She did a beautiful job on my updo, I appreciate you and thank you for doing my hair.

Nice atmosphere. Very good braiders. They've got everything you may need for any hair style. Got the exact appt day and time I wanted.

Recently moved to Northern California from NYC, and let me tell you, it has been HARD to find excellent braiders that are as skilled as my West African aunties and who do not over-inflate the prices. I'm so tired of these braiders using gel and half of pack of hair but charging over $400, what is going on? Anyways, I'm so happy I found this shop on Instagram! Solange did an amazing job and I felt like I was back home with my aunties, getting my hair done. :) If you want braiders that you don't have to direct (listen, I'm West African, and we do not play about our braids!) then this is the place! read more

I love my Passion twist. I was a little sad that my regular girl was not able to do my hair, but they found another girl and it worked out fine. read more

I always go to Kari's when I need my hair braided. The women are very welcoming and nice. Astou did my medium boho braids most recently and she was great! Very nice and a quick Braider. 10 out of 10 highly recommend booking with the ladies at Kadi's. read more

Save your money -- I don't recommend. I went to get my hair done, and while it looked okay at first, it wasn't what I wanted. I decided to let it go, but later noticed some of my hair was coming out and a few braids were messed up. When I reached out, I was told it could be fixed, but after a lot of back and forth, delays, and no communication, I got fed up and stopped trying. It's very unprofessional and frustrating to pay so much money and still end up with bad service. Lesson learned -- I won't be booking here again or recommending this place. read more

This is my third visit to Kadi's salon and I always leave satisfied. I had my hair washed and blow dried twice and also had a boho braids for my wedding done at her salon. The service is usually quick, efficient and painless. I love all the results, it's hard finding an African shop for hairstyles that's affordable with great service. I'll confine to drive long distance to come to Kadi for all my hair care. read more

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this shop. My hair braider and hairstylist did an outstanding job -- my braids were neat, perfectly done, and incredibly comfortable. The weave installation was flawless and blended beautifully, exceeding my expectations. The attention to detail, professionalism, and care truly stood out. What impressed me most is that every technician in the shop is clearly a top-rated expert at their craft. The entire team is talented, skilled, and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. You honestly cannot go wrong choosing anyone here. Without question, this is the most talented group of hairdressers and braiders I've found anywhere within 120 miles. Highly recommended -- I will definitely be returning! Mary read more

I've been going to Kady for years and will keep coming back. Today my stylist was Astou and she did amazing! I got a boho bob with much less boho because I find that works better for me, she was fast and very kind. I can be a little bossy because I have a particular way I like it done and she was so sweet about it, everything was done perfectly and I couldn't be happier with this result. Also I like to add I asked for boho with layered braids because it looks more natural and I cut more of the boho peices when I got howm to tailor it to my face , I LOVE IT read more

As a person from the Bayarea who loves braids I must say this experience has surpassed what I expected my braider did and exceptional job on my knotless singles so light handed and neat! I'm so happy I'm found them plus the shop was beautiful and everyone was so nice read more

Braid takedown...Thank you Hindi!! Quick, careful and attentive to my strands. I appreciate that. Well worth it...

My appointment was Friday Appointment 10th@ 8am. it was really refreshing that my braider Aimee was there before 8am and started promptly when I walked through the door. No stopping to eat or talk on the phone. very professional. The only negative is I think prices ate a little steep for small twist . I will return, however I will choose a style less expensive. read more

I got my hair done by TT at Kari's shop the exact date was June 2 at 8AM & she got done at exactly 2:35PM this hairstyle lasted until The end of August coming into September I was shocked but don't leave your hair in that long like I did lol It was worth it & I recommended my mom to come to the shop & this is my new shop since my African braider in SF retired & passed on. So I met a new family they're hella cool prices are worth it to me and they have hair they can also provide here as well . read more

I am A client with braids by Kadi. After going to several different braid stylists, I booked an appointment with Braids by Kadi in Stockton. I had very discouraging experiences prior to coming to Braids by Kadi. i have now completed my sixth visit at Braids by Kadi. Each visit was for a different braid style and I can truthfully say I have not been disappointed. The stylists are professional, friendly and extremely talented. Kadi is a perfectionist and does beautiful work. I highly recommend Braids by Kadi to anyone who is looking for perfection in their next next braid style. read more

The ladies do good work.. the problem is they're not allowed to talk to the customers, (I witnessed the owner reprimand an employee for talking to a customer) so they talk amongst themselves in French. As a customer it's very off putting. I don't know if they're talking about me or not, and the customer is left sitting in silence for the duration of their appointment while they chat and laugh. I absolutely loved my hair but I have sought out other Braiders I need a connection with the person who is caring for my hair. The energy of the person is important and you only get that by talking to a person. read more

I've been getting my braids done here for many years. Always a great experience and my braids are always perfect! This time I had the pleasure of being in the hands of Kadi's auntie..whose name is also Kadi! She took great care of me and completed my crochet style in rapid speed!! 1.5 hours!! I was like whoa!! Fantastic and they look fly as you-know-what! Love this place! read more

