Givens has been my go to hair braiding spot. I noticed prices have increased some, for example, more than one color is now an additional $10 per color. I had 2 colors so that's $20 extra to the $220 medium knotless. Always check the length of the braids since you pay based on the length. In all, I like the service I receive but plan to start looking at less expensive salons. Pricing for Boho braids has gotten outta control. However, I like the results read more

The hair braiding was mediocre.. and sitting through the process while everyone in the shop spoke French was very uncomfortable for me! Monica appeared to be rude initially.. like no introduction of yourself before placing your hands in someone's head. Be real... poor experience and will not return to this location read more

Yeah... NEVERRRRRR visiting this shop again!!! My appointment was scheduled for 5 pm and no one started on my hair until 6 PM. Two people did my hair in which the first person took a 30 minute break and was slowly moving around in between hair prep and yes that's after an hour delay in starting in my hair. She also blasted her phone quite loudly which annoyed other patrons as well. A second person and much slower person finished the job after another 25-30 minute wait in between the two. 3 different bags and brands of hair later, my hair is done although I now have no idea how old or raggedy some of the hair they scrapped up to find and throw in my hair is. If you did not have enough bags in the same brand to finish my hair, then you should've told me to pick a different color! This is also the longest it's ever taken for me to get any twists and there were people in the shop with long boho braids that were in and out before me. The second person that did my hair also has a different method of twisting which is visible from the start of my twists. Oh, and how about the twists in the back are LARGER than the ones in the front. A 4.5 hour appointment that turned into 7 and my hair is messed up. So much for giving the African braiding shops a chance again! read more

Absolutely terrible experience. The braiders who did my hair were completely unprofessional--talking nonstop, stopping mid-braid to watch YouTube, and even walking away without saying a word. I was supposed to have two braiders, but I had one for most of the day while everyone else who came after me had two. The first three hours were spent with them chatting with people walking in or on their phones. When I did have two braider the spent the entire time talking over my head in a different language I arrived at 7:15 AM and they weren't finished until after 3pm. The shop manager/ payment collector was dismissive and rude. I had to request my 2nd braider back 3 times before one was provided. My appointment was booked over 2 weeks in advance. The braids are quality , but the service is a -10. Definitely not quick, definitely not worth the price, and definitely not somewhere I'll ever return. Terrible experience overall. I recommend finding another braid shop in the city, there are plenty of options. read more

I will definitely go back BUT I will be sure to ask that they not braid too tight, especially in the front. However, I love the aesthetic of the shop. They were welcoming and I had two ladies braiding my hair. They got me in and out. I love that parking is free also. read more

Two ladies per client. They did a good job and reasonable priced. I would recommend this hair salon

they did TERRIBLE on me and my mom hair i swear.. you a african hair studio but can't do hair?

The braiders I've had were quick, friendly, did not braid too tight. The salon is nice and big and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I've received services from them a total of 5 times now. I will be back. I've had the knotless boho with human hair, tree braids, regular knotless. read more

Made an appointment a week ago, because I saw a young lady with a nice style. Booked an appointment got to the shop at 8am no hair to do the style I requested! Boho knotless...... read more

They do hair great, it looks good. But they are more than inconsiderate of your time. and will try to charge you more for each little thing, and honestly they are rude. I wait like 1 hr and a half before they started, they told me it would be immediately. There is absolutely no point in going to an African Braiding shop when they do not even work on your head the whole time. One girl started, then stopped, took lunch, another sat beside me and separated the braiding hair, then the girl comes back talks to her friends, does someone else's hair and then begins on mine, they tag them, then one stops and starts someone else's head that just came in and this person ends up leaving before me. Then I am down to three rows and my braider says goodnight and leaves. I wait for another hour for someone to start on my hair again and she takes a hr and a half to finish THREE rows. The hair looks great, but it took them forever because they were inconsistent and inconsiderate. It was a waste of time. read more

Please do not book with this salon. The ladies are highly unprofessional and completely rude. I booked an appointment with them a month in advance which said hair included. I get there for my app where they inform me that they don't have the hair color I want. I pivot; the main lady of the shop gets an attitude with me because she started regular knotless braids even though I said and BOOKED boho knotless. She then proceeds to persuade me to buy human hair for my hairstyle after I asked for it to be done with synthetic! I had high hopes for this salon but I've had a friend tell me it wasn't clean when she went to get her braids and that should been my red flag to reconsider. Do not waste your money here. read more

Nice place a clean Environment. The space was intriguing when I saw it on tik tok and it didn't disappoint. I went to get cornrows and they did a perfect job. read more

Rebecca and her team are extremely talented and incredible at what they do! I got bohemian braids and would definitely recommend!

Today was my first time to this shop. It was very clean and I spacious, Parking is great! And love my braids the style I wanted she did it. And my head isn't in pain. Will definitely come back. read more

My braids were uneven which really pissed me off considering how expensive it is. I went on a Friday night and the manager was not there. It is different when she is absent. read more

I have had nothing but a good experience. The owner is always pleasant and i leave satisfied. The environment is clean and warm.

Both my experiences were wonderful. I've done knotless braids both times and they have turned out perfect!! Salon is great! Very clean and able to work while I get my braids done. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

It was my first time coming here and I wasn't disappointed whatsoever! I got small knotless braids for the first time and they came out incredibly neat. The workers were efficient and at one point I had three people at once working on my hair. The area is nice and I felt comfortable throughout my entire experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to quickly get their hair braided, as they are also flexible with walk-ins and appointments, considering that I called them the day of to come get my hair braided in just a few hours. read more

Best tree braids by far! Great staff, fast service, and the best prices you can find for the quality of braids.

Great experience.. I was able to sit in a private area for my service.. Great atmosphere

I've been trying to get my hair braided there for the longest. They never texted me back

I was pleased with the outcome of my visit and the finished product. I didn't have any pain from my braids either. I was satisfied with the finished product. read more
