They are all extremely talented and skilled at various braid styles and are thoughtful about recommending styles and hair care that benefit you. Jazz has been my braid stylist for the past 2 years and she has given me the most polished knotless braids. She has a gentle touch and kind demeanor, and works very efficiently without pulling or damaging your hair. When I get compliments on my braids, I'm always proud to tell people I owe it all to Jazz and The Braid Bar. The salon spaces at the DTLA location are clean and roomy, and have a nice amount of sunlight so you don't feel like you're stuck in a dark room all day. The chairs are pretty comfy and even allow me to use my computer lapdesk (for those times when I have to work during my braid appt). They have a TV with all the streamers or good music going to keep the vibes high. Their prices are fair and competitive and I appreciate that they only ask for a minimal deposit and not the bulk of your fee up front. Seriously, you won't regret getting your braids done at The Braid Bar.

It was set up a month in advance and the morning of the appt, the braider did not respond to my text msgs and phone calls. I almost panicked, but then I quickly started looking for someone who could take me THAT DAY. Grace with TABLA was the 3rd braider I contacted. She quickly responded to my text, requesting pics of my hair and what I wanted done. We then chatted for a few, and the appt was set. We connected within the hour and she started on my hair. She is super sweet and super fast. She did my style in 6.5 hours, and I am so very pleased with the results. As long as Grace is in the LA area, she will be my go-to braider. THANK YOU and BIG BLESSINGS ON YOU!!

Can't go wrong when she is mobile and comes to you!

Very disappointed in my hair and my experience at Jolie Beauty...I booked bra-length knotless but…read morethe braids barely reach that. The braids were also much skinnier than the parts which makes the style look unbalanced and majority of the ends weren't even braided fully, leaving some of my natural hair visibly sticking out (image attached). For a $555 service I expected more, especially considering the quality of work shown on their social media pages. Unfortunately, what I received doesn't reflect the standard of work that initially drew me to book. I challenge anyone to look at the attached images and tell me this looks like a nearly $600 hairstyle. When I voiced this in a text I sent to her after my bad experience all I received was a text back that said "Thank you for the feedback"... There are much better Braiders in LA with much better customer service. I recommend spending your money elsewhere.

It is with a sorrowful heart that find myself in a position whereby it is necessary to severely…read moredowngrade a rating for a business which I initially gave rave reviews. It is without question that my crocheted hair styles fashioned by Bernadette R., first while at Twist and Go in Laurel, and later at Bee Natural Haircare, also located in Laurel in the shopping center near Chuck E Cheese were always very attractive and too, I enjoyed working with Bernadette and trusted her recommendation to go to crocheted hair styles as a protective style for my thinning, fragile hair. So, naturally when Ms. Granger, decided to branch out and open her own shop in the nearby vicinity, It was a given that I would move with her-especially as my hair looked beautiful when Ieft her shop... even if I had to return (sometimes she came to my home) to correct a situation or to address an issue with which I was not satisfied. I remained a loyal client despite an increase in the cost of $25-$35 in addition to me purchasing the hair. No problem because I understood that Bernadette was now responsible for all of the bills herself. So, about every 6-7 weeks I would faithfully schedule my appointment with Bernadette Ranger at Bee Natural Haircare. Because of the frailty of my hair I became concerned that the weight of the crocheted hair might be creating additional stress on my hair and began to do some research. What I discovered was a method which was recommended for hair care professionals to use for their clients who were dealing with such issues as alopecia. This procedure involved the hair being attached to a crochet wig cap as opposed to being attached directly to the hair itself and could even be used in cases whereby there was significant hair loss. I was so excited that I approached Bernadette about it and inquired as to whether she was familiar with it. Although she acknowledged that she had not worked with this particular process, she embraced the idea fully and was open to viewing the tutorials which I located and forwarded to her. Shortly afterwards I secured the wig caps along with the hair and we began that journey. For the most part, I was satisfied with the process and the results in terms of what it looked like or physical appearance. I had not seen my hair outside of what it looked like after an install until about six weeks ago when I decided to go with a human hair wig unit and to stop crocheting my hair. I came to this decision after realizing that the primary reason I had gone to the crochet route was because I was reluctant to the idea of wearing a wig. However, when I considered it, I had actually been doing that the whole time. And so, I chose to make a budget conscious decision to stop crocheting and made Bernadette aware of my decision. After purchasing and receiving my units I carefully removed crochet hair from my last install and used my Denman 30 brush which is designed especially for natural hair. When I brushed my hair, I was shocked!!! Totally and absolutely SHOCKED!!! Although I anticipated some hair loss after a year with crochet hair and not really having an opportunity to wash and condition my own hair, I was in total shock at the amount of hair that was in my brush. I mean my brush was totally covered with my hair. What was supposed to have been a protective style wound up being absolutely devastating and detrimental to my hair. Now, please understand that while I do not fault Bernadette for t decline in my hair, I hold her accountable in her role as a hair care professional for failing to disclose to me over the course of one whole year what she was seeing each time she did a new install which again was every six to seven weeks. It is my belief that it was her fiduciary responsibility to have disclosed that information to me as a consumer and as her client which she purported to care so much about. Had she not been someone who stressed the fact that she was so concerned about one hair I would probably not feel as strongly as I do and been as disappointed as I was and as I still AM. But what's even more disturbing is that when I contacted Bernadette Ranger to voice my concerns and to express my disappointment, I was met with justification. I expressed to Bernadette that all I was seeking was an acknowledgement and an apology. I also made it saliently clear that I was not holding her responsible for the fact that my hair had deteriorated but rather for the fact that she had withheld that information from me as my hair care professional. After all she was seeing what I had not been able to see in a year's time. Therefore, I contend that she should have at least expressed to me or informed me that perhaps this method of a protective styling may not have been the best option for me after all. We all make mistakes. It's only human and that is both understandable and forgivable. What is not forgivable is one's inability or refusal to take responsibility for their actions or inactions in this cas
