I have been to FA’s a few times. First time was 2017. I was traveling for work, I had cut my locs and needed my hair done badly. The Owner did my tree braids. They were cute but that hair style didn’t work for me. The 2nd time, my mom and I went last minute and Umu did my mom’s small box braids they were beautiful. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I needed a hair style for another work trip and was in a rush. Umu, braided my hair. She is talented. Patient, and kind.

I booked a wash, blow dry, box braids, mid back, 1B, 27……….I got all 1B, they did box braids in the front and knotless in the back. My hair is still shedding from the fire they put on my braids as well. I only gave 2 stars because from far away my braids look great, but up close, you can definitely tell the rushed work and inconsistency. Also I had one braider at a time……one on the front, they switched and another girl did the back, switched again and the girl doing the... read full review