I love this shop me and my mom have been coming here for years we literally followed them when they moved from Pittsburg and before that Kadi use to braid in her house!!! My braids are always done correctly, fast and how I like them, my favorite is Astou she is nice fast and knows how to braid!!! Reasonable prices lowkey area and good customer service I hope they stay in business for as long as I got hair to grip. Thank you Astou!!! read more

TWO DAYS.I was very excited to get my hair done. When I first came into the salon . The people except Nay was rude. However, since it was my first time there they gave me a rookie braider. My hair was 275.00 I was refunded 140. within two days I had two braids come out. I tried to reschedule. I came in 20 mins late. To do the whole back since they are coming out. Then. They tried to flip it well you are 20 mins late. Lol I don't need a whole schedule appointment. I need was about 8 knotless braids bob length. They were stuck on the fact that I was 20 mins late. Well actually initially I had to wait 25-30 mins for me to get my hair done. Waste of time and money. I do not recommend this place. The nice braids from the website are not recent. I enjoyed my hairstyle so much but for you to dwell on 20mjns meanwhile my hair is falling apart after two days is insane. After reading reviews I know I'm not the only one. Kadi claimed my hair was too soft and needed to be longer that's why the braids are coming out. They refused to give me a new braider. Nay was my braider sweet gal. She probably 16years. As you can see the owner not taking accountability. I enjoyed Nay but I can tell she's fairly new. I will not come back. I wanted to love this place. Update : I was not refunded the whole amount she claims. All I wanted was a redo do with knotless that's all. Sad part the owner claim I demanded the tips back but that's should have come out of her pockets. Not Nays. You have several shops why would you do that to your braiders. That should come out from you. read more

I have left great reviews in the past for Braids by Kadi, but this is quite the opposite. I had Lauren do my hair. She did a poor job and had me come back the next day to fix it. my natural hair length is down my back. instead of unbraiding the braids, she cut all of the braids on the left side of my head at cheek level. WTH? when I unraveled the cut braided hair to show her that she cut about 3 to 5 inches depending on the braid off of my natural hair, she reapinded.."sorry" and continued to undo my hair like she had pulled too tight rather than cutting off my hair that rook me YEARS to grow. Since they did not acknowledge that this was a problem, I asked the young lady in charge what they were going to do that could come close to rectifying what Lauren had done when cutting off my whole left side of hair when she should have just been unbraiding it.. Her response was to give a $50 discount. I had paid $200 the day before. I asked her , "If you were sitting here and I cut off the whole left side of your hair, would you feel that a discount of $50 would be OK with you?" She said," I am sure she didn't mean to cut your hair off. " I have been coming to Kadi's for many years. Usually, Kadi does my hair, but she has not been around since opening the Stockton location. I will make sure that I let everyone know what may be done to their hair and how they will be treated ....on Every platform. Every complaint I read was turned around to blame the customer. Let's see how this goes. The fact that All of my money was not refunded is crazy to me. That would be the LEAST that they could do! You CUT OFF my hair when scissors should have never been in your hands. Do NOT TRUST them eith your hair, ir to do right by you when they make a mistake like this. read more

I have been going to this braid shop for years. Over time it has been on a downward spiral. I customer service is horrible. I made an appointment for Friday evening, one hour before my appointment I received a text telling me that my appointment was canceled. I tried calling, I evening responded to the text message and no one answered. I had to call the next day inquiring about my appointment. There was no availability. I requested my refund and never even received an apology. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I originally came in for added hair to braids. Although it looks good. I am a person that does not like hair coming down my neck or in my face. I decided to change my hair do for corn rolls only.

I had the opportunity of getting a re-twist by Betty. She is just an all around beautiful soul. She gave me some beautiful gold nuggets on how to get my thinning hair to become more healthy !! Not to mention the extraordinary job she did on my hair. Thank you Braids by Kari, for allowing be to be your customer. read more

A couple suggestions: 1. Use a secretary or someone who has time to return emails or phone calls to potential customers. 2. Immediately offer a refund of the customer's deposit when attempts to reach the business were made but did not get received by the business. I'm still waiting on someone to answer the questions I left via email and text. Poor communication makes it difficult for people to return. read more

Extremely upset about this re-twist . My husband took our son to get his red hair re-twisted for school pictures and instead of them saying that they were unable to do it. This is what they did and then say that they couldn't do it because we needed a Loctician because his hair is so thick. If you couldn't do it at the beginning where you shouldn't just say that in the first place. Now I have to find somebody to probably do his hair and pay more money. I don't recommend this place. read more

Hi I just got my hair done and I am very happy. Kawa was very nice and enjoyable. I will be coming back for future appointments

I was very pleased with the professionalism exhibited by the shop. I also appreciated the reminder email, which included the time, address, and amount owing. My stylist was punctual, arriving at the shop at 8AM and was ready for me upon my arrival. My stylist, Hawa, was courteous and offered me refreshments, including snacks and water, a gesture I found particularly considerate. The service is exceptional, and I intend to recommend the shop and return within a few months. Thank you, Kadi and Hawa. I'll come back and add my pictures later. read more
