    Marie was able to service me the day I called. I’m new to Oakland, I just moved here a week ago and I wanted to get my hair braided. She was extremely kind to me and my hair is so beautiful. She did an amazing job, I will definitely be back! Thank you Marie!! ❤️

    I always have a beautiful experience getting my hair done by Marie and her team at their African hair braiding salon. They are so kind, professional, and talented. My braids are always neat, long-lasting, and absolutely stunning. When I started with Marie, my hair was LESS than a couple of inches long. Now, it’s medium shoulder length and so healthy after only one year. Marie and her team are the only ones I trust to braid my hair, and I’ll continue coming back every time. Not to mention Marie is so accommodating and makes sure I’m comfortable. Highly recommend Marie’s services and salon!
