I got my hair done yesterday they did an amazing job! I got bohemian knotless with minimal curl hair.. My braids are flawless, to my butt definitely worth the price . The braide were so friendly and sweet… only took 4 hours definitely will be back!

I love this place. Everyone was friendly and respectful. I was so happy with my hair. The sides of my hair is shaved. I couldn't believe she was able to braid the short part of my hair. I will definitely be returning. Thanks B for making this a great experience.

The staff is really nice and the work was really nice. The issue I had was when I took my hair out of my braids after two months. What ever was used for gel while braiding my hair pulled my hair hair out. This was beyond normal hair build up and hair coming out after taking out braids. Unfortunately I would not be back. I have recommended so many people to this establishment prior to taking my hair out.

I called to reserve a spot to get my hair done and the woman I spoke with was very helpful and sweet. I got in the chair at 8am and was out around 2. I got mid-back length bohemian braids and they took the time to curl my ends and give me the proper instructions to upkeep my hair (2 ladies) I have a sensitivity to synthetic/synthetic blend hair but it’s almost been a week and so far so good! 😊 hopefully my scalp will agree with this braiding hair. I will be coming back! Love my hair 🫶🏾

I just had the most incredible experience with Bih, an exceptionally talented braider! From the moment I walked in, her warmth and kindness made me feel right at home. As an immigrant Black woman, she brings an authenticity and depth of experience to her work that you simply can’t find anywhere else. Her selfless, loving nature shines through in everything she does – she genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they leave not only looking great but feeling great too. Her braiding skills are next-level. Every braid was done to perfection, with incredible attention to detail and a gentle touch. She understood exactly what I wanted and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I walked out of her chair feeling like a new person, just in a few hours. I really do appreciate how fast she braids my hair. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only exceptionally skilled but who will also treat you like family, I can’t recommend Mrs Bih enough. She’s a gem in the city of

Called Saturday and was able to make an appointment the same day. I was traveling through and stopped here bc I wanted something easy to maintain while on the road. I am extremely happy with the outcome. The staff was professional, courteous and fast. I’ve never felt so confident with my hair braided due to thin hair. I am so grateful to Bee and her staff for getting this old lady together. I will definitely be booking again. 💯
