I had 2 colors so that's $20 extra to the $220 medium knotless. Always check the length of the braids since you pay based on the length. In all, I like the service I receive but plan to start looking at less expensive salons. Pricing for Boho braids has gotten outta control. However, I like the results

I got 1/2 of it out by myself with some help from my mom. Yama and her staff at Bex helped me finish and were reasonable with the cost. I watched several customers come and go and all were pleased. The employees here were quick and kind. Until I got desperate and looked for local braiding salons, I had not heard of this one although Yama says they have been around for 11 years. Based on this experience and the styling I saw, I will definitely return here for my next protective style.

I walked in, no appointment, and was told it would be about an hour. I left to get cash and came back. An hour later I was in the chair. 3.5 hours later I was walking out. I love my hair. Definitely recommend Bex African Hair Braiding. I will definitely be back. All three ladies were pleasant. The braiding was fast, and secure. I expected to be in tears, with the horror stories I've heard from other people going to other places. It's tight, but not killing me. They didn't even braid my edges as I requested.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with my hair…read more I haven't colored my hair in 10 years, so I was incredibly nervous walking into this appointment, but from the moment I sat down, I felt completely taken care of. The atmosphere was beautiful, the playlist was on point, the conversation was great, and I truly felt like the priority the entire time. She took the time to understand what I wanted, cared for my curls so well, and absolutely exceeded every expectation. I left with a curly cut, color, wash, and style, and I genuinely could not be happier with the result. If you're in Charlotte and looking for someone who specializes in curly hair, color, cuts, wash-and-gos, or extensions, I cannot recommend her enough. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also a joy to spend time with. Thank you for blessing me so much.

Usually they have 2 people braiding my hair (which is amazing for saving time) but this time there was just one so it took a lot longer than usual. BUT, worth it! I always love how my hair looks and they never disappoint. Highly highly recommend this braid shop :) I'm for sure a repeat customer.

I never got around to writing this review, but three weeks ago I took my daughter Isela to Madusu…read moreNext Level Braiding. She wanted hip length red skinny bone braids... but in a color that turned every head in the room. I paid for it without saying a word, even though my heart was breaking in my chest. Because two nights earlier, my 15-year-old baby was picked up and questioned by the Charlotte Police Department. She was the getaway driver in an armed robbery... sitting in the car while her boyfriend, or as she likes to call him, "her baby daddy," stormed into a corner store with a loaded weapon and walked out with under $200 in cash and consequences. She swears she didn't know what he was going to do. But she still drove. And she still stayed. That boy is already 18, and he's got a record thicker than a phone book... and now my daughter's tied to him in a way that might haunt her for the rest of her life. And the worst part? I've lived this already. With her father. My husband of 43 years. He's been incarcerated since 2016, six counts of MS and enough drug trafficking to bury a neighborhood.... He wore the same charm, the same swagger. That smooth mfer could talk the devil into giving up his horns. I tried to shield Isela from all of it. Kept her in church. Bought her books. Let her dance. But blood is loud. And when a girl grows up missing her daddy but worshiping the myth of him, it turns into something dangerous. So I did the only thing I knew how to do. I took her to get her hair braided. Not because she earned it. But because she needed to feel human. To sit still. To be touched gently. Because the next touch might be a cold bench, or a cold cell, or a cold truth that changes her forever. Madusu braided like she understood. No judgment. Just hands and grace. She gave my daughter dignity when I didn't have the strength to speak. Then I sent Isela home until the initial hearing to Santa Cruz El Chol, back to her Abuela. A house full of prayers and discipline. A house where there's no such thing as baby daddies and red braids and girls growing up too fast. Just work. Just faith. Just time to think. If you're a mother reading this: don't wait. Don't look the other way. Don't let love make you blind. Because I almost did. And now I'm terrified I'll lose my daughter to the same shadows that took her father. Pray for her. Please. Thank you, Madusu, for being kind when we needed it most. #MadusuNextLevelBraiding #Isela #RedBraidsAndRedFlags #MamaTried #SantaCruzElChol #CharlotteMoms #GenerationalWounds #BreakTheCycle #SheStillMine #EvenNow

I'm a fan of Quantovius Forte. He is Q. I started with him…read morein JCPenney Pineville and followed him over to Hera by Him. Off the back, he gets 4 stars versus 5 because I don't like paying a fee to swipe any card. I don't pay ATM fees nor any fee for my money. With that, cash is a bother and quite inconvenient to get. Yet, this whole fee thing passed on to consumers seems to be a standard in Charlotte. He is on Style Seat. He is always on time. This is essential for me. I trust him with the kid and that is a big deal like bigger than I'll permit about anyone in my hair but not the kid's hair. He does steam conditioning which I prefer. He doesn't try and throw in work that's not needed. I've brought in the kid for a trim and he's like, "I promise it doesn't need it." I'm usually a stickler for every six (6) weeks yet trust his guidance when he says nope not yet. He also worked with my hair when I left being natural after 9+ years and went back to relaxing. The kid has never been relaxed nor had chemicals and his press & curls last on the 4D hair that the kid presents (70% 4d maybe 20% 4c the rest is even tougher). P.S. He will answer or text you. I have never had to wait long for a follow up even when we haven't been in a while due to wearing braids. Oh! That's another thing, I'll take his advice on what to do for haircare. It's not about short term styles that look great but will kill our hair. I'll sport a sew-in or wig for that. He braids as well for the vixen - he set us up. I don't think he crochets as he referred the lady in the next station. P.P.S. There's a Mexican place next door. Town & Country Ford in the same lot. Adam & Eve at the other end of the plaza with a Barber shop in the lot as well.

I didn't get a text but I got an email confirmation. When I got there she was telling someone in the waiting room that she would be with her in 10 minutes. Which was a bad sign since it was my appointment time. But I followed her to her door anyway to tell her I was there for my appointment. She says, "I messaged you back asking you to come at 2 instead, is that okay?" I'm thinking, messaged me back where? Your website doesn't give us an inbox and I didn't get a text or email. But I don't like being difficult and assumed there was a misunderstanding... maybe she thought I was one of the other 3 clients she booked at the same time. So I go and waste a couple of hours. But something told me to contact her before I head back and ask her if she's actually going to be ready at 2. To which she replied "so sorry maybe 3." MAYBE 3??? My appointment was at 11 and for a reason... so I didn't go. I mean how about I'm so sorry I got behind, how about tomorrow? You'll be my first client. I'll give a free trim for the inconvenience... something besides thinking its totally okay to waste someone's day that way. The next day I went elsewhere and she was professional and kept me updated that she was running 15 mintes late and she did a fantastic job. I'm never going to Natural Elegance again but if you go, make sure you ask if its okay first before you leave the house
