I can not recommend Yvonne. She's not a good braider and pulled my daughter's hair. Braiding hair is not pulling until the scalp is red, sore and irritated. She was not professional and truly not honest about her experience and training. I was so disappointed with her work. She's not a good braider but told me she's been braiding 20 years. This was an awful experience. When a stylist is working with children it's necessary to be kind and patient. I'm sorry this did not work. We wanted someone closer to home. read more

I was trying to get my hair done, I had some questions and changed my mind on the style. But she ignored 4 messsges of mine in a row. She honestly wasted my time, then I reached out to a local salon and they were able to spend 2 minutes with me to answer my questions and have me become a long term client of theirs. She's just doing herself wrong. Bummer. read more

I previously wrote a review to warn others not to go to Yvonne/ Heaven whatever her name is. The public should know she is a crook because she charged me to CROCHETED LOC extensions but in order to GET OVER and SAVE time, I learned AFTER the job was done, this crazy b$^$&$ put CRAZY GLUE ON MY LOCS instead of crocheting them!!! Do yourself a favor and RUN !! If you see this person's advertisement! read more

Beautiful extensions. I bring my daughter regularly. Yvonne is artistic, talented, and fast! I'm always impressed and wouldn't go anywhere else for braids. We feel lucky to have found her. read more

Yvonne is a very nice woman and a talented stylist. I feel like people from the Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados and those areas always have a special talent when it comes to doing hair. She was extremely responsive when I inquired about her services and walked me through the process of what she, in her professional opinion, thought was best for my hair. Her ability to fit me into her schedule last minute was amazing as was her response time. Most hairstylists take forever to get back to you and would not be able to fit you in last minute AND provide quality professional service with grade A hospitality. I am extremely grateful and appreciative for that Yvonne. She understood my reluctance towards certain things and I also understood her professional point of view as an experienced hair stylist so I took her advice when she recommended certain things. Overall I had a great experience at Yvonne's and she even put a nice little family friendly cartoon on while she did my hair and also gave me a free complimentary du-rag at the end with precise instructions as to how to keep my hair style protected and how to promote hair growth. Her price is well worth it considering her response time, ability to fit you into her schedule short notice and her skill set and expertise. Also the welcoming hospitality and friendly demeanor. I had a great experience and if I know anyone who needs a stylist in this area I will recommend them to Heavenly Braids by Yvonne! Thank you again ! read more

Question for Breann D? How much additional work did Yvonne have to do? Typically quoted prices are based on what a client shares the condition of their hair is in as well as the service in itself. When additional charge is incurred then likely you weren't very honest about how much work she had to do. I know Yvonne to be fair and not one to hike up the price after a quote. As a client I think we have to be honest about our service needs and what the stylist work will entail to accomplish that want. I highly recommend Yvonne as a stylist who does a beautiful job and is not unethical in business. read more

Yvonne is the best! I'm a first timer with her and she killed it. My burning man hair is ready to go and I love it. She has magical hands. So sweet and nice. You can tell she loves her clients and provides great service. The vibe was chill and lots of good energy. I will definitely be coming back and sending recommendations. read more

Yvonne is the best! She is sweet and welcoming, and her work is impeccable! She did my hair for a music festival, and I got so many compliments. Book your appointment! read more

Yvonne is an angel, you'll see when you meet her! She was so warm and welcoming. I was going to do all black in color, but she suggested to blend a lighter brown color in to lighten up around the face and she was so right about it! Glad I took her advice on the color, and size of the box braids. I love the way it looks. I had many braids done in the past, but she was by far the fastest braider. It also feels so light like it's my own hair! It would be fair to also mention, that her service is definitely on the higher end, equal to getting it done at a salon. But I think it's worth it, considering how comfortable it's been feeling and how beautiful of a job she's done. She put on a great movie for me so time passed really fast as well! Coming back again! read more

It's cute but when I called to inquire about how much 4 braids would be she said it started at 85, when I got there she did my hair and she then told me I owe her $250 dollars. I looked at my hair and I looked at her and I said are you serious? For what? The hair cost 5 bucks or less per pack, i just had my hair braided recently by someone else who had a professional setting inside a salon suite and washed my hair and braided two regular braids with hair added and she charged me 60 bucks. This place is a rip off and in all honesty she did an ok job, some of my hair is still very frizzy and people are saying "dip those braids!" She did dip them but ......anyways there's much more affordable great braiders out there. Take your pick. read more

Has Great service, my hair looks great. This was my first time here, but i will definitely come back

For any men looking for someone to braid this lady is the best No cap!! Worth every penny and her professionalism is great.

