    This is what I got. I'll post a picture of the front later. These are NOT KNOTLESS BRAIDS & look at these parts!
    Tava B.

    First of all I LOVE COMING here to get my hair done. I'm always in and out in 3/4 hours. But again I need to just stick to what I'm use to. Today I called and inquired about knotless braids. I was informed that they start at $180 and they could do them. I also called another local shop and inquired about their pricing for the same style and they were actually running a special for them and also included the hair. I should've just went there.... But noooooooo I came to fati's just expecting the style...since they told me when I called they could do it and would give me a good price and more so because I come here all the time to get my hair braided...and not to mention these crazy times- so I decided to stay and allow 2 braiders who normally DONT braid my hair to braid my hair. & WHALLLA....refer to my pic for the ending result. Smh! Just KICK ME IN THE A** why don't cha! Something told me to grab a mirror and look at the back side of my head....A RUSHED JOB!! Unequal parts...braids JUST look a mess, some braids distinguishably bigger than the other...I can't get passed the parts. And mind you I did provide a picture to reference the kind of style I wanted... ***A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT I ASKED FOR vs WHAT I GOT. Hahahahaaa! Just disappointed. More so with myself for not going with my GUT!!! I may still come here but just for my basic box braiding service and I'll also stick to my girl who I would normally go to. This is what I get for trying to be nice

    I am a loyal customer at Fati's. I don't go anywhere else to get my hair braided. I always request Khadijah because she is who I am most familiar with and she takes very good care of my edges. lol All of the women in the shop are extremely nice, the vibe is always very comforting. My hair is always done quickly and the pricing is very reasonable. I always get medium sized, waist length box braids and it only costs $200!!! They provide the hair and have a wide variety of color choices. They do not wash hair, so however you go to the shop is how they will braid over. To make your experience easier and quicker, wash, condition and blow dry before coming.

    What I asked for...

    Beyond disappointed. I came in with my own hair and pics. I even showed pics while she was doing my hair. Not even close to what i asked for AT ALL. looked sooo bad. Took it out when I got home.

    What they tried to give me

    I've been to this shop before and didn't have an issue until today. I showed a picture and was quoted a price. I purchased my own curly hair and braiding hair. The braider Elsa was horrible. I requested her from a previous visit. The style she gave me was nothing like the photo shown. The rest of the stylist tried to convince me otherwise. When I express my disappointment with the front of my hair. They reluctantly agreed to redo it. Elsa was obviously upset that she had to redo the front of my hair which took her less than 30 minutes to do. Her once gentle touch was more tight and aggressive. I let her know if she wasn't up for the change to get someone else. At the end she charged me $20 more than what was quote saying they had to add the curly hair that was in the original photo with the quoted price. Needless to say I will NOT be returning but made the time to write this review.

    Fati does great work. My style was exactly what I asked for! Got me in and out. No appointment needed..

    Please avoid this business if you want crochet. I had a terrible experience. I called first to ask what kind of hair and they told me to ask the beauty supply shop. I did. When I got there they said it was not the hair they are used to and they made a mess of my crochet. Only did the perimeter and left the center with out crochet. It looked awful, cheap and unprofessional. They told me to come back in the morning with the hair they are used to but when I got there they all had people in the chairs. So I asked to just cut it out and left. Paid $160 no refund just laughter as I left frustrated terrible customer service.

    The owner is very nice. She was warm and welcoming. And there were ladies in the shop that braided well however my braider did not. They didn't have my hair color (4), not a big deal i went to get the hair. When i got back they had found some #4 hair, i suppose and the braider was already separating It. The hair i purchased was ombré because i wanted blonde at the end. She seemed to get mad because she had already started separating. Them she told me that she can't add the hair as she braids so she couldn't add the additional color that i wanted. Then she started braiding and the braids were to big. I requested small and showed a picture. She said she would add less hair. Overall the quality for the price was not there. My hair is sticking out of the braids and they are not the same thickness all the way to the end. They are thick at the beginning and super skinny at the end. I saw 2 other braider give the others the exact style i wanted and It was perfect. My co-worker recommended me and her hair is beautiful. Almost every braid has hair sticking out. Saw this when she was done, but at that point i had been there 6 hours and i was done. This style is not even a week old and i put on a bonnet as soon as i get home. Been getting braids for the last 5 years so i know how to take care of them. This was just a poor job. As nice as professional as the owner is, i wish she would have verified that the braiders work was on par with the work SHE does.

