I had an appointment at Nina's Braiding Bar on Thursday, December 13, 2018. I made the 1 hour and 7 minute trip from Winter Haven for this.
Missi H.

I had an appointement December 13, 2018. When I arrived, Tyvon (my stylist for the morning) was detangling an open pack of braiding hair. She cheerfully greeted me then asked me if I was there for a 9am appointment. I said yes then she asked me to have a seat and give her a moment to finish detangling the hair. I asked if I was supposed to wash my hair prior to the appointment and she said yes. Unfortunately, I didn't know that. I was under the impression that I'd get my hair washed since this was a beauty appointment, I was mistaken. For hair novices, like myself, braid bars don't provide full salon services. Don't go there expecting to get your hair washed. When Tyvon motioned for me to take a seat in the chair position in front of her, I took a moment to look around. The 'braiding bar' is spacious and clean. A relaxing place to get your hair unsatisfactorily braided/styled. As you will see from the pictures I've post, I went to get crochet braids done and boy did she do them...terribly. The spacing between my braids were incredibly wide and Tyvon failed to fill my braids completely with the twists I provided her. I brought ten packs of hair but she only used 5.5 packs and left large gaps of empty braids throughout my hair. When she cheerfully proclaimed "I'm done" I looked in the mirror stunned at how terrible my hair looked. (I definitely picked the wrong color). Somehow, she managed to make the hair bulky in the front and empty in the back. The artistry was lacking and the quality of her skills was disappointing. Immediately I stated my dissatisfaction and asked to have them redone. she gave the impression that her schedule was too full to correct her sloppy work that same day. When I spoke with her later that day, she told me she could re-do my hair for the same price. I was dumbstruck. I couldn't believe poor service was handled so tastelessly. Tyvon stated the owner would be willing to allow me to have my hair redone for a ten dollar discount (basically the amount I tipped Tyvon). Essentially I was expected to pay $120 for CROCHET BRAIDS. That's like going to the dentist, getting a botched root canal then being told that you'd have to pay to have the procedure corrected, even though the dentist is at fault. Overall, I'd say avoid that place if you're hoping for quality hair services.

Tyvon did 2 Ghana braids.

Tyvon did a beautiful job. I she is polite, professional and so sweet. She answered all my questions. Did not braid too tight, no pain at all. I LOVE HER! I will definitely be back.

A few days later of my bob falling into place.

I can't believe they only have 4.5 stars???! THEY ARE a 5/5 EVERY TIME. And I've had my hair braided my two different stylists. The best!!

I've been getting my hair done by Stephanie for a couple of years now and can't imagine anyone else braiding my hair.
