She doesn't know how to bleach correctly my hair is multiple colors when I asked for FULL color I did not ask for highlights. My scalp is irritated due to her combing my hair aggressively before and after the bleaching process as I've since spoken to an actual professional and they've stated she WAS NOT supposed to do that because the hair is fragile. I've lost so much hair because of this lady. She charges for every thing even conditioner you have to buy 60 dollar conditioner with her service and she doesn't tell you this until you at the bowl already shampooed. The conditioner doesn't even work and tangles your hair even worse. I was booked for a silk press,trim,and color. She charged to detangle which I was ok with but I NEVER had anyone be that aggressive with African American hair. My hair was dry also when she was detangling and every black woman knows you don't detangle our hair dry. She kept checking her phone and walking around, braided someone else's hair while I was sitting there. After I seen how she treated my hair while applying the color I instantly said no to the trim and silk press. Mind you I paid 150 dollars for all 3 services as she requires full payment prior to service and calls it a booking fee! FOR EACH SERVICE? Insane then has the nerve to charge me 390 dollars still for a half ass color, wash (if I booked color that should be included in that service wtf?) and detangling. With that $60 raggedy conditioner. So in total 540 dollars for literally 1 service which I believe she over charged because I didn't want her to do the other services. I was fine with the 150 and maybe an additional 100 but 540? No and I've already disputed with my bank! NEVER AGAIN.

I recommend this salon for people who need last minute braids. Whenever I'm about to pull my hair…read moreout, I call Awa and they are able to take me the next day, and usually can get me done and out of the shop in 3-4 hours. The best part about Awa is that they will have multiple people braiding your hair as long as there are enough stylists who are available. Either way, these are the fastest hair braiders I've ever had on my hair. It is pretty pricey, but they provide the hair if it's regular box braids, so I guess the price is with the hair included. The ladies are sweet and I've witnessed them multiple times try to make sure that they are making the hair style as close as possible to the inspiration provided. Would definitely recommend!

Hands down the worst braiders in San Diego!! Not because…read morethey won't take you same day or finish your hair quickly...they definitely will...but you will lose your real hair in the process! 1. They are dirty af...they use the same dirty combs for everyone and refuse to clean them! My braider literally took a second to comb HER own hair with my comb while doing my hair! Like where is your home training or basic hygiene etiquette ? I was shocked. Mind you the comb was already missing several teeth and dirty. 2. They part hair SO hard and rough like it's necessary for a clean part. It's NOT! When I got home I saw my scalp was raw and redddd. It was sore for days and even got scabs which meant they broke skin! 3. They do not take their time combing through your hair if they tangle it they rake a comb through hard af pulling and braking off your hair with zero regard for how much hair is being broken! They are NOT trained or knowledgeable hairdressers who care about length retention for their clients. One girl dead a** ripped out so much of my hair and the last time I looked at her like are you fr? When I heard and saw her rip my hair in half and she just smirked and said.."oh sorry" 4. Two girls came to braid my hair at once and they were working on opposite sides of my head pulling my scalp opposing directions so hard I had to hold on tight to the base of each braid cuz I felt like my head was being ripped apart. Btw I am NOT tender headed at all! By the end of my most recent ordeal I was so over stimulated and sore I wanted to cry. That is JUST the braiding....they are also greedy and rude !! This was my second visit here...first time the experience was just as bad but I decided to give them one more chance...never again! I went in asking for waist length JUMBO braids....such and easy style which one their IG has a fixed price of 230...but I get quoted 300 in the shop and mind you I already paid a $30 deposit. Oh and they ALL speak creole ....not sure if they Haitian but for sure it's Creole and what THEY Don't KNOW IS THAT I AM FROM SAINT LUCIA SO I ALSO SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND CREOLE! So while I am there and they are speaking rudely about me (calling me a white girl- I'm black I'm just light skinned) and complaining about the fixed price I understood everything....one and ONLY one worker kept telling them they were so wrong for over charging me but they all ganged up on her telling her if she or the owner wants to charge a fixed price they should come do the braiding themselves. This arguing literally went on for an hour. The one girl out numbered finally left ! She was so over it and I was stuck there pretending I didn't know what they were saying. Probably why they were man handling my hair!!! I've braided my hair 100s of times in my life and I've never experienced such disgusting service. If you do decide to risk it and go here out of desperation please avoid the one who wears a short ugly blonde bob wig and the one with curly hair (she's a little lighter and usually has her hair in twists) They are the worst and bullies! For Chloe (the boss) just know I heard these women saying SO much awful things about you. Be careful.

