I just watched my cousin chop off all her hair bc a woman here crocheted her hair but when she went in to have them taken out she only took out the sides!! Well my cousin is NOT a hair person but she can make do so she washed it and her hair locked around the the crochet part!! It was horrible!! She had hair to her shoulders but wanted something maintenance free and now she got maintenance free for real rocking her high top fade!!!! read more

Please check google reviews. Service is terrible, there is no accommodation for their wrong doings. The environment is not welcoming as they speak poorly about you in their native language, google translate is spot on. The braids were not good. 0/10 bring your money elsewhere, please please save yourself a terrible experience that will likely happen. read more

Had me waiting on someone to do two braids then when the person comes they still want me to wait . After I called sooo no mam I'll pass

these hoodrat africans are the worst in town. i went into this shop looking for someone to do a knotless bob for me. first let me add i made an appt for 2:30. the little light skin fat girl who looks like she is slowwwwww approaches me.. i explained what i want and showed the pic i found online. she was honest, she said she couldn't do it. i walked over to fatima...showed her the picture and ask who can do it. she said the same girl who told me she couldn't.... actually can she didn't understand me bc she doesn't speak english. so she took her time and started on my hair around 3:30. she was about to start on another womans hair who came in 15 mins after i did. i had to bring that to fatima's attention. long story short. they did not!!! do my hair like i asked. my bob was midway down my back. they took multiple breaks on my head. i literally lost 2 hrs in break time. only one person was on my head while some had two ppl. this slow looking girl talking playing with and changing babies diapers. these african hoodrats walking around with sleeping babies wrapped on their back's while working. couldn't lay the spoiling hollaring babies down bc they think they are still in africa. this shop is the upmost ghetto african mess i have ever seen. fatima had the nerve to ask me for over $200.00 before my hair was complete bc she said she was ready to go. i told her i was ready a couple of hours ago... but i was treated like my business wasn't important so i made the stinking witch wait awhile. she finally left. they dont give you a mirror to see the back of your hair. after i paid and left. when i got home i realized that one side of the back was incomplete. the slow girl did not add enough hair to one side of my head so the back looks totally crazy. full on one side and flat on the other. i spent two days doing what i paid them to do. i cut my hair into a bob and burned the ends. it's okay i just learned something about ms. fatima that will cost her, ppl never know who is sitting in their chair. i didn't leave until after 10p. i forgot to mention the girl who fatima said doesn't speak english was speaking english all night!!!! read more

Terrible service went there they gap my braids over charged had my own hair asked to re do front only said oh it's your hair don't recommend at all not good service terrible read more

This braiding salon came highly recommended but after scheduling an appointment in advance I was very disappointed that the braider never showed up. The owner assured me the braider would be there in 15 minutes but after waiting over an hour it was apparent that no one was coming. i understand things happen just wished people had more appreciation for others time. read more

I brought my daughter to have her hair braided (two rows of cornrows w/ the ends twisted. I was told that it would take approximately 2-2.5 hrs to complete the style. I went next door to get an manicure and pedicure while I waited for my daughter. When I returned 1.5 hrs later, another person was doing her hair. It had been over two hours and she was only about half way through it. It ended up taking over 4 hours for corn rows. (I have been to this salon before and she had a similar style that took 2 hours.) When I went to pay the owner changed the price. She said that she didn't realize that the style we requested was twisted instead of braided at the ends. Please not that the picture I selected was out of a photo album with their customers that they had taken pictures of. When I spoke to my daughter she said she watch a tv show (30mins) without anyone touching her. And that they took several breaks during the time that I was next door. I paid the extra $10 (It wasn't worth the argument) and decided to leave a glowing review to warn future customers. There are braiding salons on every corner. Save yourself some time and frustration and try another. read more

Hey my name is jaychelle my hair is in a mini Afro and I wanted to get my done at the African hair braiding salon what I want is the senegelese twist the color will be brungundy and brown I think it would look good on me I never been there before but i'm sure they are good at what they do read more

Fatimah is the best African hair stylist I have ever been to. I got corn rows in less than two hours. The braids do not hurt and she kept my edges in tact. Skip glenwood and come straight here!! read more

They do very nice braids. But they are filthy! Do not go to this salon if you care about cleanliness!

I wouldn't recommend this place at all. The price changed three different times. Once because she said my hair was taking longer than expected. However she acted as if she knew how to do the style I requested but didn't. She called someone in to do it for her. It took them about an hour to even get started. The second change was because she gave me the wrong length and wanted to change the price. All of said reasons for the increase had nothing to do with me. I was so disappointed in the service that I created a yelp just to warn others. read more

I got a poorly completed sew-in and complained to the owner less than a week later, and she tried to charge me full price to get the sew-in fixed. I told her that I was within her seven day time period and I'm talking to the owner which is also stated in their policy. The sew-in was nothing like the picture, and I was told that the woman that did my sew-in was out of town and they didn't know when she'd be back. The is loud, obnoxious, dirty, and my hairstylist talked on the phone constantly. I just wanted the sew-in fixed and agreed to pay extra, but full price for a sew-in that was never right to start with is ridiculous. The owner was rude and her African buddies jumped in on the conversation when the policy clearly states talk to Fatima if there are any issues. I was either going to lose my religion up in there or run up my blood pressure. Never again! read more

