Jamela Hair Braiding - Hair Salons Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I have been here a few times, and each time the experience is worst than the last, so I only go if its my last resort- however this is the last time i would be coming here. I called and made an appt for a micro touch up, and spoke to a Nora. She gave me a price and told her i would be by. I came by, they sat me down, then 3 ladies started talking and then arguing in their language over my hair like they never braided hair before. Finally one of them tells me there is no one to do my hair right now, to come back tomorrow. I was astonished, since i drove from Alpharetta to make a Sun@ 2:30 appt so that i would be ready for work the next day. Not to mention 2 of the braiders who was talking about my hair went back to sitting on the sofa. I got up...didn't say anything to them, got in my car and drove a block to another hair braiding shop that just opened called in styles and the lady charged me $30.00 less then i would have been charged at Jemelas. It was done in 2 hours and it looked aamazing. Here is the truth: 20 years ago, when Jemela was running her shop, i used to come by because she was involved. Now, she lets 3 or 4 rude obnoxious and patronizing African women take over and so they treat the customers like shit, drive away good loyal customers who don't want to come back, and when you ask to speak or voice your complaint to Jemela, they state you can't reach her or shes not around.. These people are disrespectful, rude, and unprofessional - i will never show my face here. They don't like black women. It's an up and down attitude before they decide if they want to work with you before you can say a word, lol. I hope this resignates. I hope I saved at least one customer. God bless. P. read more

Unfortunately this experience was not a good one I did advise the lady that answered the phone that my was short-but you could mos def braid it. I have very soft curly textured hair. I've had it braided a trillion times (and while it was short) Get there (7:30 -just needed to be there on time & by the scheduled time)and no one is available for my 8:00 am appointment. The lady tells me it's too short and I probably can't get it done-but they have short hair braider. I wait, another lady says nah we can't. Ok so I leave out and the young lady says hey come on back we will do box braids. Get in there and take my seat. Lady still saying hair is too soft & short. Oh boy! She applies some slick grease (or gel) to my hair and the hair slides right out. I've never had this happen before. She started talking with the other lady basically saying she doesn't want to do it- it's too soft & short. I tell her, never mind. I'll skip it. She said come back in two weeks and maybe then. How about come back never! This was so humiliating & I've seen many people braid "shorter" hair. I have about an index & a half length and the back is probably pinky finger length. Literally wasted two hours. Please ask people respectfully of hair length or ask them to send you photos of their current hair state. I had no idea that this would be an issue. Do better please & don't just make it about money per se. I was hurt! No vibe read more

See all

Natalie purposely pulls edges extremely tight causing follicle damage. They are smelly musty women. They need to learn to bathe and apply deodorant before coming to work and understand that you don't have to pull hair out at the root to do braided styles. Stay on code for this boycott FBA! I am truly here for it! read more

If I give this place NO stars I would. They don't even deserve a 1 STAR! They are garbage! Very unprofessional! First time booking with them and I showed them the style I wanted and I got something completely different and still had to pay. Wasted $340 my head was so heavy I couldn't even wear them. My two daughters got their hair done I was quoted $170 per child for medium boho knotless they told they medium size is actually a small and I have to pay $240 per child. They make up they own sizes then charge you what they want. I asked for medium they gave me small and I showed the the reference photo and still had to pay for small. Biggest braid scammers EVER!! Terrible terrible service! Won't ever book here again!!!! read more

I try not to leave unpleasant reviews but I've experienced such horrible service it's disappointing when I attempted to support this shop. I had an appointment and I arrived and the stylist took another client in my slot and I arrived early. I had to wait three hours before I was serviced. Then today, I said let me try again and I called set an appointment and then when I arrived I was confronted that this person that was capable of doing the style I needed stated "I'm by myself and you'll have to come back". Why allow me to set up an appointment only to be turned away after I arrived. No apologies, nothing! So, needl to say, I'll never go back. I left a found a shop that set an appointment, I arrived and was serviced at the time she stated on the phone and I was in and out in 50 minutes and she was awesome and will become my NEW go to from now on. That's great customer service!! read more

I have been going to Jamilla Braiding Salon for 16 plus years and the ladies are AMAZING. I text Jamilla with questions and to make an appointment and she responds right back..Never had a complaint read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I went to this place to have my hair braided 3 days ago . My appointment was for the 19th at 8am which was fine. I brought my own hair for boho knotless. I came in with 100 grams (1bundle) of human hair . I was told that it was actually 2 bundles and would be extra 60 dollars. I saw at least 10 women walk in and have 1 bundle of bulk hair and wasn't charged the extra 60. The 2 ladies braiding my hair did such a poor job that here it is Wednesday and I am having the braids removed. You could see the short hair where they added the bulk hair. My braids were unraveling and they ran out of my 1 bundle and mixed some other cheap hair and it matted badly. I also only asked first bra strap length and when I got up the braids were past my bottom. Pls reconsider TikTok videos lol read more

