. I left this braid shop with my hair still tangled in knots and scalp hurting! The braider took my braids out without detangling my hair. Then proceeded to comb through my dry hair without using ANYTHING to soften my hair to get out the knots. I had to tell her to stop and detangle the knot first BEFORE combing my hair!!! ALSO, I was overcharged for this process! I spoke to the owner over the phone, before I came in. SHE told me it will cost $55.00 with out shampoo. Then when I got ready to payee now the price changed to $65.00. Lastly the owner was braiding a young lady hair between the ages of 10 - 12 and watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion!!! TOTALLY inappropriate for kids!!! ESPECIALLY the sexual content of the show!! She continued to watch the show without any concern that this young girl was sitting in her chair. I wrote this review to let anyone whos thinking about coming to this shop to think again. Their not TRUE professionals!!!! Response to owner: I have no reason to lie about ANYTHING. Am not a liar and I dont need to bad mouth a business. This is my truth and experience whether you want to knowledge it or not.

Got my Daughter and my hair braided on good Friday in cornrows which I had a hard time explaining I just wanted the thin to med braid cornrows but she was like 200.00 for them I was like just to be braided back so anyway I just told her to give us regularly cornrows. That I was charged 50.00 for the Plaines crows I ever had reminded you the only English speaking lady (Jackie) after she told the young lady how to braid our hair so when she was done I had a hard time explaining too her that my braids was to far apart and made me look balled and I have a head full of hair she didnt know what I was saying she kept saying 50. She knew that very well so I paid her so it wouldnt exculat and went on about my business so by Easter Sunday the front of my daughter and my hair came up I couldnt believe it two to three braids from the top so I called that Monday to come plain Jackie tells me its been a week what do I expect I was like a its been only 2 days she like shes booked till Thursday come in then I like nevermind I will NEVER BE BACK

I dont feel this is a good spot because it took more than 6 hours to do a, as I was told, 3 hour hair design. Not only that when I got home it was patches not even complete. I lifted up my hair, to put in pony tail, and a big patch was covered over. They do not do nice work and they are not nice. Run save your money... I wish I did. additional information: I feel that everyone has the freedom of speech but not without cost. the shop owner called me and lured me back to her shop under false pretenses. she then proceeded to, along with others in her shop, yell at, surrounded and tell me "only way I would get the money she promised was if she cut my hair off my head and handed it to me". I felt very nevous and uncomfortable. She also called me prejudice and that is an attack on my character and that, as I fell this media stuff will not go on (at least by me) I will let her be JUDGED BY THE JUDGE.

They do good work but the customer service is terrible. Its hard to make an appointment because they hardly answer the phone. I finally got threw and made a 6pm appointment for cornrows and when I got there I learned that I was double booked. Didnt get my hair started until 8:30pm. And the lady kept stopping to text and talk to other ppl in the shop. Didnt end up leaving out the shop until about 10:45pm. After that I never thought Id come back there but a family member of mine vouched for them and said I should give another chance. This past Friday I had an 8:30am appointment for box braids. Got there 10 minutes early but no one was there. Waited until 9:15am still no one. And I called the shop up until 11am so I could ask them what happened, but no answers. Ill never go back again.

Im a Secret shopper. The people who work here are horrible and rude. They wouldnt no a good hairstyle if it walked up and slapped them. Dont waste your money or your time. They have the time to troll on the internet and be mean. What dose that said about this shop. How little is their business that they can say "we dont know you are". Their a bunch of bullys with bad hair dos. I am doing good for the commity by letting them know about bad business. God bless Honey

Jaklin is the only person I let braid my hair. Not only is the shop clean but the stylist are all friendly. Jaklin always respond as quickly as possible. Her braids are always nice and neat. And I love that she doesnt keep you waiting for long even though I wouldnt mind sitting in the shop the atmosphere is awesome. If anyone is looking for a new style rather its box braids to Ghana braids, I highly recommend the ladies that work there.

I was a Walk-In. Great Customer service. Jaklin did my hair. I got Ghana Braids she let me check each braid as she finished and they were perfect. I had to leave out for a meeting and was able to come back and get my hair finished with no problems.
