    I enjoyed my experience overall. I give 4 stars because I had to wait 1.5 hrs for service although I made an appointment beforehand. I opted for small knotless braids (waist length) and it took about 6 hours. The woman who did my hair took her time, was fairly gentle with my hair, and my braids look amazing and professionally done. Some other people in the shop work faster, sure, yet their braids were inconsistent. I’ve seen TikTok influencers boast about getting their hair done at Zena’s in under 4 hours, yet if you want it don’t right it’s ok to clear your day for yourself lol.

    They also do very well with children’s hair! It was nice to see the girls...read full review
