    As you can see she doesn't even appreciate the compliments from her customers but will get on here to go back and forth about "over pricing" a service. $50 to take down a sew in with no wash included is crazy. Considering the money I spent with her. This is how you keep customers not just do hair once and never see them again due to over pricing.Run from this place!

    Love this braiding shop. Nancy took great care of me. She did a take out of my old braids, shampoo, conditioning and instnew braids. Love her knowledge and attention to details.

    Reliable, Friendly, Affordable, and such a good braider! My leave out Sew Ins are always very neat and flat! Nancy is my go too girl for a seamless sew in! She's very respectful, and friendly! Thank you Nancy for being so kind.

    I've been to Nancy's consistently for about a year now and I don't trust anyone else's hands in head. Her location is awesome, she's very sweet and accommodating, the prices are extremely reasonable which was a selling point for me and she always has ample stylists to help get you in and back out into the world looking funky fresh! If you're looking for an excellent African Braiding Shop please, look no further!

    Great job! I found this place on yelp and definitly stood up to it's reputatuion. Nana did my braids, and she did an amazing job, and fast! There was a braid I didn't like and she fixed it with no problems. I got feed in cornrows, so it didn't take long, but even with that, she was still super efficient. I think this place is black woman owned which makes it even more amazing. The only downside (only reason my review wasn't 5 stars) is because Nana was a bit late and I had to wait about 20 minutes for her to arrive and open the shop, but that would not stop me from coming back. The style was exactly what I wanted and the price was great!! I'll definitely be back!

    Mid back length box braids

    The girl, doing my hair did a great job. it was very short so she really had to work her magic. i didn't keep the braids long since my scalp didn't like the weight of the braids but i'll be back for a simpler style.

    6/25/19 I arrived to Mrs. Nancy's shop very last minute and no appointment. Her shop is by appointments only but I called desperately and to my surprise Mrs. Nancy answered her phone and told me she'd arrive in 40 minutes. As promised she did and I received exactly what I imagined! Beautiful and neat (smaller than last time install) lemonade braids. As I sit here today 7/1/19 writing this review today my hair looks so good that I'm still receiving compliments daily asking me who did my hair. Mrs. Nancy is TRULY a gem and my ONLY go to for all braids!

    Reddened/bleeding welps, scabs, sores to scalp

    RUN AWAY AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! I went to this salon solely off of what looked like decent reviews. The place I prefer to go to was booked through the week. I spoke with Nancy, sent her a picture of the style I wanted (twists) and told her that I specifically don't like my braids tight. She assured me that the braid at the root wouldn't be tight. I was charged $180 for the service ON TOP of having to buy my own Marley hair for about $60 (I was told I needed 8 packs; each pack was about $7/$8). As Nancy was braiding/twisting my hair. I kept asking her to please braid looser. She told me that the braids were actually loose but they felt tight because the braids were twisting on themselves once she got down to the twisting part. That made sense in my mind because I did notice that the braids did turn on themselves as she twisted. She told me the braids would loosen up in 2-3 days. I got my hair done on a Wednesday and went out of town in a Friday. My braids continued to remain tight and my scalp and head were throbbing. I did all the tricks to try and loosen up the braids and kept holding hope that they would get looser until I couldn't take it anymore. The last straw for me on top of the excruciating pain was all of the scabs, sores, welps, and bleeding all over my scalp. I started feeling them about 4/5 days after having the braids in. The next morning I could visually see my scalp reddened/bleeding. I immediately texted Nancy to tell her what was going on. She read the message and never replied! At that point, I sent her another message informing her that I was taking my hair down and would like a refund. She immediately called me and told me that I should have told her in 1-2 days that the hair was too tight. How would that make sense if she told me the hair would loosen up in 2-3 days? ANYONE who has EVER gotten their hair braided knows that the hair will eventually loosen up, but it shouldn't take a whole week or even get worse with time which is what happened with me. Nancy offered no apologies and also told me she would not offer me a refund or ANY type of resolution to my issue. Literally NO RESOLUTION. Not even to help me take down my style. Not even to give me a PARTIAL refund for taking out a style within less than a week of having it. This was all after denying the damage even after I told her I WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO GO BACK TO HER SHOP TO SHOW HER WHAT MY SCALP LOOKED LIKE. Now, as I start to take my hair down, I'm noticing small pieces of hair attached to scabbed scalp come out of my head. This is the WORST EXPERIENCE I've had ever. Please do not take this review lightly! I told Nancy that if she couldn't offer any resolution then I'd post a picture of my scalp along with this review and she said she didn't care. I guess the money (including the $30 tip I gave her) is more important than losing future business. IF YOU WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO LOSE YOUR HAIR, GO TO THIS PLACE. UPDATE #1: Right after posting this review, I received a barrage of harassing text messages from Nancy calling down evil upon me for posting my review. I received more interaction from Nancy for posting THE TRUTH then when I originally called her to see if there was something she could do for me. I was embarrassed to even post the one picture I posted but I do want to make it clear that if I get anymore harassing messages I will wait for my husband to get home so he can take a picture of the BACK of my head where I have EVEN MORE welps and scabs towards the nape of my neck. Do good business with people instead of being greedy and not caring about whose hair you ruin and people won't have to go to the internet to tell the TRUTH about you. May peace be with you. *** By the way, ALL PICTURES are of my GREASED scalp. I greased by scalped SEVERAL TIMES in hopes that I could find some relief. My scalp isn't dry, there's no dandruff (I've NEVER had dandruff and my scalp was freshly washed the day I got it done), the flakes that you see are from PEELING SCABS. UPDATE #2: So in addition to the harassing text messages I got from Nancy, she got blocked and I'm now getting "no caller ID" calls to my phone. This is how low someone will stoop because you expose them for their bad business practices. I don't know if I'm supposed to be scared or bullied into taking my review down but it's not happening. Please, everyone look at all of the glowing reviews I've given every other company for services I've received. I've NEVER wrote a 1-star review before. I take writing these reviews very seriously. If I can protect even ONE of you from being victim to this then I've done the right thing. UPDATE #3: Finally was able to sit through coming out and detangling my hair and I've lost more hair in 6 days than I do on my wash days. The hair is just sliding right out of my roots. This is literally the most devastating experience I've ever had.

