Dionne is the best. I always have trouble explaining exactly what style I am looking for but she is a mind reader! Hands down, I am the happiest I’ve ever been with a stylist. Set an appointment. You won’t be disappointed.
Since moving the salons location to the 879 Plymouth Dr, it helps cut with the train of traveling. Always thankful and grateful for when Ms. James is able to do my natural hair like nobody else can.
Absolutely love working with Dionne at Essence Braiding Salon. She listening and works effortlessly and efficiently. Thank you for my small knotless braids…love the service and my braids!