I just got micros done at Fatima's today. Because my normal stylist was booked up at the shop I always go to. The braids are neat and pretty BUT my head hurts sooooooo bad. They are extremely tight and I can barely touch my head or lay down. I always get my hair braided but this the first time I have been in this much pain. Never again. read more

Worst hair braiding experience ever ! The girl with the bumps on her face was disgustingly rude they are not peaceful at all if they give you a discount they won't stop mentioning it .. the hair is well though I like it .. But never again at Fatima's read more

The worst service in the world. The owner is the most unprofessional everybody in the shop is talking the entire time they're doing your hair no form of customer service loud and obnoxious haggle with you over priced in front of the whole shop had to pay when the owner was leaving instead of her staying until my service was done to know if I was happy will never go here again waste of money read more

They got the job done quickly and the actual braids look good. I feel like it was a bit rushed because the sections in the back look terrible and I feel like a bit more care should have went into it for the price. They do a good job... but I probably won't go back. read more

The shop is BEYOND FILTHY. There is trash, food, roaches, hair etc on the floor. I had two people working on my hair in the beginning, but one of the workers stopped working several times due to her child crying...eventually she stopped doing my hair altogether and instead sat down and played on her tablet. The bathroom is disgusting (no tissue, no soap, water leaking, and a foul smell). Also, they do not wash their supplies. They will use the same comb that they used on you on somebody else. I had to ask the worker to open a new pack of combs before she started doing my hair. The main thing that made me furious was the worker dropped some of the braiding hair, stepped on it and then wanted to use it to braid my hair. I can continue with how unpleasant this shop is but I think i made my point. DO NOT COME HERE TO GET YOUR HAIR DONE!!!! read more

They are a rip off!!!! I came in for micro and got box braids in the middle and back of my head. I paid for micros 170.00 and that isn't what I got. They act like you are bothering them if you ask for a style they don't want to braid. I suggest that you find another braid shop to braid your hair. There are to many braid shops in atlanta to put up with bad service!! read more

they did a great job on my hair. but it took forever. I got there at 230 said it will only take 4 hours, didn't leave til 920pm. also they do way too much talking and other nonsense. I had to tell them more than once to concentrate on my hair read more

Worse black owned business in Stone Mountain! I was told to be there at 8:30am with my two girls. I get there and EVERY chair is full. I'm thinking, well I set an appointment! Why am I waiting?! I wait for 30 minutes and decide this isn't worth it. We have things to do by 1pm today and I was told we would be out by 12-12:30pm, now all the chairs are full?! Ok well that's not the worse part. I get the girls and walk out, saying nothing. The owners daughter runs outside and I explain to her that I had an appointment at 8:30am. However it looks like it's overbooked and first come, first serve so appointments are irrelevant. I also advised her that I was told Fatima (the owner) would be branding my daughters hair. She lies and says, she just came in through the back. You just didn't see her. So I go back in, there is NO Fatima! So where is she if she came through the back? Keep in mind, there is no back door there. Not that I saw. Anyways, she takes the oldest girl and asks, "How much did she say for her hair?" I said she didn't give me a price. She told me $70 for the 5 year old and that she would give me a deal and good price for the 11 year old. Her daughter says, $120. I'm floored! I said, "To have her hair braided into a ponytail, it's $120?!" She responds, "Oh no, her hair is too short to braid into a ponytail." BULL-ISH! Her hair is NOT short. She just wanted me to get individual braids and charge me over $100 for them. If u cannot grip hair that is at least 4-6 inches IN THE BACK, u definitely should not pride yourself in being an "African Braider". I politely get my kids and tell her no thank u, I'll take them back to my side of town which is majority white and has professional women of color. She says, "Well go back to the white folks! We don't need u here!" Well ma'am, I sure will because this shit here is ridiculous! At least when I make an appointment, the stylist is working with ME, not 8 other people! Needless to say, I left very pissed. I call the owner Fatima and explain how her daughter acted and how unprofessional she was. She apologizes and begs me to give her 20 minutes to get there and she would call me and she would personally do their hair. I said, u told me that u would be the braider in the first place. Now your daughter is telling me that u don't even braid! She goes on to explain this is not true. I'm very understanding and believe in second chances. So I take the girls for breakfast and we wait. And we wait.....and wait.....I call, no answer! We come home and I text her. No reply! I finally get in touch with her again almost THREE HOURS LATER! She apologies again and says she FORGOT TO CALL ME BACK!!! Wow!!! Really?! Forgot?! But we had an appointment!!! WITH YOU!!!! Not someone else. She tells me to come on in. I told her I'm only 5 minutes away. Something told me to ask her was she going to start immediately once we arrived. She tells me, "Well, I'm doing someone's head right now so u will have to wait for a couple hours. After this head. I will do tour girls hair." It took EVERYTHING in my body not to curse her out, go to the shop, and show out! I had to explain to this woman, I'm NOT some ghetto hoodrat selling EBT to get my hair done. I have a career, along with 4 degrees, and this is not something I'm use to! Professionalism is very important! I will NEVER contact these people again. I would rather shave my head bald before I even attempted to have them braid my hair! If I could give NO STARS, I certainly would. Avoid the headache I have now and just say NO!!!!! read more
