I just got my hair done last night and I must tell you that I am extremely OVERJOYED and AMAZED by the EXCELLENT work that was done on my hair by Fatu and by the assistance of her daughter Thelma! Fatu was KIND, PATIENT, and PROFESSIONAL in a very down to earth way! I felt comfortable the moment I walked into the shop. I have never gotten my hair braided before with extensions so I was PRAYING that I picked the RIGHT shop and GOD answered my prayers! Fatu worked on my hair for 6 hours and over the course of that time her daughter Thelma (who is also very talented) assisted her. She too was very pleasant! Fatu was also VERY understanding of any reservations I might have had being as it was my first time getting my hair professionally braided.The price was VERY reasonable and EVERYONE that I saw in that shop yesterday left with their hair looking MAGNIFICENT!I came late afternoon so I presume these people had come much earlier. Seeing the "finished work" reinforced my "good vibe".I can TRULY say to ANYONE that if you want your hair done by PROFESSIONALS that don't have the INFLATED prices and the PHONY BALONEY attitude then you need to come here! It was an AWESOME experience and they now have a customer for life. Sincerely, Mary
So so happy with how my hair turned out!! I got medium boho braids! I did have to get my own human hair but they have a supply of braiding hair. I brought my own so I could have the specific color I wanted. In and out in 9 1/2 We didn't start on time but I didn't mind once I saw how my hair turned out LOL Will definitely be coming back!
Pristine single braids at a reasonable price ($250) compared to other shops in the area. Took a bit long but the final product was totally worth the wait.
Shop is no frills, technicians and friendly and expert. Would definitely visit again.
