I made an appointment to get my hair done. When I get there she tells that she can’t do my hair. How are you in business and don’t know how do to nothing. She had hair natural hair sticking out and got up.set when I didn’t like it. I would never go then unless it box braids. She said that 2 feed ins take roo long to do.

So I took my corn rows out last night and decided to come to this unpleasant business, first they open at 9am I waited outside until 10am just for the lazy Braider to tell me my hair was to short! She didn’t comb or pick it out. So even though I just had corn toes less than 24 hrs my hair shrunk overnight. Lazy and would never waste my time coming back here. If I could I would give this business a 0 star.

Ms. Rakia is awesome! I pulled up to her shop, shared my dilemma & performed a miracle. Very grateful to her for taking me on such short notice. I feel so much better.

I made an appointment for 10 am when I got there the shop was filled with customers about an hour later Rica called me and told me she didn’t know the salon was so busy if I can come back in two hour. I told her I would wait . I sat for two hour and nobody said anything to me so I sent her a text message saying I was very disappointed. She then sent one of her workers to me saying she’ will take off $10.00 and the worker told me that she will tend to me after finishing the person hair she was working on she n another worker.

Positive:Cleanliness,Professionalism,Punctuality,Quality,ValueI got feed-in cornrows with a zig zag part. This was during quarantine and the shop was not open. However the owner called right back asked me to send a pic and she will let me know the price. She invited me to her home to do the style.Wow wow wow is all I can say. I am from ny and moved out here almost a year now. She is the only person to ever touch my hair out here. Rakia is amazing. Soft spoken gentle and neat. She braids pretty quickly and gives you what you want. I love my hair Rakia thank you sooo much. Oh btw she had me looking great for my bday which was 2 days away. I am more than a satisfied customer.I got feed-in cornrows with a zig zag part. This was during quarantine and the shop was not open.