    I recently called for the large feed-in cornrows before my trip to the Caribbean. I was told to just come in at 11am; that there was no need to make an appointment. I came on a Monday at 11:00am and there were 5 braiders who were all working and 5 people waiting. I knew I was going to have to wait long. 45 minutes later, Sophie agreed to take me although she had an appointment on the way. After she was halfway through, her client showed up and she rushed through my head. It was $100 for the style. I left and came back an hour later after I realized the size inconsistency. She "fixed it" and I was on my way. I wasn't satisfied with the work but since I had to prepare for a flight, I didn't complain. I don't think I will be returning to this shop. I am very disappointed in the quality of the work Sophie provided especially with the amount that was paid. Hair is coming out all over. The braids are all different sizes and the ends are raggedy. I took them out immediately after returning home from my trip (7 days later).

    Do you do knotless box braids if so how much?

    They do and it costs $200 and up, including the hair

    Do they do braid removal? If so, how much?

    Hello, how much for medium box braids and is the hair included? Thanks! Also, I saw someone post all…

    Not sure of the cost, but if you call them, they will discuss. They provided hair for my braids.

    Do they crochet hair?

    Yes

    Can they do the Beyoncé lemonade cornrows (long, small cornrows to one side). If so, how much for that style?

    Yes, they can do the requested style. Price is based on length and you'd have to call or go by to show them & get a quote. Appointments are best. I do recommend that you have your hair washed & deep conditioned prior.

    Someone who has had goddess locs or regular faux locs, or someone who works for the salon please answer? How much do faux locs/goddess locs start? It's not listed on the price list.

    Faux locs is 180 and higher same goes to goddess locs

    How much do they charge for Crochet Braids?

    I'm not sure but there prices aren't too high so depending how long the prices are really around $150.

    Do I need to wash and blow dry my hair before coming or can I pay to get it washed there? Do I need to bring my own hair or is the hair provided?

    You should wash & deep condition your hair prior to your appointment. Blow dry it before arriving. They have the set up available but in the times I've been there I never see anyone request them to wash their hair. To have them shampoo your hair is… Read more

From day one, she's gone above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable -- allowing me to bring my own medicated products, gently working through sensitive areas, and even offering tips for how to manage my scalp health between appointments. She respects my boundaries, checks in with me regularly during services, and never makes me feel rushed or dismissed. It's rare to find a stylist who combines technical skill with genuine care -- but Ashley has both. I hate to see her receive negative feedback when I've experienced the exact opposite. She's communicative, thoughtful, and always working to give her clients the best experience possible -- even when juggling a full schedule. If you're looking for someone who understands not just hair but people, and who creates a welcoming space for kids, adults, and those with specific hair/scalp needs -- Ashley is the one.

    If you have fine 3B curls, I would be very cautious about booking with Sabrina Elyse…read more I went in for a color and a trim, but she convinced me to let her "give my hair some dimension." Instead, she heavily debulked my already fine hair and cut off several inches that I never asked to lose. I remember her turning me toward the mirror at the end of the appointment and instantly bursting into tears. I was devastated. My hair looked dry, uneven, and nothing like I had just left a salon. I was then ushered to the register and charged full price. Looking back, I still can't believe a stylist would let a client leave with their hair looking the way mine did. The photos speak for themselves: my hair was fuller and healthier before the appointment, and afterward I lost a significant amount of density and shape. I literally couldn't look in the mirror without crying for months. It has taken me a long time to regrow and recover from this haircut. I'm not writing this because I dislike Sabrina personally or because I'm seeking a refund. I'm writing it because I don't want someone else with fine curls to have the same experience I did (especially after spending over $200). This happened a while ago, and I sincerely hope her technique has improved since then. But based on my experience, I can't recommend her for fine curly hair.

I went to the salon to see Emily based on all the previous reviews but when I got there she wasn't at work yet :( So I let another stylist do my hair Juanna she did good.

I mainly did the blow out for the purpose of getting my ends clipped. I don't typical do heat on my natural hair one thing I was nervous about is that I didn't notice any heat protectant being used. Next time I will come with my own products to be on the safe side. ( I might be doing the most but so what)! She clipped my ends to my satisfaction ( they were clipped) not chopped. This is a real Dominican salon with majority Spanish speakers so there is somewhat of a language barrier, they have English speaking front desk staff but I'm not sure if they speak Spanish. The staff here was good overall I feel that they do good work and have good service. I think the shop is cute and I was quoted a price of $70 for the blow out, clip and flat iron. At the time of check out I paid $80. This was confusing but nothing to extreme for me. so come with additional funds or confirm the pricing up front. The wait time was not long at all, I will be a returning customer.
