Im a first time client of Twana. I actually found her on the web and obsessively looked over her crochet technique (which is well crafted). Twana's website is user friendly and answered all of my questions regarding: booking the appointment, salon address, what to bring, what to put in my hair before the appointment, etc. Her shop is very quaint and comfortable. My hairstyle was everything - EVERYTHING! Try her out! read more

Crochet Braids By Twana - Love my hair!! - Hair Extensions Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

First of all, Twana is just an amazing human being. From the moment you walk into her one-person salon, she makes you feel at ease and welcome. I first traveled to see her from Florida then when I moved to North Caroline. I was very nervous about my hair when I first reached out to her because I had some severe damage due to lupus. My first consult with her she was very thorough and provided me with all my options, any considerations i needed to keep in mind, and made herself very flexible to my schedule, as I was traveling in from out of state. I LOVED my straight crochet the first time she did a year or so ago, and i love it even more this second visit. She paid close attention to the style I was trying to achieve and nailed it. I thought the braids were going to be painful, but they were beautiful and painless. I will continue flying to Fredericksburg to see her because she makes it worthwhile. I could not speak more highly of a haircare professional than Twana. Her thoughtful approach to beauty is to be admired and commended. read more

Twana was amazing, explained everything, very thorough, on time, did a great job, would highly recommend!!!

****UPDATE- Twana complained to Yelp so the text messages have been removed. She complained bc she knows she was extremely unprofessional smh. If your interested, just inbox me if you want to see the text messages. I'm very disappointed in the lack of customer service and professionalism I received from Twana. I called and left a vm for an appointment. Twana's voicemail said - she's busy so it may take a while for her to call back but that she will return calls and she is available in October. So I waited 4 days with no return call. On the 4th day I texted her and she immediate responded saying she was sorry but was not accepting new clients. I texted back letting her know I would have appreciated a return call/text sooner. Her reply (attached) was extremely rude! She said she has since changed her voicemail and then proceeded to go off on me calling me judgmental because I told her a timely reply to my vm 4 days ago would have been appreciated. The nerve of Twana! She had time to change her vm but no common courtesy to return a business call and then gets snippy. Smh! * Response to Twana's comment. I was never rude to you. People can see that by the text messages I posted (we never spoke over the phone). Your website still says you're accepting new clients smh. Thought you updated it. I'm so glad I wasn't styled by a miserable human being like yourself. What you don't understand is I have a right to be upset, not you. A good business owner who made a mistake would have understood that but not you. Obviously, you think you are above common courtesy smh. So glad you have shown yelpers your true colors. Good riddance! read more

Anyone who knows me knows I have an insane love/hate relationship with my hair! Being of mixed heritage, my hair isn't kinky enough for some styles yet it doesn't hold a curl for anything in the world!! Coupled with a busy lifestyle of work,traveling and Mommy duties and I sincerely do not have time to worry about how fabulous I look! After going crazy and dying my hair about 6 times in less than 2 months ( I was finding myself lol), I literally found Ms. Twana online in a moment of despair. Earlier that same day, I told my girlfriends that I was going to just chop my hair off the next morning. Luckily Twana responded immediately and we scheduled an appointment at my home. Twana was more than patient with me and answered all of my questions in a respectful and professional manner. I felt confident and completely comfortable with her not only in my home but around my family as well. Less than three hours later, I went from being on the brink of despair to looking fabulous! The maintenance is minimal and I spend less than 5 minutes a day on the upkeep of my hair. She always has up to date recommendations on the best hair care products and also has tips on how to treat my natural hair so it can continue to grow. Every time I take out my hair I am simply amazed by how much my hair has grown and how strong and healthy it is!! In the past 7 months since we met, my hair has grown over 5 inches. Seriously!!! Twana's service is right on time and it is not by mistake that her client base has grown. Ladies, there is NO ONE in this area offering a service as professional, convenient and amazing as hers. I feel like a brand new woman and it shows. Thank you Twana! See you in 5 weeks!!! read more

Twana did my hair for my bachelorette party and for my wedding day, and I am completely pleased with her services. I love my crochet braids and they last about 6 weeks. Twana is very professional with her services and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. I am aware that she is often busy and that appointment times will often fill up quickly. This is why I always scheduled immediately after my appointment. When you are good at what you do, often times there's a high demand for your services. This is the case with Twana. If you ever read negative reviews on Twana it isn't true. This is my third time going to Twana for her services and I'm happy with her services each time. read more

Let me start by saying that Twana is a game changer. She is very professional and her appointment process is so streamlined and stress free that I feel every at home salon should adopt her appointment booking policy. She listened to my concerns about my hair and my exercise routine helped me make a style decision that would best suit my lifestyle. Twana really cares about keeping your hair healthy as well and giving you a fabulous and easy to maintain hair style. She was very attentive and before I left she made sure I knew exactly what products to use to maintain my style, her salon space is nicely decorated. I left with a second appointment booked and springy, sexy style that was second to none. If you're looking for a new stylist you should call immediately, with her talent I'm sure she will be fully booked all summer pretty soon. read more

