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.

Great stylist team and very charming, around-the-way, family salon environment. I went to Michelle…read moreWatson for relaxers and silk-presses for about a year. She took absolute excellent care of my hair. It grew like weeds in her care. Michelle chose an appropriate relaxer for my desired & hair type, and she ensured my relaxers never burned. She was usually able to get me into her chair on time, with natural delays here & there. They worked with me when I had an issue that caused me to require cancellation at the last minute. I also like their equipment and the seating was comfortable. I'll say that some of the stylists are really not good about replying to requests for information, and I usually had to call the salon to get a reply. The website is decent but really needs to be updated. A detailed FAQ section would save potential clients a lot of time. Both of these issues are easily fixable, though. Parking was usually fine & stress-free and it's on a major bus line. Although I'm taking a different direction with my hair, I definitely recommend this salon for folks looking for a permanent salon home.

It's frustrating how some businesses are so quick to forfeit current customers, future business and…read moreany subsequent referrals instead of checking their ego for a moment to solve a problem. It's even more frustrating how some of these same businesses try to accuse customers of getting over on them for decisions that they themselves have made. I've been getting my hair done by Claudette for several years now and for the most part it's been great. I've always gotten a ton of compliments on my hair, and I've shared her business with numerous friends, sorority sisters, and even strangers in the grocery store. My hair has consistently looks great and for the most part our appointments have been timely, which I greatly appreciate! I can make a hair appointment and still have time to enjoy the rest of my day. She's been flexible on the occasions that I've been late, and I've extended to her the same courtesy when she's running behind. From my perspective, we had a pretty good working relationship. A few months back, she started changing the way she was braiding my hair and incorporated. braiding hair. Ever since then, I've noticed that my hair doesn't last as long, and sometimes the crochets slip out, especially in the front. This last time, a little over a week after My appointment, two the crochets slipped out in the front. I sent her a quick text to let her know and showed her a picture, with the intention of trying to figure out what changes we can make to the braiding structure so that it doesn't happen again. I was very surprised when she sent me a note saying that she would refund my money and asking me to find another stylist, noting that she had given me several discounts in the past. I told her that my intention in notifying her was to see how we could resolve the issue together, not to receive any additional discounts. I also told her that I did not want a refund. I want to acknowledge that she had previously provided me discounted services after she had to redo a set of crochets that she had done about week prior. However, the most recent discount she offered me was because she was 4 HOURS LATE for my appointment, and I wasn't able to reschedule because I was flying to New Orleans for a wedding the next morning. At no point did I ever ask Claudette for any of discounts she offered, and was prepared to pay full price for all of my services if asked. I was under the impression that these discounts were an act of good faith and an extension of professional courtesy for my inconvenience. However, it's a shame that unfounded suspicion and/or a bruised ego has tarnished an otherwise good professional working relationship.

I went to Tig for take down service of the hairstyle in the picture. This is the second time I've come here for take down service and been satisfied. As an African American woman who loves her protective styling, I loathe the take down process. Each time I've come here I've called the day of and been able to obtain same day services. I didn't have to schedule a month out like some places. I wasn't overcharged for length or size of braids. I wasn't overcharged for a wash and blow dry. I admit I was skeptical going to anyone [non-black] but I'm so glad I took a chance and you should too. They were gentle with my hair and used heat protection. Oh my take down included a shampoo, condition, blow dry, and flat iron. I opted to forego the flat iron because I wear it in its natural fluffiness. I thought they were kind and communicated what I wanted the entire time. I was in and out within 2.5 hours I think. Each time I've gone, it's only been max 4 people and that includes the stylists, which is nice. Some places are fast but packed and the customer service takes a back seat. I had good service and I don't want to gate-keep so you are welcome. Tell one, tell all....maybe not all lol. Enjoy~
