Hello, I would like to say Askia Hair Braiding, in Oak Park, is awesome. The reason I now is because I’ve been getting my hair braid, twisted, basket weaved etc.. since 2004. The owner, is such a nice and friendly person that she feels like family. I remember 1st day I came to the shop, her little boy was there and she was pregnant with her1st daughter and now, her son has graduated from college which shows dedication & loyalty in good quality of work. Askia hair braiding shows consideration and caring to their customers hair needs. They are very professional and I would truly recommend to give them a try and see for yourself.Services: Hair threading
