Critical: Professionalism, QualityI used Fanta’s services for the first time a few days ago. I am not familiar with the “braiding” community here in Rhode Island so I went to Fanta based on a recommendation from a good friend. I have also seen my friend’s braids after they have been done and I was very impressed. However, I was requesting the installation of crochet braids rather than the “traditional” braiding hat I had seen done well.Fanta assured my friend that she could do the crochet style I was requesting. She was told up front that my hair was vey thin, fine, and fragile. Fanta never asked to see my hair before agreeing to the service. When I questioned the number of bags of hair she asked me to buy, she was adamant that I needed 8, even though most style recommendations called for less hair. It did not take me long after she finished for me to declare that she had definitely installed too much hair. And I made an appointment to go back and have some of it removed. However, before that could happen my entire scalp began to itch non-stop. While having a friend and my daughter remove the hair, we discovered that the installation of the hair was done by using 8 packs on 1/2 of my head and making huge clusters of knots that were definitely not professionally done, took extreme amounts of time to get out, and caused several sore spots in my head. When we called and spoke with Fanta, her position was that the problems were all my fault because I purchased the hair instead of getting it from her. She never suggested that the hair be washed before using to prevent the severe itching. She never once looked at my hair to determine the best approach to completing the style in my hair.And, ultimately, she was much more interested in taking no responsibility for her poor work than she was in securing a long-term customer. Traditional braids, thumbs up. Crochet braids, run elsewhere!!!Service: Hair extensionsI used Fanta’s services for the first time a few days ago.

Critical: ProfessionalismMy stylist was very aggressive and rude. The braids were overpriced and she didn’t do the style I asked. It’s not my first time getting braids there but it’s definitely my last. I have scabs and its still tight even after 2 weeks and oiling my scalp.Services: Hairstyling, Braids, Hair extensions, Box Braids
