    I called the day before and asked if they had availability to do microbraids. They fit me in, provided the hair and did a fantastic job. My hair is very short so they really worked a miracle. My hair took 6.5-7 hours

    However, some things to consider, my braider did about 8-10 braids (just getting started), then asked me to fill out a clipboard and pay for the service in full. Again, not halfway into the job or fully completed, but to pay when just beginning. So be prepared to pay the full amount upfront or when the hair is halfway done (for regular cases) and pay in cash (they do not accept Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle or PayPal).

    There is not a lot of parking outside nor seating area inside. So keep that in mind if you plan to bring your kids or multiple people. And bring snacks or drinks as there is no vending machine. But they are kind and do very good work!

    Very bad experience. Not only was my hair left for over an hour unattended to, I didn't get the value for what I paid for.

    I just got medium knotless done and my braider did an amazing job. Ensuring a verbal and confirmed (in person/phone call) appt and price is very important as I scheduled using the website and they didn't have access. Took 4.5hrs and payment was due midway through the braiding. (I brought my own hair and had to pay in cash jtlyk)

    Unprofessional, inconsiderate. Went in last minute since they got a cancellation. over the phone was told one price then that price increased $60 without communicating. my daughter got no breaks meanwhile the lady just walked away for her lunch WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING TO HER CUSTOMER. (her customer was a 6 YEAR OLD KID) Not to mention she was rude too. Hair came out good, not a good experience though DONT recommend especially with kids.

    I’ve given this salon two chances, and both times were frustrating and unprofessional.

    The first time, I had an appointment scheduled for 10 AM. Just two hours before, the stylist texted me saying she was in the hospital and asked me to reschedule. While I was disappointed, I let it go and moved on.

    Fast forward nine months later, I decided to give the shop another shot—with a different hairstyle. I called the salon and was later contacted by someone via text (unfortunately, I didn’t get their name). We scheduled an appointment for Sunday at 12 PM. I was hesitant after my first experience, but I really needed my hair done, so I decided to go through with it.

    I arrived 15 minutes early, only to find someone already in the chair. The woman doing the hair didn’t speak much English and seemed completely unaware of my appointment. I started to leave, but she came after me, assuring me the stylist was “on her way,” so I came back in.

    I waited another 15–20 minutes, and still—no one showed up for me. The woman even called someone and put them on speakerphone. I explained I had a 12 o’clock appointment and had already been waiting since 11:45. The person on the phone brushed me off, saying it was only 12:06 and asked me to keep waiting.

    What sealed the deal for me was overhearing a comment that a client’s hair didn’t look full. That was all I needed to hear—I walked out and won’t be returning.

    This place is completely unprofessional. I’ve had much better experiences in Illinois and expected the same level of service here in Fort Wayne. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. It’s already hard enough to find someone reliable to do my hair, and this experience just made it harder.

    Zero stars. Stay far away from this place.
