Her work is neat, and she doesn't braid your brain and leave you in pain LOL. I reached out to her via text and she got back to me in good time. When I met her it felt like I had known her forever. She made me feel very comfortable in her home and checked on me and made sure I was ok the entire time. I definitely recommend Mariame for your braiding needs!

Mariame is so sweet and my braids are POPPIN…read more For those wondering, her prices start at $150. If youre getting singles, she has a little sample chart of braid sizes with the prices that go along with them. I got pretty small braids ($225) and got them super long (+$50). My actual hair is pretty short (3 inches) with a looser curl pattern. This, added to my braid size and length, made for a loooong appointment, but she was very patient and even after the last braid was installed, made sure they were all looking RIGHT. Her braiding is done from home, and I got to meet her beautiful family. Her grandson is super cute and entertained me while I sat there looking crazy with my hair and extension hair all over the place lol. Will def come back to her Bc like I said, my braids are POPPINNNNNN

I walked in knowing exactly what I wanted--had a clear style in mind and explained it carefully. I…read moreeven showed a reference photo. But somehow, the final result was completely different from what I asked for. Not only did the barber ignore key details I pointed out (like the length on top or the type of fade I wanted), but he also didn't double-check with me before making big cuts. By the time I realized it was going off-track, it was too late to fix. The haircut wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't mine. I left the chair feeling like I got someone else's look, not the one I came in for. Communication felt rushed, like they were in a hurry to get to the next person instead of taking time to get it right. Honestly, if you're going to a barber, the bare minimum is being heard. I didn't feel that here.

This is only my second time getting my hair braided and both she and Tina, the owner, were very good about answering all of my questions. The location is perfect, right there at South Shore, so it's easy to get to with plenty of parking. The salon space was comfortable and they were always checking in to see if I wanted anything to drink or snack on. I love having such a convenient spot to get my hair braided. I received so many compliments about my hair. Great job Sweet Growth!!

I came in to get a basic blowout from one of the stylists here. I'm so mad I forgot her name!!…read moreShe's got long curly black hair, and super adorable. Being someone who worked at a blowout bar, and worked my way up to corporate, my stylist did an amazing job. Also her head message was amazing! The blowouts at this salon is only $45.

I was passing by this salon when I was just starting out embracing my natural hair. I was…read morefollowing the curly girl method and my hair was just frizzy and soft. I walked in and this woman was standing there with natural kinky hair brushed and healthy down to her waist. I thought she is the woman to talk to! She intrriduced herself as Sydney, a hairdresser there and did a consultation. She told me that my hair needed more protein and recommended an aveda conditioning treatment After the first wash my curls were defined and shIny. I was sold on her. She knew all about product and curly hair and she clearly had personal experience. I just let my hair grow but I it got to a point where it was super uneven. I wanted a trim and I went back over to IZEK and Sydney was able to fIt me in. She gavE me the best baby trim. She left my length which is so important when you're growing curly hair out and she gave me this great shape so I have a lot of volume. It's really fun and cool looking I really like the ladies here. Sydney is great I'm so glad I found her.

I had an appointment scheduled for 10 AM and it's now 10:25 AM and the salon door is still closed. I should've known when I called multiple times and never got a call back, but I know how the aunties can be, so I figured I would just show up to my confirmed appointment time and be fine. Nope, no show to my appointment. Very disappointing.

My daughter got her hair braided here on Monday, and unfortunately, we were both very disappointed…read morewith the outcome. A full week before the appointment, I submitted a photo of the exact style we wanted to ensure there was no confusion. The style she received looked nothing like the reference photo. Not only was my daughter unhappy, but I also reached out to express our concerns. Rather than being met with any accountability or effort to fix the situation, I was simply told to spend more money with them. It became clear that the priority wasn't customer satisfaction, but profit. This experience is exactly why it's difficult to support some small businesses--when quality and service take a backseat to making money. I genuinely tried to resolve this issue respectfully, but given the response and the poor results, I will not be returning or recommending this salon to others.

Her hair is very thick, so she blow dried it, and there is a lot of shrinkage, I couldn't tell until just now she literally cut half her length off.

Sigh.... I loved my braider. he was skilled. I assisted in the braid down. My hair is pretty short…read moreso I asked if the length would be a problem. He said that it wouldn't be. I've had these braids for 10 days and about 12 have slipped out while I'm on vacation. The price that I paid made me think these would last a while. I'm on the airplane pulling out the remainder since the lady behind me just handed me another one... I normally braid my own but since it was short and I thought I couldn't grip it, I went to a braider... I've never had this issue before when braiding it myself...I was able to rebraid 4 of them but after that, I just said f*ck it. Now... I would still totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to get braided... BUT if u have short hair, be prepared for quite few to fall out.
