If you read some of my other reviews you know my standards are high, so let’s get into it…
Birthday weekend and I book a 2pm appointment with another braider. After sitting in the shop til 3:30 I left.
I googled braiding shops and called Chacha’s. I got there around 4:30 and was gone by 7:40. When I say they DID NOT disappoint. Waist length knotless in 3 hours! My braids are neat and the size/weight is perfect for my very fine hair, which I have struggled to get other braiders to understand- I want to have hair after I take the braids out! The shop was clean and the ladies are professional. They have a new regular customer with me.

Reviews
I am very please with my Senegalese twist! My braider said her name was Alvarese I believe, but she did her thing! Everywhere I go I keep being asked who did my hair! I am very tender headed, and once I got past the pain my braids are beautiful! Even my African friend stated how good they look! I will definitely be back! Loves me a good braider! And did I mention how fast she braided my hair? And these are small almost micro! I love it!
Fantastic! Amazing! Hands down the best, unexpected service and experience ever. I’m not from VA, this is my first time being in VA, I am here for 1 week and decided I wanted my hair braided, found them on TikTok, called and they took me the following day. Walked in at 5:00pm, got my hair washed, blow dried, combed, and proceeded to get my hair braided in what I thought I wanted and instead was directed to something better. I walked out at 9:00pm sharp with the cutest, butt length, knotless braids(small), all within 4 hours! Literally treated me like family and I love my hair! I highly recommend ChaCha’s braiding salon and I hope they continue to do so well! Thank… read full review