My appointment was at 8 no one got here until 830 even though I was the first person here at 745 I was told that Maggie was the person doing my hair so everyone else got seated while I am still sitting here waiting on Maggie. I drive an hour and 15 minutes because they usually do a good job but not valuing my time is a big NO NO... This will be my last time coming here. read more

This was a reference from a friend. Marta and Fati did an incredible job of my hair!!! That's an understatement, it has been a while since I've had it done, so the outcome was Great!!! Get ready to take a vacation and this was definitely one thing to worry about. My braids were not to tight that I could not sleep, so that was a blessing. So for you too ladies I look forward to you doing my hair on my next visit. Oh, yes I will be returning. read more

was referred to this salon...but reflecting back to other braid shops i've been too, i didn't know what to really expect??!! i was pleasantly surprised at the professionalism and friendliness of jamela and her team - they work together like a well oiled machine!!! prices are reasonable and i am VERY much pleased with my hair and have been asked several times where did i go - of course...i HAD to tell read more

Don't bother making an appointment, they don't honor them. Called twice to confirm that I had a 7am appointment for small box braids on a Saturday. I got there early and at 7:20am the shop still hadn't opened. When it finally did open, people that arrived in the parking lot after me, literally ran through the door before me. When we got inside there were only 2 braiders present. As I talked to 6 ladies in the waiting area, we found that we all had a confirmed 7am appointment. I waited for 15 minutes, the third braider arrived, and said that my hair was too short for her to grip, but there is another braider on the way that could do my hair. She just said "next customer" and moved on, left me sitting there. I just removed a FULL sew in that was securely in place for 6 weeks, how was my hair too short? I just left after that, terrible customer service! Go at your own risk... read more

My stylist was 4 hours late and unprofessional. She did my twists very very badly. I had a doctors appointment that I almost missed because of her. I had to leave with my hair looking bad. Did not have enough time to fix it. I want my money back. Terrible service. They washed my hair and their towels were dirty and stinky. My hair smells bad! Never again. They also have roaches in the back. read more

Jamela's isn't horrible. It's a million notches more professional than a lot of places (minus the exhaustive French banter across the store and presumable talk of its clients). The ladies are all VERY nice with good customer service. However, I believe it's pricey (simple, box braids run at $170 and $40 for the take down - if same day). 125th Street in Harlem is a fraction of the price for both services, but I digress... Note: It's BYOConditioner The braiding here is a little tighter than I'm used to and sparser. Meaning I like voluminous, full braids. And don't expect to be asked what style you're getting; just tell them upfront to avoid weird miscommunication. I'll probably come back while I'm in town as the braids are pretty, but they aren't laying completely flat yet. Just got 'em yesterday read more

Jamela's Hair Braiding Salon is and has always been an enjoyable experience for me. This was my second time in eight months and I love the following aspects of the experience. 1) The place is clean and the atmosphere gives you an international experience. 2) Most of the beauticians speak French, but they will translate if you ask them what they said. You must be secure in who you are not take the cross talk personally. 3) I always show a picture of what I want and got exactly what I asked for each time. 4) You get what you pay for, I expect excellent service, braids that are beautiful, and last for three months or more and that is what I got. 5) I asked for a water and was blessed with it without having to pay for it. 6) Each lady doesn't mind helping the other to get you out in records time. I do and would recommend this shop to other friends and family. read more

I have came to this place for the last 10+ years and never had an issue. I decided to try the crochet faux locks for the first time. When I left the shop my headed was loaded down with too much hair. Then my hair was so tight that it tore out my edges causing me to have to take down my hair after only 2 weeks. To make matters worse when I called to inform the of my issue, I was told that there is nothing they can do since it has been 2 weeks. They have lost a loyal customer and any referral from me. Smh!! read more

I thought I would write this review since my experience was less than spectacular... I decided to visit Jamela's to get my hair braided this past weekend. I chose to get Kinky 2-Strand Twist and they ladies assured me I would be done in a matter of hours so I proceeded with the service. Before they started twisting my hair, I "tried" to explain to them exactly what I wanted. She proceeded to do the Kinky Twist the way she WANTED despite my clear description. I continued on with the service despite my better judgement. By the time my hair was complete, I had approximately 5 different women braiding my hair and my twist ended not being uniform in the amount of hair that was used + technique. Anyway frustrated at this point and really wanting to the hell out of there, I paid the ladies and went on with my day. Once I got home, I realized they never twisted all the way to the ends of the twist (I couldn't see this because they rolled the ends up and they were curly when I left the shop) leaving me with fuzzy raggedy ends. My hair just looks less than professional and for $160 I expect better service and results than this. I would warn ladies if you decide to go there for a style, please make sure they know exactly what you want and get a clear understanding of what the finish product will look like before you proceed and end up walking away disappointed like me. read more

