First I was told to come at 9am and didn't get started til 9:45am and didn't leave til 2pm. I wanted simple cornrows and they did such a horrible job I left with half of my hair done. It looked nothing like the picture I showed her. The feed-in technique was sloppy, the braids were bulky and touching, you couldn't see the parts in-between. I was so disappointed I wanted to cry. How are they still in business?! Should have sat and observed their work or read all the bad reviews before choosing this salon...lesson learned. And judging from what I saw the other braider doing No one in this salon can braid hair. Wasted my money and my time smh read more

Vicky African Hair Braiding - What I asked for vs. what I got. Never goin back - Hair Salons Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Believe the other reviews! These are the worse knotless braids ever! I paid Jean $180 for these horrible braids (she asked for $200 initially). Go to B&B Hair Braiding in Hackensack instead. read more

Definitely the worst hair braiding salon I've ever been to I should've looked at the Yelp reviews before coming here. The parts are uneven & the one doing down the middle is way off center. My hair is hanging out of freshly done braids and I have long hair it should've been secured into the braid there's no reason why there's 2 inches of hair hanging out of braids. These photos are from 3 hours after leaving the salon. I can't wear this for longer than a week because it already looks like weeks old. The only reason my braids even look half decent is because I kept trying to check them as she's braiding. A lady left before me who obviously did not check her braids as they looked like they were done by a child. The women I went to cannot braid she should not be braiding hair. No care was put into this. No talent, and no respect. She's the last chair furthest from the door. read more

This braiding salon is HORRIBLE. Please do not waste your time or money at this establishment. I went last week, the day before I wanted my hair braided to get a price. I was told how much it cost that day. The next day I went back and Vicky (the owner) was going to braid my hair. After I sat in the chair and she started braiding around 6 and I got there at 415 the price changed. She was eating while she was braiding my hair and then. Stopped in the middle of braiding my hair to run to the store for personal reasons. She did s rushed job and did not finish my hair and told me another price. I was suppose to go back the next day so she can finish the style. I did not go back the next day and I only have her the money she quoted me the day before. I do not like to feel that I have been taken for my money. The girl in the chair next to me got box braids down her back and she charged her 125.00 that's fair but a 140.00 for cornrows is ridiculous. They are rude and will scam you. They do not listen to what you are asking them to do. They are terrible and I will NEVER go back. Now if you don't mind being scammed or getting a style you didn't ask for or like a sloppy rushed job, then this is the place for you. But I highly doubt you want any of this done to you so don't bother to get your hair braided here. You been warned. read more

This Place is trash! I made an appointment on Monday, the lady "Vicky" confirmed Wednesday Evening works and then cancelled on me 2 hours before appointment. The reason was, because "it's not busy enough" and I only wanted 2 braids. I really do not see any REAL reliable, talented, 5 Star Customer Service, nor Hustle Driven African Braiding Spots in Bergen County. I use Bergen County, NJ for Hair Braiders for local emergencies and they still cannot deliver better than crossing the bridge to 125th Street "Harlem". read more

Did not get what I asked for. Showed a picture and they were so busy doing a rush job that the parting wasn't clean. Also charged entirely too much for such a simple hairstyle that wasn't even executed properly. Never going back!! read more

This place is complete trash. I wouldn't even go in a pinch. The customer service is horrid and the quality is as well. Save your coins friends! read more

Horrible service. They gave me the wrong service, offered to fix it by helping me by taking out the style and redoing it. They CHOPPED my hair off completely when taking the style down. When I took out the redo hair style, I had to get a hair cut because my hair was two different lengths, which it was not before. The braider had just braided my hair the night before so she knew the length of my hair. Then the redo was very sloppy. They DO NOT care about your hair, only the money. Beware read more

Excellent service. I take my 13 year old there and I go there often to get my twists done. Very clean hair braiding salon. Not sure why the reviews are bad. read more

The worst! Huge waste of money and time. I will never return. Women on either side of me had sloppy braiding done as well. My style was supposed to be microbraids. Parting is huge on the inside. The result is sparse braiding that I cannot wear down. I had to buy more hair to make a bun. $300 down the drain (bought my own human hair for the braiding, $150+). They turned 16-inch hair into about 8 inches; completely unskilled. Unless you want the most basic style, and are prepared to be talked about in a foreign language, verbally accosted and possibly physically abused (very rough combing), do not go here. Completely unprofessional and very disappointing. Please do better for the customers who support your business. read more

WARNING WARNING!!!! This woman braided my hair and was literally ripping my hair out. I kept telling her it was hurting too much and she kept braiding acting like she did not speak English. I lost so much hair in front that I look bald and am currently looking for an attorney to sue them!!!!! Please do not go here, WARNING!! read more

If I could give them a rating of no stars it would be more than suffice...I have a pixie cut that transitions from low taper in the back to more length as it goes to the front...but there is enough hair on the front, sides and middle back for someone to catch and braid. I went to the shop prior to me getting it braided because I wanted to turn my tapered back into a shaved undercut and I had to make sure that if I shaved it first they would be able to catch the remaining hair so that I could wear it up in a bun if I felt like it. I was assured that wether I shaved it before or after she could catch the remaining hair so i set up an appointment for the following Saturday at 8.30. I arrived on time Saturday and the braider came in a little after...I would reference her name but I honestly forgot it. So long story short I took off my scarf and she asks me did I shave the long parts of my hair and I said no just washed and blew dried...she made a nasty face but I ignored that...I sat in her chair and she begin to braid my hair but I noticed she was not being uniform with her parts or where she was braiding...so I asked her are you gonna to be able to catch the hair she was missing and the other braider said don't worry I will look at it...so I allowed my braider to finished but she still wasn't touching the back near the undercut line or the patch of hair she left on the side...and I asked once again could she catch it...she then tells me NO your hair is to short there and I could just leave it down...I'm like leave it down the whole point of getting the undercut was to wear it up. The other braider then chimes in that she's the only one that can braid short hair and she wasn't leaving her other clients for me...at this point the devil was inside of me and I was burning up inside...she kept saying how I shouldn't have cut my hair first etc etc by this time I was in kill mode but something said they aren't worth it your gonna go to jail...the old me would have knocked both they behinds out but I put my stuff on asked my price paid and here we are...instead of getting arrested I decided on writing this review...please save your money and do not patron Vicky's Hair Braiding on Main Street in Hackensack, NJ. I kept it cute but the next customer they mess with won't be so nice! read more

Vicky African Hair Braiding - The cut was uniform so how did she manage to catch one side but not the other - Hair Salons Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

I went to the shop for the second time and I saw a picture on the wall and I asked for that style. As The stylist was braiding the back first, I said that is not how the picture looks then she said she didn't want to finish my hair and sent me to somebody else and the lady gave me a whole another hairstyle in the front. And had the nerve to charge me $60! I can't see me going into some place asking for a certain style and come out with a totally different one and then they talk in a language that I don't understand which is very rude and disrespectful. Their parts aren't even straight!! Never again. Never ever again! read more
