    I live in Bk this place is in Bx. This place is at the end of the 2 line, literally right off the train. The spot is bigger than it looks and they have braiding stations all over the place. It was easy to make an appointment over text. I sent a pic of what I wanted and a price was sent. The best part was that they are quick and professional. Once they started they did not stop and all the braids were very neat. They also considered of my weak edges. Half my head is shaved so I was out of there quick-quick! Overall I was very pleased with the whole experience and I will be back.

    What I got

    I've been going to this shop for years but they have truly changed for the worst. The styles are extremely overpriced, they rush doing your hair and were extremely rough with my head for no reason and they DO NOT follow reference pictures! 2 times in a row they have not done what I've asked for after saying they could. When you work hard for your money it's hurts to feel like it went down the drain. After years of being a loyal costumer, I will not be returning. Please find somewhere else.

    I've been going here for years !! Visited today as part of their promo to be lied to and told at the end " it's only if you purchase hair from us!" Which wasn't stated in the caption ! Total dishonesty . I'll never visit here again

    Knotless box braids

    Christmas Eve, I came to Mimis salon to get my hair braided. I am growing my hair back and had been going to a few different shops over the last several months.. A week ago I was driving around and stumbled onto this salon. I never entered the salon but saw that all the braiders had on smocks. I thought wow, what a Professional and efficient establishment . On Tuesday evening, I took my previous braids out, washed and conditioned my hair. This morning after my early appt with client, I went to the shop. I arrived about 10:15am, parking is a challenge but it's so worth it. Because my hair is short and my sides are just growing back because I shaved the sides over the summer. I chose knotless box braids. This is my go to spot. Even once I start my Loc journey, Braid Experts can take care of me. I was going to another shop by Fordham Rd, but I feel this shop is by far the most experienced braid salon I have ever patronized. Mimi, thank you for your great service and patience.

    My teen daughter had a great experience. She loves her hair and said the stylists were really kind. My daughter got bohemian twists.

I came across Shi at Shi is Beauty Studios and have been going to her ever since! Her hair care and styling skills are impeccable, and I have been satisfied ever since.

I heard about both of them from my current hair stylist who said Roxan is the best for updo and anyone she hires for makeup is great. She did not lie. I paid my deposits for both of them and showed up at 11am sharp for my appt. I got my hair washed and i was out in the dryer with rollers while i waited for roxan. When my hair was dried, i got my makeup done and Roxan styled another client. After my makeup was done she styled my hair. She was honest about what would work and not work for my hair as my hair is very long but fine. And she added hair and things to make it look fuller. I left feeling beautiful and my son even called me a princess! It's now Sunday night and my hair is still intact, i don't want to undo it because i love it and have been sleeping with a bonnet and it looks exactly the same ! The makeup didn't budge at all until i washed it off. I will def be back for all future events. I loved the work and how convenient it was to get my hair and makeup done at the same location!

I even moved out of state and STILL make my way back because she is truly one of a kind. If you are looking for a stylist that is fast, professional and talented please give her a try!

Service requested was wash and blow dry / rollers and trim but since I have a 4 year old she was not going to sit under a dryer, her appointment was for 11:15am we arrived 10 minutes prior, the appointment was booked with the owner Caroline and she greeted us and of course as any salon she was running behind no problem did not think it would of been the amount of time until my daughters appointment kept getting pushed back after she requested for her to have her hair washed and asked if I wanted her to get rollers put in and I kindly told her no so end result we waited 2 hrs 1/2 and in that time her hair had dryer on its own mind you her appointment was at 11:15am to be sat in her chair at 1:00pm a four year old having to wait all that time, ridiculous just to be charged $80 for wash dry and trim and no extras were added to this service no one especially not a child should have waited all that time. I would not recommend setting an appointment with this establishment if the time is not honored 2 1/2 hrs is blasphemy, overall service terrible customer care.
