Justine Hair Braiding - I love my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I was unsatisfied with my service. My braids were not neat and my parts were not straight. My hair looked 2-3 weeks old the same day I left the shop. The attached pictures were all taken the day I left the shop. One set is me in a dressing room (literally 30 mins after I left the shop) and the others were a couple of hours later (after I made it home). Needless to say I will not return to this shop for service. If you just want your hair braided down for a wig or install then you might find Justine's useful. read more

Great job by two stylist however Im very disappointed at how the prices fluctuate for the same style. One day they charge one price for jumbo knotless then try to charge another price when i go back to get the same service. I kindly remind them how much I paid previously. I also dislike how the stylist forget appointments. Ive scheduled appointments at least three times just to get to the salon and the stylist not be there. I have to call the stylist to remind her about my appt or call the owner so she can call the stylist. read more

Justine Hair Braiding - Partial sew in - Hair Salons Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Just take the time to find somewhere else. If you wants someone who listens to the style you want specifically don't go here as they will attempt to argue or talk you out of what you came in for in exchange for what they feel is the right style while saving time. read more

This salon did medium knotless braids On my little sister on 4/2/22. As she was getting her hair done, she told the stylists, the parts were too big and asked her to resize. The stylist continued. At the end my sister had 18 braids and was unsatisfied. She stylist did not make any adjustments and wanted to charge her $200. My sister refused and THEY CALLED THE POLICE. Ultimately my sister paid $150 for a style she DID NOT like after asking the stylist to make adjustments repeatedly and had the authorities called. I DO NOT agree with this and am sorry my sister had this experience and will not be returning to this salon. read more

I love this place! Super friendly people, everyone greets you when you walk in. I have a lot of hair and they work fast to get your braids done. They make suggestions on style and color so you look your best. Justine is a complete sweetheart! read more

First let me say how grateful I was to find Justine's hair braiding. I was suppose to get my hair done at another shop that i really,really like but when I finally made it to that shop it was already 5:30pm so I was told it was too late to start my braids. I was so hurt cause like i said, i really love this place. So I decided to search Google quickly to find some braiding shops that could see me at such short notice. I called a few and they all told me the same thing. Just as I thought to give up, I came across "Justine's Hair Braiding" I called them quickly and was greeting by a nice women's voice whom told me "sure, come right over. We can do braids for you" My life was saved! And they were only 5mins away. When I arrived there, I was greeted right away and two braiders started instantly. I arrived at 6:00pm and left out the door at 8:45pm. I was extremely happy with the fast service and even more glad that they even saw me at such short notice. They only charged me $160 for individual braids which is $20 less than I normally pay at another shop. (The one I really, really, like lol) But there were a few flaws at this shop, firstly i didn't like the fact they charge an extra $3 if you use your credit/debit card. Then my braider braided extremly tight and she was very rough with my hair. Lastly I didn't like the fact that my braids didnt look full. On a scale 1-10 I rate the overall look of my braids an 7. Overall, its a nice place to go cause there reasonable and nice people. I will consider this my 2nd home if ever I need there services in the future. I'm planning on going back to my other braiding shop first. Update 7/1/17- Justine shop is the best! She updated the inside of her shop and got better braiders. This is the only braiding shop I go to. read more

Found this shop on Yelp last week. The owner was able to fit me in as I had called really late to inquire about getting my hair done. She answered all my many questions about braids/twist. I opted for Marley twist which she was able to complete in 3 hours. She didn't braid too tight and I'm very happy with the results. She even offered for me to come back a few days later to style the twist into a bun for the wedding I'm attending this weekend. My only issue, today, is that she charges an additional $5 for using your credit card :-( read more

