The service here is great! The women are so sweet. Kadiaja helped me remove my braids and was so gentle. The pricing is also very reasonable for how great the work is!

The lady was too aggressive on my hair she yanked out so much of my hair now my hair is see through don’t go if you love your hair

Braids were way too tight. Stylist refused to grease my scalp before doing the braids. Wouldn’t oil the scalp. Told me braids had to be this tight if I wanted them clean and no hair falling out of the braid. I have sores on my scalp and flakes. Consulted stylist about the issues with my scalp and refusing to give me a refund. Don’t go here!

Fatima is amazing ! Takes her time makes sure your comfortable and makes you feel at home. I love her bedside manner. As soon as I walked in I was seating and they got straight to my hair. I was in and out ! Everyone is so sweet honestly if your looking for a friendly place to get your hair done this is the one.

Fatima is so nice she paired my daughter with Fanta who didn’t even take a break my daughter braids were pretty small she started at 11:30 and finished by 5:30. She braided straight through and did a great job! It’s busy but no one is yelling and being rude Fatima for the most part runs a tight ship. Call and schedule an appointment it’s better

Absolutely stellar experience at this braiding shop! From start to finish, their service was top-notch. The staff is skilled and attentive. What truly impressed me was their affordability – great quality at a great price. Booking was a breeze, with flexible scheduling options that fit my busy schedule. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for beautiful braids without breaking the bank!

I’ve been coming to Fatima well over 4 years. She’s always accommodating, patient and great personality. She gives me exactly what I ask for and I’m a pain to deal with … lol

This was the fastest hair braiding I have gotten. If I were to do it myself it would’ve taken 3 days but Makale her hands are golden no pain and fast

Wonderful experience, very professional and quick and effective

Boho Boxbraids The amount of love that I was showered with is indescribable. I told these beautiful women my struggles and triumphs and why I was cutting my hair (locs if 4.5 year ) and starting over. They advised me, hugged me, and played uplifting music to lift my spirits. This is the community and love that the salon should have. Lastly, I was advised against my preferred style to avoid my hair slipping off and needing restyling. The honesty and love alone is why I recommend any and everyone to get there hair done here.


Feb 06, 2024

Got my hair done today and it was a great experience! Nice staff, efficient and my stylist did an amazing, neat job! Very happy with the results and will be back :)

I’m not going to gate keep. I love this place. Fatima does amazing work and is very meticulous. She does your hair EXACTLY how you want it. She’s on time, efficient and considerate of your time. Most importantly, the prices are reasonable. No long lines out the door like other shops!


Feb 06, 2024

I’ve know Fatima for a while now. Followed her from Westchester to Harlem and she always delivers. She always gives you what you ask for and more and the cost is always right. Call up and set your appointment and her and her team will get you right 🙌🏾🙏🏽
