    I’ve been going to this establishment for about 7+ years. Unfortunately my most recently visit will be my last. I came in 3/1. I originally paid for boho braids and purchased human hair directly from the owner. As soon as, I left the shop…the hair was shedding all over. By the time I got home, some chunks of the hair was falling completely out. I text the owner and told her what happened. She told me to comeback to the shop on 3/4. When I there, she took a look and stated the human hair was installed wrong inside the braid and she will redo my front and middle. So, I made an appointment for me to come back and get it done. I came BACK to the shop just to be told by the owner that she couldn’t re-do my boho braids because the hair that was sold to me was bad (it wasn’t an install issue). That’s all the hair she had. Not once did she call and let me know prior to coming back the 3rd time. The owner then cuts the human hair out my head and thought that was going to be acceptable me. Not wanting to make it right. I was left with strands of hair sticking out and uneven parts. I was offered the money I spent on the human hair. Not anything else. I was leaving for vacation in two days and disappointed that she didn’t keep her word. Listen…I paid 330.00 plus tip for boho to end up with uneven knotless braids that once the human hair was removed. The owner eventually offered to redo the front and middle boho but, that diI would have to purchase the hair and my back of the head would still look mess. She then offered to do the front and middle regular knotless. I came back a 4th time!!! to get this accomplished. The braids were not good. After braiding, They didn’t cut the strays. I understand it was late but, it was just below the basic standard. Since getting these braids re done in the front and middle, I’ve been pulling chunks of braiding hair out of my braids for the last 4 days. Because the braiding rushed, the additional braiding hair added to the braid to make it full and long was sticking out on every single braid did over. Mind you they didn’t re do the back, so it’s till very much raggedy. I had to cut the hair when I got home because it was uneven. One side was significantly longer than the other. The owner apologized and I’m forgiving person. I’m mandated to do so my by my Lord and Savior. However, This is very disappointing. Both my daughter and I have been going here for years. Spending a lot of money. I even brought another family member several times. The owner had the opportunity to do the right thing and chose the option to save her pockets and left me a highly unsatisfied former customer and not with the hairstyle I wanted nor paid for. Your word is all you have and when you don’t stand by it or make it right, you lose.

    I went for boho knotless back in March after being referred by my sister who had been going here to get her hair braided for awhile. I loved my results! I was asked to bring my own curly hair (which most shops I reached out to said the same thing) and they provided the braiding hair. I do have a lot of hair, so I can’t say I left the shop under 5 hours, but I have seen that a lot of instagram stylists also mention on their sites that boho knotless are considered a lengthy service. I received so many compliments! With using curly hair (human, mix, or synthetic) you HAVE to keep it up! A tip for those who decide to use mix or synthetic, use hair spray to keep up with the curl and avoid some tangling/shedding. I used human hair, so I used regular curly hair products that I use on my own hair (mousse and curly gels). I kept my hair in for a little over 2 months and still loved the looks. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it in that long due to the take down process, but I definitely got my money’s worth! I am going back today for regular knotless, this is now my go to braiding shop for knotless.

    Great I’ve been taking my daughter here for over ten years. The staff is great and the owner always makes sure she is well taken care of.

    I will never and I do mean never go back to this shop again! Customer service sucks and they don’t do what you ask! I went here in 2022 and the young lady that did my hair did an awesome job! I left there feeling like a peacock! Fast forward to 2024 not so much left feeling like a buzzard! Braids cost more and look like trash! I told her I did not want my scalp exposed look like pin head by the head! Twist to thin and haven’t even had them a week and one has fallen out! I paid 195 in 2022 and the look was awesome this time 250 and the braids are straight trash!!! When I say I will never ever ever ever ever go back to this shop again!!!

    The owner was so very gracious with me and so nice, however I felt like because I came on a Sunday they did a very RUSHED job. I am NOT happy with my hair. I went in for Boho Knotless and instead of being told to bring my own hair AFTER having conversation via text with owner, I had to use what was available in the salon which I wasn’t happy about. I’ve seen and met plenty of people who have had their boho knotless done by Happy Hair and I feel like mine could’ve been done a lot better. The boho hair is shedding SO much and it’s because they did not secure it within my braids properly. I’ve had boho knotless before and NEVER had this much shedding. Full pieces are coming out of my hair as I put it up in a ponytail. This is ridiculous and unacceptable. Do not go on a Sunday!

    My experience at Happy Hair has always been great. Tiggy the owner does a great job with my styles. Laska also does a great job with my styling my hair the way I request. Yes, the prices have gone up since I've started going to Happy Hair 3 years ago, but everything has gone up! Ask for Tiggy or Laska for a great hair experience!

    I used this salon a few times in the past. I’ll start by saying the owner is very friendly and they work fast. Those are the only positive things that I have to say. The first time I got knotless box braids was fine, even took my daughter. The second time I got a high ponytail. Night mare! 1. It was braided entirely too tight. I had big red welts everywhere and they cut my hair when cleaning up with the scissors. So much so that I had to cut several inches off my hair to even it out. That was a year ago. Last week we were going on vacation and my normal braider was booked :( …. Happy Hair was the only place I could get in to before we left. Nightmare. Despite requesting her not braid too tight, she did. I was so uncomfortable, I took the braids down after 6 days. Big chunks of hair came out my head. My scalp is still so sore despite taking them down and welted up. It’s ridiculous. If you value your hair or are looking for “protective” styles, don’t go here. They will wreck your hair. It took 4 hours for a ponytail! 4 hours! My daughter got knotless box braids in the same length of time. Never will I go back. Ever.Service: Hairstyling
