    I am getting my hair done right now and it looks fantastic! After another hairstylist had to cancel last minute, I was able to get a same day appointment here for medium box braids and I am so glad I did. They truly do live up to their name of fast braiding! My appointment started at 3pm and as of now (5:34) I have about an hour left (for reference I have about bra strap length hair).

    Things to note:
    1. If you want an appointment, make a deposit. Its $25 but if you have not paid it, assume you do NOT have an official appointment.

    2. Come with a picture. They can do almost anything you want, if you can show them what you want it to look like.

    When I say HOSPITALITY AT ITS BEST! Claudia did a fantastic job on my braids! She was very professional and patient! I mentioned to her that I was getting my hair done to celebrate my birthday and she even acknowledged that when she was done! Much appreciated!

    This is a very welcoming, down to earth business. Miss Ayawa is such a doll, and very patient. She knows what she is doing and she gives you exactly what you want, and styles it in the best way for your hair.
