This woman is absolutely amazing! I wish I came here first when I got my hair braided a few weeks…read moreprior.
I ended up bringing my daughter here about a month ago and it was the best decision I could've made for her. She was ready for my daughter right on the dot for her appointment time and she went straight to prepping.
Not only is Aminata sweet, respectful, gentle, professional, and quite fast I might add, but she makes you feel right at home as well. I couldn't have asked for a better stylist!
When it came to picking out the colour for the braiding hair, I actually always go with either a #1B or #2 for my daughter, but as the professional Aminata is, she chose a #4 instead, which turned out to be a perfect match. I had no idea! It didn't stop there though. She not only asked for my opinion; she also made sure my daughter was comfortable with the choice as well. I've never seen a stylist ask an 11 year old for a second opinion. Aminata made my daughter feel significant and gave her confidence since she was the one sitting in Aminata's chair. That's EXTREMELY important to me, because my husband and I are raising our kids to know that they matter and they have a voice. We teach our children to speak up and she gave that opportunity to my daughter without me even saying one word about it.
Although she's closed today (which made me remember to write a review in the first place), I plan to call tomorrow to book another appointment for my other daughter. I really hope she does locks because my husband wants to start going to her along with my son after hearing about my daughter's experience.
This has nothing to do with her as a professional, but I have to speak about her character. We had a long conversation about countless topics. Within those conversations, I've concluded that Aminata has a heart of gold! She's sweet, understanding, patient, aspiring and inspiring, and has the best intentions for our children and humanity as a whole. She spoke with a passion you can't fake.
In a world often characterized by its fast-paced nature and the pursuit of personal success, encountering someone with a heart of gold is like finding a rare gem amidst the hustle and bustle. I had the privilege of getting to know Aminata whose genuine kindness and unwavering compassion left an indelible mark on me.
From the very first interaction, it became evident that this person's heart was a reservoir of goodness. I left to get food and when I came back, Aminata was speaking on the phone with someone. The conversation I overheard made me realize that she understands the power of compassion. Her ability to empathize with others and offer genuine support created an atmosphere of warmth and comfort that brought a smile to my face.
One of the most striking qualities was her selflessness. Aminata places the needs of others before her own, demonstrating an unparalleled generosity of spirit. Whether it she's a listening ear during someone's challenged time or extending a helping hand without hesitation, Aminata's kindness aren't calculated; it's like she was acting on an instinctive response to the call of humanity.
What truly sets this person apart is her authenticity. There are no ulterior motives, no hidden agendas--just a sincere desire to make the world a better place and a passion for hair.
This may seem like a lot, but it definitely is not. I'm saying all of this, because many people are unaware, but hair transfers energy. If someone has bad intentions for you or a negative heart, that energy can get passed to you through your hair.
Due to what I observed and our experiences, I trust her and will continue to do so. I also plan to reach out to her to work with her in the future to help grow her business.
I have a few professions that are in the field of marketing, fashion, etc. and I want nothing but the best for her business.
Aminata, if you ever read this, just know that I want to offer you my services free of charge. You've prepaid for anything we do together for your business, with your kindness and character.
I can't wait to come back to discuss with you further, on how we can grow your business!