    I found this salon after searching IG and Facebook for reviews close to me. I wanted my hair done the next day and ppl i found were either booked months or charged way too much. She was able to squeeze me in early the next day. I was finished in 5.5 hours which for me is amazing. I have a ton of hair and I'm usually at the salon for hours getting it done. I love the result.

    They were fast (only 4 hours for small, knotless, single box braids!), and the braids are neat and uniform.

    Professional and superior customer service. My daughter loved her first sew-in and mind you, we…read morescheduled and purchased hair only a couple of days before!

    I paid $300 for the wig construction and $250 for installation in September (total $550)…read more Issues with the Initial Service (September) 1. Fundamental Measurement Error: The unit was improperly sized and too large. The stylist, Gia, insisted she "didn't need to measure" properly despite my hair being in braids, but then later blamed the braids for the poor fit. This is an unacceptable professional oversight that led directly to a bulky, ill-fitting wig. 2. Poor Quality: The custom unit was the incorrect color (not the requested ash blonde) and a track began falling off after only two days of wear. 3. Client Inconvenience: The installation appointment ran an hour late. When I arrived, the hair was still wet and not pre-styled, suggesting a last-minute rush. Due to the significant sizing and quality issues, I had to remove the unit after just two days, effectively wasting the $250 installation fee. Issues with the Resolution Process (Oct 6 - Dec 1) *I returned the defective unit on October 6th for correction. The following two months were marked by a severe lack of professionalism and communication: * Failure to Communicate: Gia missed deadlines (including Oct 29) without initiating contact. I was consistently forced to reach out for updates. * Wasting Time: She only informed me on October 30th that she was having difficulty achieving the ash blonde color. She should have communicated this vital information immediately so we could decide on a new plan, instead of delaying the process. * Further Error: To resolve the color, she offered to dye the wig back to black. However, she colored it jet black, despite knowing my natural hair is 1B (off black), making it impossible to wear as a U-part unit with my natural hair left out. Refusal to Refund & Confusing Offers * After two months without a usable product, I requested a refund for the $300 wig construction fee. * Refusal: Gia refused the refund, claiming the time spent was on "modifications made at no charge." This time was spent correcting her original professional errors (poor sizing, loose tracks, and wrong color). * Misleading Resolution: She also insisted her offer to remake a new unit was strictly a "model promotion" and not a resolution for the faulty wig. This contradicts her prior text messages, where she offered to remake the unit as she stated in texts "when I'm able to make the new unit with my hair and the color you want, we can move forward with that and there's no charge if you still want to do the promotion." * The initial product was faulty due to her sizing error, the quality failed within 48 hours, and the resolution process was unacceptable. I received a defective product, wasted the installation fee, and spent two months chasing updates. I would not recommend this service due to the lack of accountability, respect for the client's time, and the refusal to offer a reasonable refund for a failed custom product.
