African Queens Hairbraiding

Positive: QualityI got box braids. I had to get my appointment rescheduled for some reason but It ended up being a couple days earlier instead which is fine I guess. I was the only client at the time. They don’t have a pricing chart so they come up with whatever price they want to charge. I dont have a whole bunch of hair but I was charged 220 plus having to buy my own hair. I found it to be on the expensive side. 2 women did my hair. I dont have any complaints about the workers though I didn’t talk to them all that much. Took about 4 hours. Usual Time. Didn’t smell all that great in the building. My hair feels like it was braided a little tight even days later but other than that I dont have any complaints about my hair. Probably won’t go back due to it being expensive.Services: Hair extensions, Braids, HairstylingI got box braids.

Critical: Professionalism, PunctualityUnfortunately I have to write this review. When I began using this place for my sons locs I had no issue maybe the first 2 times. They do good work and I expected that before choosing this place. When I set my next appointment it kept being put off by almost 2 hours. When I arrived I was asked to wait another 45 minutes for them to finish someone else. So I went home. I called the next day and was told to come in right away. When I did my son went in first and when I got in there was a new girl doing his hair I’d never even seen before. This young lady was so into her conversation that she could not work. She was completely turned around not even a hand on the head. Then another 30 minutes for everyone to order lunch. I pulled the manager outside who was the person I was used to dealing with and told her I didn’t want to be rude and I can understand talking but not talking and not working. It was rude how many hours my appointment got pushed back the day before and now it’s all conversation and no work. She went in to the group and they all spoke French together then turned and gave me the nastiest looks I’ve ever received in a business. But the lady started working. Whenever another African lady would come in they would speak about me in French then she would look at me nasty. How uncomfortable to sit there for hours getting my child’s hair done. We came back once and the different smells overpowered the building. Just very strong and musty. I wanted to stick with the owner bc she started my sons hair but now anytime I call my calls are ignored or told no availability. I even tipped every time I came in even when they were unprofessional. I called today and my call went to voicemail. I called from a different number and it rang then she picked up. So disappointed smh. I could have handled the situation more nasty but instead I pulled the owner outside away from everyone to address my concerns. Not the type of business who I’d want to give my business to. Especially if I arrive on time and I have to wait for you.Service: HairstylingUnfortunately I have to write this review.

Critical: CleanlinessI’m leaving this review for my mother. She got her hair done here 3 days ago and today one of hair braids fell out while she was laying down. Another issue is she has big bumps on her hairline; which means it was braided too tight and the person braiding her hair had dirty hands. She has been treating them since they appeared. The style was cute but the issues that came with it are not worth coming back. Keep your hairline and don’t come here.I’m leaving this review for my mother.
