Her work is neat, and she doesn't braid your brain and leave you in pain LOL. I reached out to her via text and she got back to me in good time. When I met her it felt like I had known her forever. She made me feel very comfortable in her home and checked on me and made sure I was ok the entire time. I definitely recommend Mariame for your braiding needs!

If youre getting singles, she has a little sample chart of braid sizes with the prices that go along with them. I got pretty small braids ($225) and got them super long (+$50). My actual hair is pretty short (3 inches) with a looser curl pattern. This, added to my braid size and length, made for a loooong appointment, but she was very patient and even after the last braid was installed, made sure they were all looking RIGHT. Her braiding is done from home, and I got to meet her beautiful family. Her grandson is super cute and entertained me while I sat there looking crazy with my hair and extension hair all over the place lol. Will def come back to her Bc like I said, my braids are POPPINNNNNN

After my original braider canceled on me literally 30 minutes before my appointment (while I was…read moreblow-drying my hair according to her prep instructions ), I was ready to panic. Instead, I jumped on Yelp, found Famarisa African Braiding, took a chance, and I am SO glad I did. I called at 8:30am and Famarisa was able to get me in almost immediately. I walked through the door around 9:25 a.m., and by 9:30 someone was already braiding my hair. They had the braiding hair ready to go--I just had to grab the Boho hair for my waist-length knotless goddess braids. Y'all... I was walking out the door by 4:00 p.m. with a FULL head of beautiful waist-length Boho knotless goddess braids. I have been getting my hair braided for years, and I have NEVER finished early enough to still enjoy the rest of my day. When I looked up around 3:30 and realized she was already on the last row, I almost cried lol. These women do not play about their time, and they definitely don't waste yours. The atmosphere was just as amazing as the service. It genuinely felt like I was hanging out at my auntie's house while everyone chatted in French and other languages. The entire shop was warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The owner's daughter was incredibly kind and even offered me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while I was there. (She also does beautiful nails, by the way!) The biggest win for me, though, was the braiding itself. I am EXTREMELY tender-headed. Usually, the first night after getting my hair braided is miserable because my scalp hurts so badly. This time? I slept like a rock. Not a single headache or sore spot. My braider listened when I told her I was tender-headed, checked in with me throughout the appointment, and adjusted her tension without any attitude or pushback. That level of care meant everything to me because, trust me, I have absolutely cut braids out before when they were too tight. I can honestly say I found my new braider. Looking back, I'm grateful my original appointment fell through because otherwise I never would have found this gem. If you're looking for PROFESSIONAL, talented, efficient, kind braiders who truly care about their clients, Famarisa African Braiding is it. Period. I recommend them without hesitation.

Damn right The Braid Bar is as good as it gets! And not only…read morebecause it is Local and black owned! But, also because: The Bar is a Beautiful, professional shop with multiple chairs and inviting interior, (there's tons of candy). The most impressive aspect of the Braid Bar is that there are plenty of stylists, assistants and booths. They have their own well-stocked beauty supply within the salon; that carries rare hair colors and hot new accessories - that I adore because I love having braids and playing up my styles. There doesn't seem to be any unnecessarily long waits and no shortage of hands like some traditional shops. Finally, I've actually never had my done here but I have the pleasure of being friends with Ricky, who works at the shop. He always does a beautiful job on my hair during our private sessions, and is very gentle and has so many years of knowledge.

I am sorry to write a negative review, especially for a local Black and woman owned business!…read moreI had originally made an appointment online to get my daughter's hair braided on Friday August 7th. A scheduling conflict came up so I called the salon on Thursday and had a nice conversation with a worker (owner? bad on me for not getting the name) and we were able to reschedule to Monday the 10th at 3:15pm. My daughter was SO excited! We arrived at the salon a little before 3:15pm, and no one was there, shop was closed and locked. After 10 minutes, I called the same number I had used on Thursday (shop number) and left a message. We ended up waiting for 30 minutes, I called one more time and no one came. My daughter was absolutely devastated as she had been waiting to get braids for a while. No return phone call or follow up from this shop. I can understand if it was just human error and they had forgotten to write down or reschedule the appointment...but ignoring multiple calls without following up to apologize or clarify what had happened was disappointing and unprofessional. Unfortunately can not recommend.

I don't even know where to start, so I'll just dive right in. I've been struggling with my…read morepartially curly/partially straight hair my whole life. Extremely frustrating, to say the least. We've all been to a million stylists and poured out our concerns, frustrations, and hopes for getting our hair to look like we want it to. Not only when you step away from that appointment, but ideally for at least a few weeks after the appointment. Trying to maintain the wrong cut and trying to keep it looking fresh is a struggle within itself and what has been happening to me for most of my life. I now know that is because all along I've need a Hairapist, not a "Stylist". So then comes the day I entered this dope little salon for my appointment with LaTasha the Hairapist. Let's start with the vibe of her salon - so aesthetically lit, I'd want to have a private cocktail party in there. So pretty and decorated so fly! LaTasha has a warmth about her that is so welcoming, from the moment you step inside this hair sanctuary of hers. And when you sit in her chair, the magic begins and lasts not only after your appointment is over (and I didn't want it to end, trust!) but for weeks/months afterwards! I'm currently at 2 months and my hair is still looking right thanks to her technique as well as all of the knowledge she instilled in me during our session. I've seen others on here refer to LaTasha as a curl whisperer, a hair goddess - well, she certainly is. I felt so spoiled by her treatment of my hair and scalp while in the bowl, and while in her chair as she gave me the most transformational cut, that brought to life all the layers of curls that were hiding underneath my straight heavy pieces. The curls came to life before my eyes, and I am geeking like nobody's business!! Because of the tips she gave me during our session, I have been able to easily maintain my fabulous new do, even while being as busy as I am. I'm excited to be back in her chair next week to receive the magic again, and to hang with this unique woman, so filled with light and an incomparable love for her passion! 15 years of experience is nothing short of amazing when she pours all of that, plus her passion, into transforming your hair and sending you off floating on a cloud. I'm so grateful I was referred to LaTasha through a friend, and mark my words, you won't ever catch me in another chair besides this gifted Hairapist's chair. Next time it's about to be a photoshoot, I wish I'd taken pics the first time! THANK YOU LATASHA! You've changed my life!
