I wanted 4 cornrolls with 2 buns in the back and it came with curly hair they said for that hairstyle $350 plus $100 for curly hair this is ridiculous these people be over pricing!! So I changed my hair style to 2 cornrolls $60🤦♀️
I had the best braider in the whole shop, baby.. That meant nothing. I wanted my hair how I wanted it (a cornrow style) & spent the requested amount $400+ & no i’m not going to tell the real amount because the result is average at best.. (i’m embarrassed) definitely not worth it. Yet, imagine sitting for 7hrs & your hair not even as desired. Mind you, you pay for the service before its finished.
At that point, because of my schedule & duties I had planned/scheduled I was just counting the lil L for what it is. There is a 97% chance i’ll never return. African aunties cool though, they be trying. But again, if you want your hair “DONE” & not “done”...read full review
I felt compelled to leave a review after reading so many of the bad reviews. My daughter recommended ABC and has been many times, but i was hesitant.
I arrived right as they opened, was greeted by the two ladies seated. They saw my picture and I was in and out in about an hour or so. I went in for stitch braids and came out with stitch braids. I will be going back.