Update: They have offered to fix my hair and braid them longer(which I suggested) for an additional…read morecost. Marie was very helpful and the braids came out better TLDR: Every other appointment they had went fine and my previous appointment with them was perfect. But my second left me with hair that I'm going to have to pay another stylist to fix. This makes me really sad to write. This is my second time visiting this salon and I had a great experience. But the second time I came I asked I booked my appointment for some mid back knotless braids. When I arrived I was being braided by Marie's assistant which was fine. She asked how small I wanted the braids and I showed her a picture. Marie then said I had booked my appointment for larger braids which isn't possible because her booking service does not allow to pick the size of the braids at booking. I told her what I wanted again and she that my appointment was for larger braids, I had to show her her own website and how it allows her clients to book services and she finally said that she knew about that issue and told me my braids were going to be more. At the end of my appointment her assistant finished my hair and I noticed some pieces had to be dipped again, no big deal I just asked for a redip. Her assistant had another appointment so Marie did it. It was then Marie noticed that my braids were not the same length and she started redoing some of them before they could be redipped. Her assistant then said she didn't even notice that some braids were different lengths while she was doing my hair. It was then I noticed that some of my ends had been braided all the time the tip and were unraveling. Marie made a comment about how she likes her braids to be perfect and this just caused her to double the work. After she finished I left and went to my car to put my hair up since it was hot and immediately noticed that doing that made some braids unravel again. I had to go back in and get more of those rebraided and refidipped and then kept noticing more braids that had different ends. Some ends were straight and others were braided to the tip. I told Marie and she asked me how I wanted time ends. This confused me because for knotless box braids it's custom for all the ends to be just straight, I told and they unbraided something pieces and redipped them again. I would like to say that I'm happy with my hair but I'm not, my ends are choppy and uneven and some of my braids halfway through are different sizes. It took additional 3ish hours for them to fix their mistakes. Which is really sweet and I appreciate it, but it should have had to happen. I didn't spend over $300 and 6 hours in chair to have micromanage and double check my stylist's work like this. When I woke up the next morning, I finally realized that my middle part isn't even in the middle of head and it's not straight. Every other appointment they had went fine and my previous appointment with them was perfect. But my second left me with hair that I'm going to have to pay another stylist to fix.

I got my hair braided by Marie for a couple of years before she sold the place. I was skeptical of…read morethe change in ownership at first, but I figured I would give it a try. My first appointment went well, I showed up and got right into a chair at my appointment time. I got exactly what I asked for in braid color, size, and length. The hair quality was great and the knotless braids were installed well. No itchiness, burning, or pain. I was pleasantly surprised. The second time went equally well, although they did not have the braid color I asked for (#4), I was still happy with the result. The hair quality and braiding were both well done. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I decided to make an appointment to get my braids removed. I usually do it myself, but I simply didn't have time because I was going out of town and I was really ready to have them taken down. Past ready. I call the business by phone. I called three times. The first time it just rang. The next two times I got an open line and then a click like someone hanging up. I finally gave up and tried to book the appointment online. I was so excited to see two available morning appointments. One was in half an hour. I live close, so I booked the appointment and then headed over to the salon. When I get there, there is a huge chain on the door and all the lights are off. Mind you, this is a Saturday and it is 2 hours after they claim the business opens. I grab my phone to call, and I see a message that my appointment has been canceled. I thought that was strange. Why do they have availability listed if no one is even there? What if I had been a walk-in? Anyway, I proceed to go online and book the next available appointment in an hour and call again. Mind you, there is a car next to me with people literally buying, selling, and consuming some kind of free base drugs in the car. I really don't want to sit in this parking lot any longer than I have to. This time a man does pick up my call. I let him know I am there for my appointment, but there is a lock on the door, and no one there. I also explain that I see that my appointment was canceled, but I have rescheduled for the next appointment and want to make sure someone will be there. He tells me that they canceled my appointment so I should not have come. I tried to explain to him that I made the appointment and almost immediately started driving there so I did not know about the canceled appointment until I had already arrived. Again, I have a new appointment, will someone be coming? He then has the audacity to tell me that I should have called first. Now I am not happy because I tried to call them 3 times and got hung up on twice. He says I was not hung up on, but they did have a bad connection when I tried to call earlier. Oh, so you are aware that I made several attempts to call and you still tell me "I should have called"? So I go back to whether or not someone will be there that day to remove my braids. He says she cannot take a same-day appointment because she already has a client in the chair. Sir, do you not understand that I am standing in front of this business right now and it is closed, padlocked and the lights are off?! This was where the lies started. Even if I was willing to put up with the disorganization and lack of communication, the lies pushed me over the edge. When I pointed out to him that he was bold-faced lying he said "Oh, I misunderstood when she said she was already with a client, but no one is available today". Mind you, throughout this conversation, there is a woman's voice in the background speaking another language to him. What I believe happened was she told him what to say - i.e., she was already with a client - and he repeated it but, she did not know I was at the shop. You're just going to lie like that? That broke me. In their defense, they did offer to make an appointment for me for the next day. As I pointed out, I was going out of town and I needed them out that day. Even if I had time, I was not sure I would ever be using that salon again. Unfortunately, in my experience, San Diego simply does not have the best hair braiding options. I was really happy with the previous owner of this salon and I was happy with the braids I got after ownership changed hands. I have no problem at all with the quality. As other reviews have pointed out (and I advise you to reorganize these reviews so that they show you "most recent" reviews first), this place is just disorganized and has very poor communication. I would add that they are more than willing to be dishonest in their business practices.
