Ok, so the only good thing I have to say is that the braids are really pretty.
That's it. First off I made an appointment with a braider and asked was 12 o clock ok? She replied yes, and then told me to come at 9am!?
I arrive and she is braiding some other woman's hair with another braider.
When she starts my hair, it's 10 o clock am!
She braids the front of my head half way, bc I got long box braids, then after she's done with the section, she goes back and braids them all the way down. Which I feel takes longer.
But after she finishes the front part of my hair, she tells me that she had an emergency, she needs to go, but could I pay now?
I paid her, bc they have sign posted around the shop saying that payment is expected before the service is done. And she leaves.
She tells me that another braider, that currently working on someone else head will finish with that client, then come braid my hair.
I go sit on the couch and ended up falling asleep from the wait which was like and Hr and a half. And when I woke up, she told me that she was coming after she got herself something to eat.
So I continue to wait and then finally stylist number 2 starts working on my head. Myself and another woman were in there perspiring and had already removed our jackets, so I finally told them that it was hot. She then turns on the air.
Stylist number 3 finishes her clients hair and comes to help number 2 with my hair for like 15mins then When number 2 assists a client taking out her braids and leaves number 3 working on my hair by herself. Number 3s son is running around me, bumping into me and she has to stop often to correct his wandering curious mind. She finally finished adding hair into my head, then takes another hr to cut off fly ends and finish braiding hair down.
I let her know that my hair was really tight and she kept pulling my braids and apologizing when I jumped around in the chair.
I'm Unsatisfied bc. They didn't braid my hair all the way down and my ends look undone. And when she finally finished at 6 o clock, I left with wet hair.
I paid $180 and I'll never go back. I literally was holding back tears on my way out the door as it hurt to walk bc my braids were so tight, and my scalp was burning. It took all day, an Hr nap, $180 and 3 braiders to finish my look and now I'm unable to sleep on it.
I can't wait until it loosen so I can go back and get them to braid my hair all the way down to prevent braids from unraveling.
After that - I'll never go back, ever!
I am a proud braid wearer, it's generally my go to style and these are entirely too tight. I've never been unable to sleep on braids after getting them done.
I am also not tender headed!
I usually braid my own hair, but it takes me 13 Hr to do it, so I was trying to catch a break and have them do it for me and now I just wished that I had done my hair myself.
