I was looking for someone to braid my hair before my knee replacement surgery. In spite of some negative reviews I choose her anyway! SO glad I did! She was gentle and did not make them too tight!! Her Brading method was perfect. And, almost 4 weeks later they are still looking good. I plan on getting them done again by her.
I got knotless goddess braids from Aisha and I really like them. She was nice to talk to and we watched two good movies while she did my hair. The bathroom is not a big deal, I'd read that it wasn't working ahead of time, so I just planned to take a break halfway through to go nearby and came right back. Overall great experience!
I went in for a retwist. The good: quick to book a last minute appointment (same day); and she did my hair in about 1 hour 15 mins (no washing or drying, I brought my own clips since it's easier for me to just do it at home) let me bring my own twisting product The not so good: there was some confusion over pricing, I asked how much in text and wasn't given an answer, I described my hair (how many locs I have and the approximate size) she still never replied. I went at my appointment time, she was quick, except a couple quick breaks to eat chips (keep reading to see why this is relevant) I couldn't tell at the time but when it was done I felt as though my hair was kind of stiff. Long story short, she was heavy handed with the product but so far it's fine, it's not a thick cream so I don't expect build up. My usual person will use a comb to get my parts super defined, she didn't, that's the reason I went to someone vs doing it myself. Anyway, I dried my hair and as the days went on the product either absorbed or rubbed out and it's fine, it's been a week and it still looks good. The first few days I was checking my hair to make sure the product wasn't causing build up and I was picking red crumbs out of my hair near the root. Although she was wearing gloves during my appointment, I assumed she took them off to eat. She didn't. I think I got them all out but that's just highly unusual. Anyway, she's done and it's time to pay, I asked again how much, she said whatever I said...I was confused because I never told her. I said we didn't talk about it, (I normally pay $65 for a retwist) I set $80 down (she still had gloves with gel on them) she counted and said oh I thought you were going to pay $140 I said for a retwist?? I would never pay that much. The confusion was when I said I had about 140 (dreads) she assumed that's how much I was offering to pay. Before I left I asked how much would she would charge me if I came back and she said $100 I paid $80 and left I don't know if I'd pay that much considering I washed, provided my own product and clips and dried my hair at home, but in a same day short notice situation maybe I would.
