Her talent and attention to detail are unmatched, and the quality of service is something you won't find anywhere else. I actually drive over an hour for my appointments, and it's always worth the trip. If you're looking for a place that makes your sew in become one with you with an welcoming atmosphere, this is it! Thank you, Evelyn, for all the years of fantastic service!

Evelyn, hands down, is the best weave and extension stylist. I cannot count the number of times…read morepeople have had to do a double take when I told them I had a weave with full closure. They all said it looked like my real hair. She guides her clients and provides suggestions on where and from whom to get the best quality hair. Not to mention, my weaves have always lasted 3 months. I havent been to another stylist and don't plan on it any time soon. FIVE STARS!

I called Braids by Aminah on Friday night, AFTER hours, and left a message, Aminah called me back…read moreimmediately. She made an appointment for me, accommodating my schedule. As soon as I arrive, she assessed my hair and started the braiding process. She was professional, quick, efficient, and soft-handed. This was the first time I did not feel as if my scalp was being pulled from my head. I went through cancer treatment and my hair grew back except in one very noticeable spot. Aminah braided my hair so that that spot is covered. I've never been happier. She is a master of her craft. If you are looking for professionalism and someone to braid your hair, look no further, Braid by Aminah is the place to be! The shop is beautifully decorated and SHE HAS SNACKS! Thank's Aminah. I appreciate you!

I have been to Aminah's salon twice. I texted her on Friday the 29th of May, sent her a picture,…read moreand asked her if she could do the style I wanted. She agreed. I asked her if I could come on Wednesday, June 3rd, and she said yes. I am leaving to go out of the country on Thursday, June 4th. This appointment was very important to me. I arrived this morning right on time, but Aminah was not there. There were three women who was there in the shop. One of them called Aminah and informed her I was there. I spoke with Aminah and she informed me that "Binta" was going to do my hair. I responded, "Okay, no problem." Binta told me to sit in her chair. I showed her the style and she said, " I don't know how to do that style" She called Aminah back, and I guess she explained she couldn't do it (speaking French). Sidebar: if it involves me, please speak English. After speaking with Aminah, Binta said, Aminah said she can't come. I asked why she didn't call or text me, but nobody responded. Now I'm riding round looking for someone to braid my hair. TRUST ME, IF YOU HAVE ANYWHERE IMPORTANT TO GO, DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AMINAH; she is neither professional nor reliable.

I hate my loc extensions. I already had loc'ed hair and it was a decent length. (I like locs in…read moregeneral, this isn't about me disliking the hairstyle) I got loc extensions past my shoulders on 9/9 and I am ready to cut them out on 9/24. Why? Why would I spend an exorbitant amount of money on locs only to take them out 2 weeks and 1 day later? Since they are interlocked into my real hair I am not going to try to comb them out and salvage my real hair. I'll start here 1. My hair is soft and dark brown the locs are off black and made with 4 C hair. They do not match my real hair AT ALL and the color washes me out. 2. They are stiff, itchy, not uniform size, heavy looking and ugly (think the hats in Jamaica with the locs attached to the hat). I don't know why Krystina didn't use the right color and/or at least explain that the extensions would not match my real hair color or texture. (Or explained anything, for that matter. I walked in and she got to work no "Q & A" prior to starting) 3. They are very heavy and very bulky and look very unnatural up close. 4. I tie up my hair (EVERY NIGHT) and my parts did not stay. (Perhaps inferior products) I have not done anything other than tie up my hair at night and untie it in the AM. I wish the professional (Krystina) would have analyzed my hair texture and density and advised differently based on her "healthy hair first" mantra. After all, I am not the professional! I wouldn't recommend this service. This is a money grab. I warned you all.

Krystina installed my loc extensions two years ago. I also have them maintained by her. She is the…read moreonly person who I trust to maintain them. Krystina is an amazing stylist. She actually cares about her clients and their hair. I am a firm believer in 'you get what you pay for.' Krystina never disappoints in quality of care and professionalism. By far, the best loctician in the DMV.

A man a older lady and little girl came to open the shop about 10 mins after. Not sure who greeted me but she was very pleasant and immediately took me to the washing bowl to wash me. She was a little rough while washing but it was fine, I like to feel like my scalp is being throughly scrubbed from the dirt. I'm currently under the dryer now for a deep condition. The salon has nice decor, not too big and not too small. Looks to be very clean and neat..the man who opened the shop has been sweeping since I've been here. I will do a update when I'm heading out! (Here to get a deep condition, trim and blow out btw) ***Update**** Still didn't get the lady's name who doing my hair but she's the daughter of the older lady. To make a long story short, I love my hair! The hair dryer was sort of burning my scalp but everyone knows they use high heat. She kept making sure I was ok through the process and very friendly. She blew it straight, then flat ironed it, and trimmed then flat ironed it again to put some body to it (alot of heat!) I'll be back again, probably like once a month becuase of the excessive heat they use.
