I went for the first time today to Bijoux African Hair Braiding (for those unfamiliar or fellow…read moreClevelanders, across from Windermere Rapid Station). Laura, Nicole, and all the other braiders are very talented braiders and were able to duplicate the style I showed them in the picture and I was quite impressed! They were also very quick and took no breaks. I wanted a fairly complicated style and they listened to me and care about the satisfaction of their customers. Every customer was pleased that day and I will be returning. Do not listen to the reviews, you have to see for yourself...just build a relationship with them and explain what you want. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Great Job and thank you ladies for having my hair on point!

Follow up - Ok went back to this shop to get a redo of the same micro braids. The owner was out of…read morethe country in which her daughter is running the business until L comes back. When I took down the previous braids I made sure I bought some to shop so they know I want the same size for the same price $180. All went well the daughter started braiding my front and sides & stopped. I notice the braids were way bigger then what I had so I stopped her in mid braid and asked how much she was charging me. She stated $180 I advised the last time I received a smaller braid for $180 why would I pay you $180 for bigger braids this should be $150. She states maybe my mother gave me a discount - NO Discount was given on my part. After about 3hours another female started braiding the rest - HERE IS WHERE IT WENT BAD!!! 1ST she grabbed my nape and started braiding super soft which I knew the braids were not going to stay; so I told her she can braid a little tighter. I could tell my parts were not perfect & she was not comfortable braiding. After 8 hours (usually 6 hrs.) I was done. It looked Good not Great as the 1st time I went. This was December 29th on December 30th about 10 braids fell out from the back and 5 on the sides, some braids were not completely braided or had no slip knots to secure the braids. I called and explain the issue and was told they would fix them. As I do not live in this city so my commute back is about 1 hr on a good day and I had travel plans for New Yr. After the holiday (about a week later) I called again to explain that more braids are following out from the back and severally braids were hanging on for dear life. Again I was told they would fix them but I would have to come in after 8pm on a weekday - Not feasible!!! To make a long story short my braids never got fixed and it's only been a month and they look horrible and I mean horrible. I thought I found a braid shop that I could visit forever but I was wrong. If the owner or the daughter is braiding your hair you should be cool but anyone else WATCH OUT!!!Now I have to find another shop that is consistent on their techniques and quality. Very Disappointed