Owner is rude AND nasty. Don't come here if you want good braids. The owner called the police on me and locked doors when I told her the price not fair . I asked for large knotless braids but I showed her the picture below I knew what inwas asking for. Midway through ( there are no mirrors for u to see exactly what the broader is doing) I make a video on my phone to see what it looks like and I saw that the parts were way too large. I politely asked her to create smaller parts. I've never been to a braiding shop that when u correct them they don't immediately unplait the braiding and do it to your satisfaction. I told her please don't continue loose it and restart, she did not answer me she instead spoke with Justine ( the owner ) in French and she continued the style against my wishes. As soon as she finished I stood up and went to talk to the owner myself ( Justine) and I began to ask her what is the solution I told u during the process I didn't like it and you guys did not change it. She ignored me and told me I wan to pay 200$ for 18 box braids imagine?? So I told her I can't pay that for 18 braids moreover I am not paying that for a style that isn't what I asked for or what I even like. I grabbed my bag and she began locking doors like I was trying to run off without paying. This was truly a horrid experience. As I was on the phone with my friend I told my friend I would leave a bad review bc of this experience, that is when the owner of the shop Justine began responding to me ( I was not initially talking to her ) and saying "do your worst , you think you're the first "and became extremely aggressive so I told her you are not allowed to lock me in here I can actually leave if I want she began threatening me and decided to call the police. When the police came they decided I was not wrong and instructed me to pay a lesser amount. I would seriously not recommend this shop you can check her ig to see her work.The owner is unprofessional and rude and is losing her damn mind, stay away from this shop. read more

I've gone to this shop 3 times. The ladies are very nice and their prices are average. My only complaint is that they seem more concerned about getting you out of there fast than giving you what you ask for. Each time I asked for small individual braids and got medium. When I tell them I want them smaller they respond that they are small if I wanted them smaller they would be micro?!? Which is not true. Maybe it's their technique it starts off bigger and then becomes the size u want around the midpoint. It took until my 3rd time to see the roaches...I probably won't be back. read more

I had gone in a couple of days ago to inquire about prices for braids for my daughter and I. I was quoted prices and went back this morning with my daughter in tow. I was told that the prices were $10 higher for my daughter and $15 higher for me then what I was originally told. They decided to honor original quote for my daughter's style even though they couldn't tell me who gave me the details- maybe the owner. So, the 6 women that were in there already could not break conversation to do her hair so they called another employee to come in. She came about 15 minutes later acting nonchalant and as if she had an attitude. She got started on my daughter's hair, however; instead of moving her to one of the empty braiding chairs she sat her in one of the nasty waiting room chairs to work. She started complaining about my daughter's hair and how "dry" it was. I told her that when people get braids they normally say not to grease or wet your hair before service. Her hair is very curly and any moisture would curl it back up (it was blow-dried). She was heavy handed and my daughter is already tender headed. I told her that a few times. She kept asking to see the picture of the style which she swore she could do. I also asked her to do the braids smaller so they would last longer on her hair grade. She started out doing them small and as she got to the top the cornrows started getting bigger. She also tried to act like she did not remember that the ends were supposed to be braided with beads and she proceeded to two strand twist them and in addition she tried to keep on cornrowing the top where they were clearly supposed to be loose braids. I had to pull up the picture again and she still even try to argue with me she finally conceded, undid the top and started doing loose two strand twists, still no beads and my daughter wanted beads on the ends of her hair. She continued to try to school me on how to keep my daughter's hair moisturized so that it will not be so hard to part. It took everything I had in me not to get up and leave with her and curse the lady out. I could not have been happier to get her and myself out of there. The work was not as neat or precise as I'm used to with my daughter's hair and I feel like I'm going to have to do some major tweaking just for this style to last even a week on her extra curly hair. She did not twist the two strands all the way to the end and I had to do that once I got in the house. Needless to say I will not be going back to get my hair done there I will go to one of the six other braiding salons open the Laurel area. read more

I walked in to get an appointment for the next day however they convinced me to stay and get it done right away... which was a Friday after work. I thought it was too late to start waist length individuals after 4pm. Wrong! Elizabeth not only started my braids she washed my hair and finished in less than 4 hours! All while we watched my favorite show. Elizabeth and Linda are amazing! Auntie (Justine) was very friendly and she helped match my hair color perfectly. The best hair braiding experience ever. And I didn't need to take ibuprofen to deal with extremely tight braids. When I walked in the house my husband said "Hi Beautiful!". I'll definitely be back. Thanks read more

