Critical: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, ValueI asked for Extra Small Mid Back Knotless Braids and they gave me Medium Waist length Box Braids instead! I requested specifically the style they had on their instagram and the braider lied and said she could do it. After I got there, she told me that she couldn’t do Mid Back she had to do Waist length and charge me more for it ($385!). I said ok because it was late and she was trying to intimidate me. Shortly after she started, I noticed that the parting was large and couldn’t possibly be small enough to accommodate the volume of the hairstyle I requested, but she told me it would look full when she was done.Then, I went to the bathroom and saw that she was doing BOX BRAIDS on my hair and pulling my baby hairs so tight the skin was swelling and hairs were starting to rip out. I told her this and she said that on natural hair this is how knotless braids look and if I want to be natural then I should expect that. This is a lie because I’m Nigerian and have been natural my whole life and getting my hair braided for years and knotless is never supposed to look like box braids. Lo and behold, when she finished (well after 7 hours), the braids on my head were extremely tight medium sized box braids, not what I asked for. She charged me $385 for hair I wouldn’t pay more than $100 to get done.The first picture is what I asked for (you can see the title says Ex Small on their instagram) and the 2nd and 3rd photos are the big box braids she gave me. This style is going to weaken/rip out my edges which is why I requested specifically extra small knotless. She read all my messages and did not reply, so I have disputed it with my bank to get my money back and received my refund that way. If you see the other poor review, you can notice this is a pattern. Please get your hair done elsewhere for your sake, your money’s sake, and your hair’s sake.Service: BraidsI asked for Extra Small Mid Back Knotless Braids and they gave me Medium Waist length Box Braids instead!

Critical: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Valueshe is very unprofessional because she doesn’t return calls and didn’t fix what she messed up. Made my braids super big because she was tired. Had the nerve to tell me she made them bigger because I wanted them fuller. Excuse me Does fuller mean bigger? Fuller means more braids and that night she said she wasToo tired to add more rows because it was so late. If she was tired she shouldn’t have booked me. What she did is called lazy. Worst customer service. You’d think she ask first if she could make them bigger before creating her ownStyle. Said she fix but it’s been 4 days and I’ve been calling and texting her, Now she won’t answer my phone. Very rood and unprofessional and not honest. I do not recommend.Service: Braidsshe is very unprofessional because she doesn’t return calls and didn’t fix what she messed up. Made my braids super big because she was tired.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, ValueArike did a wonderful job on my braids. Reached out to her in a pinch and she was able to fit me in quickly. She was very professional and very welcoming. My original request was for Senegalese twists but she was very honest and let me know my hair was too short and it wouldn’t last. Not everyone would do that. She recommended box braids , which turned out extremely well. I already recommended my niece, who has since had Arike do her braids as well, which of course, was wonderfully done as well!Arike did a wonderful job on my braids.