Crochet Braids By Twana - Hair Extensions Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

HORRIBLE experience with this stylist. She has made multiple inappropriate comments to me during appointments and I tried to give her a chance despite my husband telling me to get rid of her after the first session. She said 'jokingly' that her younger self would "give me a run for my money" and spoke about my body multiple times, although I never wished to compare and contrast body types. I've had different hairstylists before and I have never dealt with anyone who has commented on my body, asking me about interracial dating because of my husband (then indirectly implying it's a fetish). She has a right to believe whatever but she should keep her unsolicited, biased opinions to herself and whoever is delusional enough to listen. I cut her off after I found a new stylist and ended it saying I'll text her again if I need another appointment. Tried to be nice about it and not end it sour but I wouldn't recommend her to anyone I know. She's right, we were never a good fit. I might be too nice. read more

I wanted a protective hair style that covered all of my hair that was not a full weave. I began to research crochet braids which led me to Twana! I emailed Twana with my questions and she was prompt to respond. The only thing that made me hesitate, was that she recommended using synthetic hair which usually makes my scalp itch. At her recommendation, I watched You Tube videos on how to pre-soak synthetic hair to remove the coating (in vinegar and water) that is the culprit of the itching and irritation. My appointment was at 9am - she was prompt and ready to get started when I walked in the door. I was done in less than three hours. Twana is very friendly and is really knowledgeable what her craft. I have had my crochet braids for a week, and I love love love them! I used Water Wave by Freetress. Twana cut and shaped the hair for me and I am following her suggestions on how to maintain the hair, including using the recommended products. I have received a lot of compliments and I am happy with the hair and best of all - no itching!!! read more

Waiting to try and get on her calendar and then driving from the College Park, MD area to VA was ALL worth it. I will do it again - and bring my mother! This woman is the master. I am not one for "big" hair, but Twana assured me that it would settle and be gorgeous. It is - she was absolutely right - and I get complimented on it daily. I work in a very conservative environment, so I use a Scunci Vintage Roll to style it for work. That is what you're seeing in the pics. I would recommend Twana to anyone! read more

I found Twana on Yelp! and was excited after viewing all the pics on her website. My appointment was at 8am on a Sunday. When I met her, she was awesomely nice and down to earth. I really felt comfortable as we talked about everything from our fav TV shows to haircare to what we were cooking for dinner. It made the time go by fast even though it didn't take long in the first place. I was out the door by 10:45. I was very pleased with the results and her advice on how to take care of it. She showed me all the products she uses and even let me have a nightcap to sleep in because the one I showed her that I had wasn't what she recommended. I will be going back because I like the way it feels. It's very light and versatile... feeling healthier already. Don't waste anytime, make your appointment today! read more

I don't even know where to begin! My experience with Twana was one of the best, EVER! She is punctual, personable and a true expert. I scheduled my appointment for my birthday at 9:30am. I arrived on time and Twana went right to work. It was just me and I didn't have to worry about waiting for other people ahead of me. Twana was so incredibly friendly and I felt comfortable with her right off the bat. We had so much to chat about that the time flew by! She was done in 2.5 hours. I've been in a salon longer than that NOT getting braids done. She thoroughly explained how to take care of my hair and what products to use. I am absolutely in love with my hair and have never received so many compliments. Complete strangers have told me how much they love my hair! I can't wait to get my hair done again. Plus her prices are fantastic! I drove an hour to and from and it was well worth it. I highly recommend! read more

I finally found my diamond in the rough in Twana. She is professional, prompt, and if that isn't enough...she knows what she is doing. My hair is extremely short in front from perms and braiding styles, and she was able to give me crochets that stayed in place without fail. And...did I mention when I found her website, I was within 3 days of flying to the West coast for a wedding; desperate to have my hair done, and she took me on her day off. I was both ecstatic, and sad because she was extremely busy during the Christmas holiday season, but she fit me in her schedule. Twana, you have tapped into a market screaming your name. I'm just glad you heard us calling. Thank you! read more

I recently moved from GA to MD and was looking for a stylist that could help me with a protective hair style. I called Twana for a phone consultation and felt like we were old friends after the conversation. She offered to purchase the hair for me since I was new to the area.

This is true customer service. I also appreciated her candor with her own hair journey and learned a lot of great tips. I am SUPER happy with me hair and will certainly be back. Thanks Twana!!!

I can't believe I am just now remembering to write a review for Twana. I have been going to her for the past 9 months, and each time I have been completely blown away by the results.
