Lydia Braiding & Weaving

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, QualityLong story shortish….I went in for regular small/medium braids with triangle parts. I showed them a picture (OF THEIR OWN WORK ON MY HEAD) and afterwards I paid and left (without looking in the mirror, which I accept full responsibility for). I caught a glimpse of my hair in my rearview mirror and saw JUMBO BRAIDS and called them back to tell them I wasn’t happy with my hair. She told me my hair was thick and short in the back and that’s why she has to make them bigger. Mind you, I was just there 3 months before and this was not an issue. The next day I called again to see what they could do about it and they said they could redo it but they would charge me…..I paid over $200 the first time. My aunt got on the phone and they ended up rescheduling me and saying I just needed to pay for the hair. Fine. I get there and the lady starts yelling at me telling me I should’ve already taken my hair down ( I didn’t because I didn’t trust that they would redo it) and saying they would have to charge a take down fee. Again, fine. She then starts yelling again saying the lady on the phone was not my mom but was in fact my sister…what?!?! I never said she was my mom…anyway I stayed silent so they could do my hair. Another lady came in and they started talking in another language and then she kept saying ” why you want small braids?! You hair is thick. THICK!”. At this point I’m beyond frustrated. I tell her I have had my hair done the way I like it…HERE at this salon! I asked if she would like to see the picture. She said no. They finished my hair and left me sitting on the chair. After a few minutes she says, “oh you’re done.” I pay the $25 take down and hair fee and leave. I’m never going back there again!Also side bar: the first time she was doing my hair, she stopped to preach at the 3 or 4 clients that were in the salon at the time and it really didn’t sit right with me. She kept saying gay people are an abomination and that if we turned our backs on God we were all going to hell….. I did not come to the salon for a sermon. ✌ Long story shortish….I went in for regular small/medium braids with triangle parts.
