    Senegalese Twist ~ waiting on the Headache :) love them
    Jacqueline J.

    With a deployment looming, I decided to take the stress out of worrying about my hair and had Senegalese Twist done at Mayi's African Hair Braiding. While the appointment ran 35 mins behind, the finished product was amazing and worth the wait. The shop located near the home was spacious and sporting some light jazz music. Sadé and others serenaded me as Mayi's intricate fingers began to weave in and out of my scalp. Luckily I had a second braider who finished what Mayi started or my 7 hour do would have stretched to 8 or 9. There was another client getting micro braids that handed me some Aleve for my now forming headache as I twisted and squirmed like a four year old in the chair due to my sensitive scalp. I started to drift into sleep a few hours into the do but the constant tugging and pulling ensured no sleep would occur. I opted to have Mayi provide the hair and loved that hair and numerous hair care products were available for purchase. The grand total with hair included came to $200 which will keep me out of the salon this summer. After my headache passes and the tension releases, I'll do like Willow Smith and "Whip my Hair". Definitely Coming back for more services as she also takes them out for a fee :) Ms Islandgal29412 #TeamSenegalese

    The one star is for the Braiders politeness. I had an appointment scheduled and the braider (Sara?) did not show up until 30 minutes after the scheduled time. The work was spotty and less than satisfactory. She took $20 off of $180 for the "inconvenience". I'm already taking it down after barely two weeks. NEVER SHALL I WASTE MY TIME/MONEY h

    I normally do not write reviews but I feel like I have to warn others about my experience here. I…read morewent to this salon on November 15, 2023 trying to save some money and booked with a level 1 stylist fresh out of cosmetology school. I deeply regret that decision. I asked for simple curtain bangs and the stylist completely butchered the right side of my hair. She told me she was fresh out of cosmetology school and it honestly showed. The cut was uneven, choppy, and way shorter than I asked for. It was so bad that I have been self conscious about my hair ever since. What makes it worse is that my hair has never been the same. I take very good care of my hair and it used to grow evenly and healthy. Three years later and that section still has not grown back properly. I have had to style around it constantly and it has been extremely frustrating. I trusted this salon and left feeling upset and embarrassed. If you care about your hair at all, I would strongly reconsider booking with a level 1 stylist here. Saving money is not worth dealing with damage that lasts for years.

    I have been going with Amber for a while now and followed her from her previous location. She is…read moreamazing! Very informed, educated and compassionate! She most recently helped me recover my hair from my impulsive decision to bleach on my own! She was very patient and brought my hair back to life. The salon is clean, comfortable and well versed in services. If you're not sure where to park, there is parking across the street by the block fences or along the street. Definitely recommend booking ahead of time and/or calling the salon. This is Amber's IG: https://instagram.com/amberrose.stylez?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    I had an extremely frustrating experience with this location. First of all, it was very difficult…read moreto find--it's tucked away inside a large building on the 5th floor with little to no helpful direction. What made matters worse is that they do not accept walk-ins, which would be fine if they were actually responsive. I called three separate times and not a single call was answered. No callback, no communication, nothing. Because I couldn't get through to anyone, I had no choice but to go there in person just to ask about appointment availability--only to be told they don't take walk-ins. The lack of basic customer service and communication is unacceptable. If you expect people to schedule ahead, the least you can do is answer your phone. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of time and patience to deal with the hassle.

    Definitely not worth the $175 for Hair & Makeup service. My curls had all fallen when I got home I…read moreended up having to completely re-curl my hair quickly because it didn't look at all styled or put together. Which totally defeated the purpose of paying to get my hair done. I think the only thing that I liked on my makeup was the eyeshadow, the lashes had lifted at one end of both eyes. My stylist was Lili, I don't think I would return or recommend, especially for the money spent and dissatisfaction of the results. Also, I understood that the salon was located downtown and how I would have to pay for parking because of it, however, I had even asked via text message if they recommended a place to park which they were helpful in sending a picture of one and with it showing their side door for me to enter on the weekend. However, when I got up to the salon, they had asked me for my license plate information to cover or waive the parking expense. Unfortunately, this information wasn't relayed to me in advance that they would be covering the parking expense and the parking lot states you have to pay when you park and when I told her I had already paid for it nobody told me anything even when I asked ahead where to park, Lili's response was "oh well next time." It would have been nice to save the $21.56 that I had spent for 2 hours of parking. Again, super appreciative that they even offer this it's just nice that if it is offered that the information is relayed so I could have appreciated/benefited from it as well.
