    Braids
    Kimberly P.

    We stopped here on a Friday in July hoping to get braids for my daughter. We were greeted kindly and told we could wait while she got them braided. It cost $20 for two French braids. The operator did a nice job though she did put quite a bit of cream on my daughter's hair leaving some chunks behind on her hairline. All in all it was a decent price for a pretty cute hairdo. The braids fell out a few days later but we will probably be back when we need it up for soccer season or travel or other reasons.

    Came here to get my hair braided for gymnastics. Solonge was so nice she took me right away as a walk-in. Day two and the braid till looks amazing! This place is for all hair types and is very affordable. I will be back next week to have my hair braided again. It holds so well for my work outs! Love it. Thank you

    i came in as a walk-in asking for medium knotless braids with triangle parts ( i wasn't too pressed on the parts though, was just hoping for them ) i arrived , picked my hair and solange started immediately i have extremely thick hair so there were 2 ladies working on me & i was finished in less than 4 hours extremely impressed & i have no complaints

    Ladies Do Go Elsewhere. Wish I had read all the one-star reviews here first. I have been here once before - just to get braids removed because when I see women leaving this shop their hair looks atrocious. Like, breathtakingly so. Like. Damn you PAID for that? But don't take my word for it - read the other reviews. These women are talentless. But I digress. First they are also unprofessional. Wear shoes and deodorant. You're servicing Americans. These should be standard. Don't claim you don't speak English then repeat clients' questions verbatim in French to each other. Then pretend you didn't understand it the first time. Not every American is ignorant. Don't quote one price then insist on another. The price should NOT change each time a client comes to your shop based who's working that day. That's not how you do business. Inform customers of the rules first. Be consistent. Second, I'm a customer getting my hair done in your HAIR SALON - not on your couch at home. Letting a client leave with filthy hair is unconscionable. It should NOT cost extra to shampoo your clients' hair - and even if it does tell them BEFORE you finish removing braids or build the cost of a shampoo into the price. Washing hair in a hair salon is NORMAL. Not doing so is abnormal. I'm sure the licensing board would find that curious. You're in the mall for Pete's sake - not in your living room doing hair. Third, sometimes Haka can't take credit cards, sometimes they insist on cash (your machine can't always be broken - we know it costs more for you to process credit card payments and you don't want the added costs - people aren't stupid). But you might be - taking payment without providing a receipt?? I'm sure thats an IRS tax audit waiting to happen ... Lastly, this is a hair braiding salon and you don't provide hair? Do you know how many of your competitors in actual professional hair salons do? MOST of them do by buying hair In bulk and build it into the price of the service. When I get an oil change they don't ask me to bring the oil. When I get a hair cut for my child they don't ask me to bring the clippers. Really?? Going here is a waste of money - and time. Try Musa Braids or Rallys in Md or any of the dozens and dozens of places. You've been warned.

    Stephanie is truly talented. You can trust her with not only alternative hair aspirations but also…read morewith your neurodivergent teens. She's a gem! The Story: In my daughter's 7th grade year, we were shopping at Zumiez in a Fairfax Mall when she saw an employee with very cool hair and we asked where she'd had it done. My then 13 yr. old was desperate to explore an alternative style, specifically a "split dye" and the hairstylists we'd sought in the Fairfax area were either uninformed or faking their knowledge/interest. Thank god for that precious random mall worker in 2021! I could kiss her cheek! Because she name-dropped Stephanie at Babe Cave in Manassas. And guess what? Stephanie is an artist! It was especially important to our family at the time because my daughter had been hit by a car only a few months before. Months of awful. The new hair was the most healing reset for my kiddo. After that, obstacles like life, time, and just driving to Manassas for a hair appointment got in the way sometimes, but we've made it work bi-annually for about five years. Nobody cuts and colors like Stephanie! It's beautiful to watch.

    Babe Cave is a jewel tucked away in Ambassador Square (across from Lowe's) . I started coming here…read moreafter one evening, exhausted from my newborn, I looked in the mirror and said, "I look old." Babe Cave fixed me right up and with new hair came new confidence. I see Stephanie who does great work with my highlights. She is also experienced in cutting curly hair, which is critical for me. My hair is very curly/frizzy, but fine (not a lot of it), and can quickly get weighed down to being a Christmas tree shape. She takes her time to cut, ask my thoughts, and adjust if I ask. Everything is SUPER clean and comfortable. After cutting my own hair for 15+ years and some bad cuts from others, I am glad to have found Babe Cave and strongly recommend it to others!