I've gone to Yvonne for knotless box braids 5 times over the last year. She's talented, and I'd give 5 stars for quality. However, I had to lower the score because of price/pricing and inability to wash hair. Ultimately, the experience and quality was good enough that I continued to go back, but I would recommend getting clarity on the exact total cost before starting. Pros: Speed- Her speed is impressive! She is nearly twice as fast as most braiders. Medium sized braids take about 2 hours. Small (this is the standard box braid size) take about 3.5 houts. Quality- in the past when I've gotten braids my scalp hurts for hours afterwards. Yvonne's braids are pain free and her products help with scalp health. The braids don't unravel, but need to be re-done after about 5-6 weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows. Experience- Yvonne is professional and friendly. Her space is clean, she almost always starts right on time and can make appointments with relatively short notice. There's a large tv and she always puts on some fun Netflix movies or shows. Cons: Price- Yvonne will not quote a price over the phone, or will say "$150 and up" when people ask. For braids, the pricing is from $250- more than $1,000. Specifically, one large thick braid is $250 (one big braid ponytail) or "Large" braids that are 1.5 inches thick each. For Large knotless braids the price is $350+. Medium braids (about 3/4 inch thick) are $475 for knotless, $350 for knotted). Small braids (these are the standard individual box braids size that would be considered medium anywhere else- think Brandy in the 90s) are $775 for knotless . For micro-braids the cost is $975 and up for knotless. Price moves well over $1,100 as the braids get even smaller. The above prices don't necessarily include the hair or take-down of braids. Those prices were not listed or mentioned until I questioned the total charge a few times. Then, she said that the price for braids take-down is $150 (this does not include washing or drying the hair). She has also mentioned $10/bundle charge for hair. For Medium braids that would be about $70 additional. Also a $4 charge to pay with credit card. However, these prices were not written down and were not always charged. Price Inconsistencies- I never paid the same amount every time I went. The first time I went I got standard "small" knotless box braids and was charged $775 flat (no extra charge for hair); the second time, she took down the previous braids then she put in larger ("Medium") braids and charged $520. I got the exact same thing done the next two times and was charged $545 once and $535 the other time. The last (and final) time I did not have braids in when I went (so no need for a take down) and she still wanted to charge $545. When I questioned the pricing she stated I was given a discount each time, because she wasn't charging me for take down or for the full price for the hair. None of those prices were posted or discussed, so it was hard to understand how I was being charged more than the posted price and was actually getting a "deal". Not a salon- I don't mind having my hair done out of an apartment, but the inability to have my hair washed there was not ideal. After my braids were taken down, I'd drive home to wash and dry my hair before returning for the install. Also, usually the pricing is lower when not in a salon because of the lack of overhead. Lastly, I found it strange that I had to fill out a detailed sheet every single time I went (name, address, birthday, email address, etc.) even though I was a repeat customer. read more

It's been a while that I have been going to Yvonne to get my dreds tightened up. She is a true professional! Every time I call she makes time for me. Her work is exquisite. I am seriously happy with her work & I will continue to go to her. Thank you Yvonne! read more

Yvonne is wonderful at what she does. She has very soft magical hands. My first time having her braid my hair. She is very attentive and listens. She will even offer her suggestions but she does not force you into a certain style and performs what you want. I found her to be very pleasant and comforting. I got straight back Men's Cornrows and she did a wonderful job. She is masterful at her craft. My braids were not too tight and looked great. I thought the price was reasonable for the excellent work she performed. I will be back. read more

Thank you to Yvonne we came to a resolution that we both thought was fair. My review came from strictly being unaware of the location of the salon. not really the skill set of the stylist which is not a deterring factor if you don't mind and you're looking for a great stylist, We did come to an agreement and she did a good job and was attentive, she was informative at the day of service and also know how to go around special requests. Thank you for being gracious and working with us to come to an understanding. I wish I kept reading some of the other 1-2 stars. I hate to give Heavenly a less than stellar review but Everything I expected from this first time visit was very disappointing. I contacted her about setting up a Loc rework for my boss and He was not happy with the experience. I wasn't told that this stylist worked out of her living room and that it wasn't a salon I would of NEVER sent my CEO (a very particular man who wanted a salon pampering experience) to see her. I even called and debrief her about his wants and needs and she quoted me $300 for a loc interlock maintenance in which he told me she did NOT end up doing, bc she didn't have experience in, but She told me over the phone that she is highly skilled in all LOC styles. I'm very embarrassed by his story when he told me that he had to sit and wash his hair in her sink.. and at the end paid a $500+ invoice which he didn't mind paying but he really thought it would be in a nice salon just so he's more comfortable. And with his many years of having Locs he did say this was the MOST he was asked to pay (and he didn't feel like it was worth the HIGH amount if it was in her living room and not in a high end Salon, Which normally is expected for $500+, I really wish she would of been honest and told me so I could prepare for him to know it was her apartment. He paid this time but he did feel a little played with and we will not return to this service. I'm highly embarrassed for not vetting well enough BUT SHE Should of made it more clear that this wasn't a PROFESSIONAL salon experience. I wish we can get a refund but we will take it as a lesson learned experience and check for another stylist. Please if you charge such high prices please look into renting a chair at one of those salon Suites or a chair and any salon instead of subjecting real clients to a unsafe neighborhood without Security or cameras. Which goes for your safety and the safety of future clients. read more

I am not sure how no one has this in their review.. but.. to be clear- this is NOT a salon. This is her living room in a shady Van Nuys neighborhood. She braids neat but she charges a premium to the point where it's excessive.... And I never complain about money but $500 for box braids is just mean. I went in to see her, seems like a nice polite human. But she overcharged me and booked her next appointment close to mine so she did not trim the box braids becuz she was rushing so they were frizzy AF and got loose pretty quick. For 1/2 of a thousand dollars, I would expect better quality. She said she doesn't trim becuz she doesn't want to cut my hair.. so imagine straight box braids and you can see my curly coily hair poking out. Can see where my hair ends. And you can see where other pieces of hair stops. Just a tiny trim would solve for that. Just because there aren't a lot of options in the Valley, she chooses to rob you. It's not cool; especially considering all of the Jesus pictures and crosses in her home. No conscience. read more
