Betty african hair braiding

Jan 05, 2025

I see all these reviews and pictures of beautiful braids. Are we talking about the same salon because my braids were done horribly. All the ones in the back were loose and looked like they'd been in for 1month and a half. I won't be going back.My friends couldn't believe I paid $225. for these braids.

Absolutely amazing! Clean braids and the lady's do fast work. They're always willing to take a last minute appointment or walk-in. Very reasonable pricing. The only place i go in the Springs.

It was my first time getting my hair done professionally and I think it was a good experience. The only complaint I have is that the braiders didn’t really explain to me what I should get or how I should prep as my first time. The lady ended up saying that I bought the wrong hair so I had to go back to the beauty supply to get a better ponytail. But the finished look was amazing! (Pics: what I got vs what I asked for)

Betty and all the ladies that work here do a wonderful job at a fair price. If you are looking for a braider in Colorado Springs this is the place. They allow walk ins but I recommend making an appointment for a guaranteed spot. They also provide hair but I recommend coming in early to see if they have your desired color and length. If they don't have it there's a beauty supply nearby you can run to that you can purchase from. They only accept cash or zelle so be prepared before you come in.

Visite el lugar hace poco, y puedo decir que salí más que complacida, me encantaron mis trenzas y muy amables y profesionales. Super recomendado

I’ll just say I won’t be back. If you were like me and are thinking “let me just try it can’t be that bad” let this review be your deciding factor”.

I love the women in the shop they’re very kind, courteous and knowledgeable about what kind of braids you need to get to help your hair to grow. My hair has grown a lot and I’ve only my braids for 6 weeks. I’m definitely a customer for as long as I’m in Colorado Springs😊

I’ve been coming here for months, and every time they execute beyond expectations. Highly recommend!!!

Love Bitty and the ladies she has been my stylist for over three years dependable clean shop

This is my second time coming to Betty’s hair salon and I absolutely love it. The service is quick and efficient and they are very welcoming. Also, my hair is on the shorter side and they still braid my hair and do the styles I request. I am very satisfied with my hair every single time. Would recommend to people new to Colorado Springs looking for a braider who is fast and efficient.

Very patient and my hair came out very neat and perfect as wanted..❤️

I came into this shop last Saturday & asked if they took walk ins. I was asked what I was looking to have done and I replied just a wash and press IF they were able to do it. I said that I knew they were a braiding salon, but wanted to check to see if they were capable of doing a wash and press, and if not, it was totally fine. I got a bunch of weird stares as if I had something on my face. One of them asked if I meant a flat iron press & I said yes. Everyone in the shop seemed nervous of what I was asking & finally one of the older ladies said that she could wash my hair for me. I sat down in one of the chairs & had my 6 braids taken down. The older lady taking down my hair started commenting about how much oil was in my hair and ran her fingers through my hair to show me. This was absolutely uncalled for and rude, especially since my hair was going to be washed anyway. I told her I need to put oil in my hair frequently because it dries out so much due to it being dry here. As I was walking over to the sink to have my hair washed, another lady, (a heavyset woman with hairy legs & arms), came over to me and glared at me like she was disgusted at me and asked why I wanted my hair straightened. I told her it’s because I have a demanding job and need it to be as low maintenance as possible for a little while. She still looked at me strange and asked where I worked and I said, at a hospital. She then laughed at me and asked if I don’t ever get braids? I said I get braids all the time, but I wanted to get my hair straightened because I wanted to. When the older lady began to wash my hair, she was still commenting about the oil in my hair and said, we need to make sure we get all the oil out. She spent about 3-4 minutes washing my hair. If I had as much oil in my hair as she claimed, she would’ve spent longer than 3 minutes washing it, but I digress. After she washed my hair, the hairy woman had me sit in another chair & began to blow dry my hair poorly and then proceeded to start to section my hair and straighten it. She didn’t put any heat protectant on it at all. About the 2nd or 3rd piece of hair she did, she touched my skin with the flatiron and I jerked my head away. She “apologized” and then said, “she won’t touch my skin again, but will run the iron, only on my hair.” Why in the world would you touch someone’s skin with a flatiron to begin with while straightening their hair???? I said okay, and she kept straightening. She then made a comment, “it’s a good thing you express your pain because some people won’t and will just take it. I always say it’s important to express when you’re hurting.” I replied, “I will ALWAYS express when I’m in pain when getting my hair done. I’ve had too many bad experiences from hair dressers not taking my complaints seriously and ended up hurting me very badly.” She then said she would spray water on my roots to prevent my skin from being burned by the iron. I looked at her strange and said, “ummm it’s not heat protectant?” She said, no it’s just water. She herself wasn’t even sure & was asking another lady if using water would keep me from being burned. Within 15 seconds of her asking this, this lady put the iron right on my skin again, and I let out a terrible scream while pulling my head away. I could hear my skin & hair sizzling. As I was pulling my head away, she kept the iron ON MY SKIN AND IN MY HAIR. My scream scared everybody in the shop. And I told the lady to just stop doing my hair and that I was leaving because she refused to listen to me when I told her that she was hurting me and that the iron was too close to my scalp. Needless to say, the other women working there came over to my chair to ask what happened and the lady who was doing my hair tried to say that I screamed and pulled away because I only felt the steam from the iron. All the women began laughing at me & tried to get me to stay but I left. Pics are below of what I combed out of my hair last night from the patch where I was burned. You guys are absolutely horrible and I will NEVER recommend you to anyone.

Just moved here from Miami and needed to find a braider I called this shop and was able to get my hair twisted the same day. I got Senegalese twist and they are beautiful. I will definitely be going back.