The ladies that work here are very pleasant and do not braid tight. I was comfortable while getting my hair done and they did a great job matching the style I showed them. Place isn't the cleanest as far as hair on the floor but it was def manageable. Will be returning for my 3rd time. read more

First let me start off by saying I love my braids they're cute they're stylish and they're long just like I wanted them, but it's just that this place has issues big time with roaches. It's like who wants to come and get their hair braided at a braiding shop that has roaches all over the place if they didn't have roaches I would've gave them a five star rating but because of that I was very uncomfortable during my time getting my hair braided.Would not recommend this place to a friend yes because the braids were nice but no because the location had roaches really bad. read more

If you want a TIGHT and neat braided style, this is where you should come. If you want to save your edges, stay far away. I got my hair braided here yesterday afternoon (small feed-in waist length cornrows) and here I am taking them out the very next evening. The braider (I didn't get her name) gripped my hair entirely TOO TIGHT and I've been in pain ever since I left the shop. Even turning my head too fast is painful. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I'm very disappointed that I paid 160.00 for my twists and they are frizzy after 1 week! I have Senegalese twist and in the crown area they were poorly done. When I pull them up in a ponytail yes they look great but a piss poor job was done on the inside. Never again will go there!! read more

This place is nasty. They do not wash their hair brushes or combs roaches are crawling around on the floors and walls. Its overall priced high. They are always spealking their. African language Do not go there read more

I love this place overall.. Justine is very sweet and I always get the same style (Marley twists) and I always get the first appointment of the day so that Justine will do them! She does a very good job. The only thing I would say that they could improve on is being on time. I have arrived at 7:05 for a 7:00 appointment and Justine has not arrived to her shop until 7:20. I will say that people call throughout the day and ask if the can come in now, and Justine will not turn down anyone even if that means she will have you waiting for 2 hours.. I would suggest making an appointment (preferably an earlier appointment) read more

Justine Hair Braiding - Marley Twist (small because they last longer) - Hair Salons Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

The ladies were nice and worked quickly and efficiently. I happened to go on a day and time when the shop was empty. I was in and out before I started to get antsy. Not a lot of conversation but the tv was a good distraction. Price was as quoted and I got the style I asked for. read more

This business had been here for 3 years and I have never noticed it. I am thankful the owner mentioned looking into better signing because they definitely could use it. I, on my way to Wenny's noticed this business and after searching for a place to do a very particular style I decided to give this place a call. The owner was friendly and flexible which is makes for good business. Staff here are friendly and quick which is a plus when getting your hair done is involved especially braids. I am proud to say I have found a new spot close to home! read more

This place is great. The ladies were very friendly and never get tired from braiding. My only grip was they could invest in more pillows for the 6 hours of sitting. My tail bone hurts so much. But besides that, Elizabeth did a great job! read more

Justine Hair Braiding - Hair Salons Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I found this place online after my hairdresser canceled my appointment last minute. I called around 1 and was happy they could get me in. They started at 5:10pm and were done by 9:15pm. I had two braiders. First off the ladies that did my hair did not braid to tight, I was so happy about that because I am tender-headed. I got sengalese twist for $160. Pro: fast, good price, braids look great Cons: They charged $2.00 to pay by credit card, braider asked for a ride home and followed me to my car(this is not professional in my opinion). read more

If I could give negative stars I would, So many complaints about this place. My hair literally lasted a week before it started to come loose, they're lazy and rude! I have natural hair , and they acted like they didn't want to do it , one lady even suggested I get a perm to make it easier on her. Definitely won't be back here read more

I have never had a negative experience here. They are very accommodating which is great for my crazy schedule. I always bring in a picture of what I would like and they make it happen! All of the ladies are very nice and welcoming. They also have decent prices compared to other local shops who over charge you and snarl at you when you walk in the door. This is my new go to spot. read more

