If you value keeping your hair attached to your scalp do not come here. Stylist was very rude. I got the impression that she did not want to do my hair because no one acknowledged me when I walked in and said hello. I spent several minutes awkwardly standing waiting to be directed. She made several comments about how thick my hair is (was) in an annoyed tone. I obviously have natural hair, she blowdried my hair while it was dry and used a small tooth comb. She detangled my hair from the root to end tearing through any tangles. Anyone with the smallest experience with natural hair knows this is completely ridiculous. This was my first experience getting my hair cornrowed professionally and thought maybe I was just unaccustomed to the professional grip strength. However, the amount of hair she tore through and ripped out of my scalp was as if I had cut off 6 inches in a big chop. My hair has not recovered months later and is visibly shorter by inches.

Cannot retwist locs. Tugging and pulling my hair it hurt so bad. Didn’t add any moisture. I already came washed. Money wasted!

Disclaimer: This is my true and personal experience. Everyone has their own experiences! I sincerely appreciate the last minute call that beautified my hair since 7 months of my big Chop. STORYTIME: ☺️ I originally came to Winston Salem because of Oumy African Hair Braiding Studio. It would have been my second time going since 2024. I arrived in the morning, paid for parking in the parking lot near the studio, got breakfast, and entered the studio. There was a good number of ladies waiting patiently to have someone do their hair as well. Some ladies waiting told me to sign in on the notebook that had ladies names and phone numbers (I guess for attendance and verification). There were only two Braiders in at that time doing someone’s hair and word went around in the studio that many of their Braiders stayed late overnight due to getting hair done with previous hair appointments. One of the Braiders asked me to come and wanted to know what I wanted. I informed her of me wanting to get box braids. “Mind you” prior to this day, I called a week ago to ask how much for price and etc but never told them my hair was short. She pulled a little portion of my hair and claimed my hair is “short”. I don’t think she even took time to notice that yes my hair was short but it was very grip worthy. (I clearly had shrinkage). She then calls her boss and I get a chance to speak her only for her to tell me that her Braiders don’t want to do braids on short hair and “customers” complain it will fall out. I stepped out the studio and started making calls. I saw Amy’s Studio and called and explained the issue and they told me to come. They throughly looked at my hair and pulled parts to tell me that they can get the job done. Some of their Braiders were on their way, but the moment they arrived they got right to it. From 10am- 8:49pm they all did a GREAT JOB. From 1 Braider to like 5 Braiders during the last portions remaining of the last finishing touches of the hair. They ATE! Price for my hair and length was $260 They have other prices of $180,$200,$240,and $260. All do depend on Length!!! My Colors were #613 and #27. Again I appreciate all the Ladies that helped. Thank you so much and make sure you visit them whenever you’re in Winston Salem or if you stay in Winston Salem. You won’t be disappointed ❤️💯

The level of disrespect and attitude I just experienced is totally unacceptable. Between me and my kids I have done nothing but support your business tremendously over there past two years faithfully despite the unprofessional behaviors and attitudes displayed. The total “customer experience “ needs major attention and improvement!!
