”They braided way too tight. It was unnecessary. I get my braids done all the time and I am noticing my edges are so thinned out, 3 weeks later. They need to do better with that.

My other complaint was I booked the appointment via the Styleseat app where my pymt method is stored, but yet, they demanded cash at checkout. Walked me to an ATM machine to get the cash. I was offended as this should have been told to me when I booked the appointment. I thought it was very unprofessional.“

FATOU: ”I am sorry that you are so displeased
about the payment is on our profile that we only accept cash at this moment I’m sorry that you didn’t read it and also for your hair been tight we apologize
We could have fixed it if you had expressed it while getting your hair
We most of the time customize the way we braid per client request
Again we are very sorry and we which you all the best
Thank you“

”Always have a great experience when I go to get my hair done. This shop is a class act always! My hair always looks great and so does everyone else’s that’s in there for that matter. Always great communication, always great work! I can’t say enough about Blue, she is amazingly fast with microbraids and they always look good! I’ve recommended this place to co-workers because even after two months of having micro braids they still look so good that people ask “who did your braids?” Not to mention the hair growth I’ve seen since going there getting my hair braiding. The entire staff is great and they service diverse hair as well. I will say too, Faith creates an environment that is welcoming for all types of people, that’s supportive of people’s dreams and that is kind. These are very important qualities. I always try to write a review after every visit, today is no different. Great experience as usual. Thank you Faith for communicating in a timely manner about the appointment time change because of the weather delay for schools. Thank you Blue for your amazing work and being so nice. Never disappointed!“

”Blue did it again. Head full of micro braids that look great and aren’t too tight all under six hours. She’s so nice and cares about your head. This is my second time with her and I’ll keep going back. Not to mention, the first go around, my hair grew a lot. Great shop, professional braider and good environment plus they don’t keep you in the salón all day. My girl Blue though, she’s all that!“

”So impressed. My appointment was confirmed twice( I booked online) and was even given the option to come in earlier, which I took. The shop was a bit difficult to find because it’s in a barbershop but it was clean and quiet. My braider Blue was great. I got micro braids and she was done in 5 hours, yes I said 5 hours and they look great. She respected my time and my edges..lol. Every other time I’ve gotten micros at other salons they took at least 8 hours and I could always find something wrong but not this time. Blue didn’t spend time on the phone or taking breaks and she respected the fact that I was tender headed too. I asked for thin areas to be covered and she did a great job at that. I brought in 6 packs of hair (4black and 2brown) she only used 2.5 packs and my hair looks full but not heavy just as requested. The clientele in this shop were wonderful ladies also, no drama going on. I also met the owner Fatouh and she was very nice. She even made sure to call a customer twice who had an appointment whose braider was running behind to let her know so she wouldn’t have to come in and wait, great customer service. All in all great experience. I will return. Thank you Blue, you were awesome and so was the shop experience!“

”I am new to the area and she was recommend by a coworker.

She gave me $20 off since she had me waiting.

My hair doesn’t look anything like the style that we discussed. I hate my hair.

Faith has he ability to do great hair from what I’ve seen however I was not pleased with my hair. My Senegalese twist are too full in the back and too empty in the front. I wanted them longer than bra strap and they barely touch my strap. I showed her a picture of the girl whose hair she did earlier and told her I wanted the same. The only thing me and that girl have the same is that we both have Senegalese twist.

I will not go back because now I have to go to another hairstyle and spent more money on getting my hair redone. “

However, once my daughter got her hair braided, I received a call at work saying that I needed to drive from DC back to MD to provide my credit card for payment. Apparently, the information I provided online was not usable (so I shouldn’t have been asked for it). Then, I received a call while on the way requesting cash payment instead. I can’t tell you how frustrating that was. The actual hair braiding was fine, but the administrative service was not good at all.“

”The experience was horrible…I would not recommend anyone coming here. The professionals who worked on my hair was comtinously huffing and puffing while doing my hair meaning she didn’t want to be there. Secondly the website did not advertise that you had to bring your own hair. I had to pay $35 for 8pcks of hair from the owner of the ship even though hair is sold for MUCH less. Lastly the owner was out of town and wanted customers to pay with cash. Which is an inconvience…no credit or checks could’ve been written out. She lied and said the machine was broken…however she just didn’t want to be charged nor teach her employees how to work a credit card machine. A $160 style turned into a $200…very unsatisfied by the attitudes and the false advertisement. “