4 minutes ago To simply put it, some of Jamela's employees are RUDE! Because of this, I will never come here again! This was 5th time coming and now my last. I came early Saturday morning at 7 A.M. and there was only 2 other customers there. I was so excited to get my hair done. I planned to do spring twists and I bought the correct type of hair needed for the hairstyle. As soon as I told an employee the hair style I wanted to do, SHE LAUGHED AT ME IN MY FACE! And said I can't do that hairstyle. I then asked her, why not? THEN SHE SAID BECAUSE IM NATURAL AND I NEED A PERM!!!! Like really???? Who says that to an customer? Please keep in mind my hair was completely blown out and soft!!! She said that Spring Twists won't look good if I have natural hair! I asked her why? And then I showed her pictures of women who had the same hairstyle WITH natural hair too!! She said told me my hair isn't good!!! Then another employee asked me what kind of hairstyle I want and I told her then THEY BOTH LAUGHED AT ME and she said I can't do that hairstyle. I even asked her if she could show me why the hairstyle won't work with my hair by doing 1 twists and she said no she's not touching my hair. TALK ABOUT HUMILIATION!! Never again will I come to Jamelas Hair Braiding!! I will never recommend ANYONE HERE! Some of her employee are so rude! Horrible customer service. And a complete waste of money!!! Thank God my church friend does hair and did the same Spring Twists hairstyle for me and every since I got my hair done people have been complementing me asking me who did my hair! Thank God! I would've wasted $180. Instead I payed $80! read more

I love getting my hair braided at Jamala's.I have been to a few places around Atlanta and by far, my experience here was the best. As you know, I am a Natural Hair Product person, and I advise my clientele to go to places that will not cause traction Alopecia. I have not had this problem here. My hair is always braided exactly as I wish. I love how my hair looks and feels every time I visit. I love Maggie and Jose! They're wonderful!! read more

My experience at Jamela Beauty Salon in Marietta, Ga. was awesome. The staff was very professional, the hairstylist that did my hair was very efficient and polite. She did my hair in record time of three hours and I would say she did a awesome job. I am very happy with my long kinky twist and I have received numerous compliments on the work. Thank you Nora the stylist who did my hair I am very satisfied. Great work!! Keep doing a great job I will continue to come there for my hair braiding needs:) Arlene C. read more

I came here to get my hair in Senegalese twist and was not very happy with the outcome. The customer service was decent but could have been better. Most of the women were nice but the lady doing my hair seemed like she was in a rush to get me out of there (which would have been nice if she actually did my hair neatly). Two ladies did my hair and you can tell the difference. The front is much neater then the back is. The ends of the hair looked horrible and nappy the next day. Less then a week later braids were starting to untwist. I paid $190 I want my hair to be perfect. So I will be calling back for them to fix my hair. read more

Jamilla's is not horrible...it is horrific, overpriced, unprofessional, and abominable. It took 8 hours to do a kinky 2- strand twist as the stylist took breaks, stayed on the phone, and conversed with other stylists. The stylist was extremely unprofessional and the owner did not say anything to her. My braids are extremely short, tight, and abominable. I patiently asked the stylist 14 times (sorry, but I counted) to stop putting gel in the scalp of my hair. I asked her 25 times to please stop braiding tight. She never apologized. Later, she got into an altercation with another stylist while the owner took a customer outside to calm her down. Throughout this whole 8 hours, I never complained, remained professional, and kind. Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I took my daughter a couple of weeks ago, I showed them a photo and it turned out EXACTLY how she wanted. It only took 4 hours and I felt safe that my 15yr old was there with the women. They are strictly business ,no chatting at all and the place was clean overall. I will go if and when I decide to get braids. read more

I can to get micro twist the parts u can see was nice but the back was way off. I dont the folks know we as customer ask our friend to check. I can the one who kept stopping to the one that sit down. But when I question hair about the hair section. The loud mouth one that look to be a kid. Said in such a harsh way I know what I'm do I don't need u to tell me nothing. FYI the braids she done r the worse parts. Go figure. read more

I went to Jamela's for micro braids on Friday - April 27, 2012 and I must admit that I'm very satisfied with the work. EVERYONE was very friendly and had good customer service skills. I've already gotten a lot of compliments on my hair . This was my first time trying Jamela's because of a friends recommendation and my friend didn't guide me wrong. I'm a satisfied customer. I had 3 people at one point braiding my hair but for the most part 2 people. My hair is perfect, no flaws!!!! read more
