I moved to Boston a little over a year ago and started going to see Safi for my braids shortly after. I had called for a same day appointment on one of her busiest days due to a last minute choice to get my hair done for a funeral I had to attend and she accommodated me. She is phenomenal and I don’t trust anyone else in the area to do my hair. I am getting married this year and she is the one I will be asking to do my hair. Not only is she thorough, but she is quick and always friendly. You can tell that she puts her heart into her work. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for quality braiding.

Reviews
I was very pleased with how my hair turned out, and received lots of compliments on it. It was my first time getting braids, and Safi did an excellent job in a short period of time.
Thank you, Safi, for your professionalism, kindness, and overall wonderful experience!
Safi is amazing, and she has been doing my braids for the past 7 plus years. When I show up with a style that is unclear in my head, she knows immediately what I'm thinking and will create the vision flawlessly and to perfection.
