    Amazing Amazing Amazing, I been going here for over 15 years, I haven't been in over 2 years because I been wearing QUICKWEAVEs and I cut my hair off , WHEN I say I can't even begin to explain how GOOD my hair looks , My hair is short and thin especially at the top. I went Friday so that PASSY could feel my hair to make sure they could grip it I went back yesterday to get it done, LADIES did an Excellent job. I really wish I would have got a BEFORE PICTURE .I got medium box braids mid back it was $240 , and I tipped the 3 ladies , I sat down at 3:30 they were done at 6:30. A lot of new faces but same quality service 20/10.❤❤

    My friend and I got our braids done here . We were one of the first ones there when they opened and they started on our hair immediately. They work great together as a team. It is rare that they only have one person braiding your hair ! We were out of there in 4 hours which is great because I have a ton of hair🤣. 10/10 experience. Definitely will return again!
