From the shampoo girls/guys to the beauticians, everyone was friendly. Everyone remained professional and polite. This was my 1st time here, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go back! Everyone worked quickly to get their clients in & out. Definitely not a hoodrat meeting spot. I loved the environment.

Was going to Sandra's down the street originally, but it was a 3 hour wait. After driving off I saw…read moreLinda's about a block down, although it didn't come up when I searched braid shops near me. But, I sat outside and called to see if there was an immediate opening, because I hate waiting. There was no wait and Linda started on my hair immediately (I was the only client). I was skeptical at first because she used the restroom and I'm not certain she washed her hands (still not sure I wanted to know). Then the comb she wanted to use looked ancient with a lot of missing teeth so I asked her to use mine. I tried to ignore my germaphobic condition, which was on high alert as her hands were really dry and she came out of the restroom still fastening her pants. At any rate, for the time and service I received I gave four stars. Some braids are kind of twisted up the wrong way, then she kept cutting the raggedly ends and almost snipped my whole braid. I'm also afraid because my edges are very thin and she goes "I would take this braid down now, but your hair may come out"...why? Overall, I guess the experience was cool. I'll return again, long as my hair doesn't come out after removing my braids in a month or so. It was also very dark in this shop, and then we all started chocking because the other girl who works there burned something in the microwave. Sort of a weird experience, but when you're desperate, I guess you tend to overlook some things and hope for the best!

DO NOT go to Braidz by Blue!! I was treated so unprofessional by this Stylist. I made an…read moreappointment on this past Saturday to have faux loc done. I really like the pics that I saw of her work. I spoke with Blue and made an appointment for 10:00 a.m. I was text on Saturday morning by Blue asking if I could make it by 11, I agreed to the new time. I made it to Blue around 11:30 because I got lost. She then stood outside and met me. We went to the beauty supply across the street to purchase hair. She left me there to purchase and I met her back at the salon. When I walked in, I saw that Blue had another client in her chair with the top of her hair still being done. I was greeted by a lady named Jazmine, ( her assistant). I was told to sit in her seat for her to start my hair. ( the seat is a bar stool with no back.) Blue then says, " She'll do the back of your hair and I'll do the front". I thought that would be ok, so I agreed. As we round around to the end of the back of my hair, she's STILL doing the client that was there since 5 a.m. Its now about 6:30 p.m. She tells her assistant to just finish the rest of my hair because she's still not done. She then walked out of the shop to argue on the phone with the father of her child. I told her assistant that- "I'm a stylist as well and when I made my appointment, I should've been told that I wouldn't have my hair done by Blue, but she has an assistant that helps her". "I like my hair, but you should set your client up with what to expect." I let her assistant finish my hair and placed to hair strand décor. Which was 2 dollars a piece. My hair was 235.00 with the décor 239. I gave her 240. Fast forward to Sunday, one of my faux locs came out. Text Blue to have it fixed. Made it to her yesterday to have it placed. I walked into the shop, and she greets me soooo me rudely! She says, " you owe me 2 dollars. I then asked, "how do I owe you 2 dollars? I'm not a person that receive a service and not pay". Blue-" your hair décor"( which mind you came out the same day). "You didn't pay for them. " I then said " I gave you 240. Blue- says YES! My hair styles was 235. If the hair décor was 2 dollars a piece. That puts my total at 239. I gave you 240." Blue- well I don't know! You owe me 2 dollars and I'm not fixing your hair until I get it! I gave her 2 dollars in change because I didn't want to break my bigger bills. She then proceed to tell me that her assistant told her that on Saturday, that I was upset with my service. I told her that I wasn't upset with my service, I was upset with the lack of communication. She then starts to tell at me telling me that I should've been " women enough to say something". WOW! Professionalism is Key! Her Lack of communication and her regards for her clients is very under minded. I WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND THIS STYLIST TO ANYONE!!!!!! SHE TALKS BAD ABOUT OTHER CLIENTS AND WORKS. She drinks while working as well! Do not go to her!!!! Period! You will regret it!!!

She greeted me with a positive attitude, I felt comfortable immediately, I was then asked to go to the wash bowl and MAN best hair wash I've ever received lol she like massages your scalp and soothes it after the wash and I was blown away!! Then she blow dried my hair and thank God she didn't burn me I always hate that part because stylist usually burn my scalp but not her!

There was bondage glue all throughout my natural hair. She glued the extensions directly to my ponytail without any wrap or fabric to protect it. The glue also seeped through the cap she put on the bottom of my hair because she used liquid cap I'm guessing. I've had this style before with another stylist and didn't have this issue at all. It took me 6 hours to remove all of the glue carefully. Also the time estimation on her website is not accurate it took more than double that. Wouldn't recommend.

I went to Lauren based on these very positive reviews. However, I didn't even get my hair done and…read moreunfortunately had to walk out. Lauren and I scheduled a date and time to install Marley Twists on my hair. I also showed her photos for inspiration- as I didn't want them to be too big. She said it would be twenty dollars more. She then cancelled on my less than two hours away from the appointment but said she'd give me 10 dollars off. Today I went to the 5pm appointment we agreed on however when I got there she was in a middle of installing a weave. By the looks of it I knew it would take at least another hour. Lauren did not apologize for being behind schedule. In addition the salon is a zoo and not relaxing at all - extremely loud music to the point that you can't even hear the other person next to you speak and kids running around. At around 5:45pm when she was done with her client I got up to walk to her chair - she stopped me and said someone else is next. Again she did not apologize or offer any explanation. When I first walked in Lauren didn't say there was another person ahead of me. Never mind the fact that I texted her at 3:30 pm to confirm my appointment. Around 6:30pm she came over with her assistant to get started on my hair - finally! Then she stopped after about 8 twists and went back to the other client. When I inspected the twists that were done so far I was horrified - different sizes and lengths,the twists were not evenly twisted and it was clear that two different people were working on my hair. After waiting yet another half hour - around 7:30pm I told Lauren I wasn't happy with the size or look and I've been waiting for too long. Again no apology about having me wait for HOURS and nothing but excuses regarding the poor execution of the twists. Then she left me hanging and went back to another client. Finally I told her I couldn't wait anymore and will have to leave to which she did not respond. I'm not sure if she was overbooked or just started late that day but I would've preferred that she was realistic about when she could get to my hair instead of having me wait for THREE HOURS before I finally just left. Some stylists just want your money and don't care about customer service or satisfaction which ultimately brings in and keeps the clients. In addition I'm not sure if she was having a bad day but I wasn't impressed with the work. I would never recommend Lauren and will not be rescheduling.