This place is amazing I got box braids past my butt. Very nice they lasted. They didnt speak only in their language that made me feel very comfortable .Justine made sure my head was right. I have a big thin part at the top so it's a lil difficult to do it as I desire but they did and I'm very very picky I will b returning. read more

They ladies here do a great job I came in last min for Marley twist ...they charged me 140 because I brought my own hair if i didn't provide hair it would have been 160 which is still a good price i normally pay 180. They got me in and out in about 3 hours. One thing i really like is that they respect your edges and don't try to put every single little hair in a braid which will cause damage to your edges like other African hair braiding shops . As far as the cleanliness it's about as clean as any African braid shop very junky and not but together....the one thing i didn't like is when i paid with my card the lady attempted to put a tip on my card for herself claiming it was "taxes" but it clearly said tip and I'm no dummy ...i pulled the machine away from her and cleared the tip out i already planned to tip her cash but since she wanted to be sneaky no tip for her ! I also did not like how rough she was when combing out my hair the other lady kept telling her to be gentle. I would return since i got so many complaints and they did not braid tight ...I just wouldn't let the second lady touch my hair or card again. read more

They were able to squeeze me in last minute for Marley twists... Not only did my twists look great, it was done in 2 hours! Yes only 2 hours! Ask for the owner- as Marley twists are her specialty! They definitely made my day! read more

I have been coming to Justines shop since i was 13 i have always had a great experience, everybody is so nice and welcoming. I love them! I normally always get box braids or senegalese but i decided to try something new and get Marley twist i showed ms justine the picture and she perfected it!! Never fails!! Always make me feel at home.! And she respects your time!! read more

I love going to Justine. I don't get my hair done with braids that often, but when I do, she never turns me away no matter how late I am or how tired she is...and she still always manages to laugh through the pain. I would recommend Justine to anyone looking for hair braiding with good prices and fast work. read more

I did not have a appointment and heard about them from a friend 15 minutes before I called to see their availability. When I called they said to come right away! I got there at 8:30 am and left at 2:45 pm-small extra long singles on a person with extremely short very natural hair. They were very professional and never stopped working and their prices are reasonable. Will be there every month! Best hair braiders in town hands down! read more

Absolutely love this place! Always do a great job and they are truly lovely women! Why not have good conversation and get beautified at the same time. read more

I have been to Justine's Hair Braiding several times over the past year. I remember when it was smaller and less people worked there so it has expanded (more chairs and more braiders and more space). When I went last year, I remember the customer service being great and being served immediately (no wait time). Pros: the cost is low (in my opinion) and it doesn't take a long time for your hair to get braided. Cons: it's not a visually appealing environment (very old and grungy looking) and the customer service is below-par (compared to when I first went to Justine's). For me, the braids (I got cornrows) were just okay. A friend did tell me that some of the braids looked bigger than the other braids. Everything about this place is just okay from the customer service, the braiding and the cleanliness. That's why I gave it 3 stars. read more

The braiders were extremely fast I was done in five hours flat! Also, I've never had braids before that weren't too tight. They really listened to me since I'm tender headed. read more

Fast.., I got twists,... the ladies listened I don't like them tight... I have to see condition of my hair when I take them out, that's most important to me before I give more stars but if all goes well id go back read more

Great shop, warm environment! These ladies are creating unique braid styles! I love my hair and judging by the compliments that I've received, others do too! Thanks Justine read more

The service at Justine's was amazing as usual. This is my go to place for the past 3 years. I started going here when I began to transition my hair, now I'm fully natural. In this visit, I think a new girl started to twist my hair. Justine hated the way it looked and told the girl to take down all the twists that she did. Justine apologized and finished my hair to my liking. She really cares about her customers. read more

I am so happy for best friend told me about this place! When I got there I was immediately seated and started on! The woman who did my crochet braids did a great job and it only took an hour and 15 minutes! I will definitely continue to go here for all of my braiding services read more
