I’ve visited here twice to get my hair done by Onika. Specialty in silk press & weaves. Her price was decent $150 so I booked for a silk press. I was disappointed to find she was tending to another client despite booking an appointment, but I let it go. My hair came out great & she was knowledgeable. I booked a second time & to my dismay after confirming, she rescheduled me due to the shop needing maintenance. The problem was, she only notified me a day before our appointment so I’d already taken my hair out of braids. I asked when’s the earliest she could take me & she dismissively told me I had to wait because she had other clients with first priority. That was shocking because my appointment was before theirs & as the professional should tell all of her clients she will service them in the sequence of who was inconvenienced first. Nonetheless I had no choice but to wait considering I’d already paid a deposit. My hair became a little more tangled because again it’s been out for days without treatment. I obviously wasn’t going to do my own hair because that’s the service I’m buying from her. When I finally did see her, again, I had to wait an hour after an agreed upon time because she was doing another clients hair. When she got me in the chair I was highly irritated because I rushed getting there, having to pay for garage parking (downtown BK parking is cut throat!), after a long days work, to still have to wait. After we were done it was about 8pm I told her to wrap my hair because I’m going to bed & asked her the price. This lady looked me in my face & told me it was $160. Keep in mind I’d already paid a $40 deposit, totaling $200! I asked why considering the last time, I was charged $150 for the same service. She said, because your hair was thick with buildup. I was surprised by the greed & beyond tired so being fed up, I paid & vowed never to return. To my dismay the next morning as I was getting ready for work, my hair was frizzy. No way did I just spend $200 for a silk press for my hair to look like a blowout less than a day after. I contacted her with pictures & she squeezed me in a day later. While I appreciated the urgency, its annoying I now have to make another trip after an already bad experience. And having it done over put extra stress & tension on my hair. After redoing it, my hair came out correctly but when I washed it out, I did end up having heat damage from having to done twice. I’ll never book with her again.

Hello all of my hair stars this is my first time here and I will be back. I called and they welcomed me. They are honest about your hair and the style you want to achieve. Latifa and her team did my hair. Her daughter blow dried my hair and Latifa went to work. My hair came out beautiful. She does not braid tight. My hair is gorgeous., Neat, NO MOOSE, Natural hair and cornrows with moose can dull out a style......LADIES THE SHOP IS CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL. Last thing it was $20 a large braid WHICH IS REASONABLE she does not charge for the tiny cornrow in between. Just last year it was $10 A braid HOWEVER LIFE CHANGES AND HER WORK REFLECTS IT. Ladies don't miss out on this clean, glamorous professional shop. Fyi its 1 flight up NO ELEVATOR. I WILL BE BACK. They also have a Queens doing perms, wash and set , dreads THEY ARE SLAYING HAIR IN THIS SHOP.

Latifa’s daughter, Mama, did such beautiful knotless braids for me. She was very receptive to my desires for my hair, delicate with my edges, and had great technique. All the women in the shop help each other finish the hair they are doing and are very kind. I haven’t had anyone touch my hair in years, and I’m so thankful she was the first to do so. Plus, she was so patient seeing that I have a lot of hair on my head. She was a wonderful recommendation from my sister, and I’m incredibly grateful to her. I’ll definitely be back. p.s. just book on a day when you aren’t stressed to go somewhere! Braiding takes time and the care you want for your hair also needs to be given to others. So be patient and relax while you wait to start your own ☺️ There’s lots of bubble tea and food in the surrounding area.

So clean!! Everyone who walk’s in who works here says good morning everyone. Everyone is so friendly and actually knows how to braid with you having to keep telling them how to braid your own hair! They have tea for you to make and cold water machine The seating area so comfortable and cozy. My 1st time coming here and will be back again. I am going to try and gate keep this. The wait is not long, they also offer to wash your hair and blow dry not sure of the charge for that. Looks like they touch up dreads as well. I wish I could give more then 5 stars.I love how neat each person braids not just one person. Their AC was on full blast but not enough to make you cold but comfortable very important on these hot summer days. 10 out of 10!! Will make this my niece new hair braiding location.

I had my hair twisted and it looks fabulous darling. It was my first time there, and it will not be my last time. The vibe was harmonious, I felt like I was In my livingroom with family. My hair is not tight and my edges were not pulled or tugged. My edges were left out as I requested. I got the salt and pepper ombre twist and I left feeling like a sexy superstar! My stylist Mama is skilled and educated about the care of natural hair . They do relaxers also, but their specialty is natural hair.

Another salon messed up my 8 year old's hair and burned her. But THIS salon took her in as a walk in last minute and were so sweet. They fixed her hair, asked about the hair that was used in her hair previously, asked her for her name. Latifa is so sweet and soft spoken. So is everyone else in there. I think this may be the only place I trust with my daughter's hair and maybe even my hair because I don't think she's rough at all. Thank you again ladies!!!

My absolute go-to salon. My stylist, Mama, is an all star! I recommend this place to all of my friends. I have been going here for two years and I am always amazed with how fast, competent, and lovely the service is. Wish I could give more stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Horrible I booked an appointment for simple cornrows and she had a hard time doing two simple braids. The part was crooked!!! The first time I went the girl did amazing but the second time it was a different girl and she was horrible

This was my very first time getting braids and I had a pleasant experience. Ms. Latifa was the primary braider and her daughter assisted. As you can see my braids are beautiful. Thank you so much.

So gentle. Most other braiding salons don’t offer washed but they do and it’s done right. No one was flinching or complaining when getting their hair braided. Found my new skin.
