“I definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking to get any great braiding hairstyle. I got small boho knotless braids done here and it is so beautiful! Shout out to Valerie and Aster who both did my hair, plus everyone else in the salon who assisted (including the owner, Fifi)! My hair was done quickly and professionally despite how small I got the braids. My entire experience was superb, and I will definitely be coming back for more great braiding styles. Thank you all so much again. 10 out of 10 Recommend!”

“Excellent service here! I was nervous going in because I have fine 3c hair but they were gentle without leaving the braids loose. They also work incredibly fast. I got medium knotless braids that took around four hours for $180 and lasted three weeks (good retention for my hair type) and I’ve just gotten cornrows that took 45 minutes for $45 (both prices don’t include tip). Highly recommend!”

“I am very happy with my hairstyle. I called and made an appointment for the next day with no issue. They provided me with a fair & honest price, which I truly appreciated. They also accommodated my request regarding timing because I had to leave the salon by a specific time. Overall they did excellent work and were warm and welcoming. I will definitely come back. Great location too.”

“Great place with wonderful ladies that work here. I had a concert even and needed my hair braided. Wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but the young lady worked with me to get it done. The charge was reasonable as well. Will definitely be back.”
