First African Hair Braiding

"I DEFINITELY DONT RECOMMEND! However , I reached out for a walk-in spoke with the owner PASSY over the phone. I told her what I wanted (micros her price 270 med 300 small )and let her know I’m coming welll driving two hours away.Therefore, everything will be ok when I make it . So I arrive around 12ish 1 noon to get there in She decided to change her price due to length of my hair . Which isn’t long at all ! So I refuse to pay an 30-40 extra ….. instead of losing a customer she decided she will go head and get the job done . Therefore , we both agreed on small mircos and braided pass my hair . Business goes on an hour or two pass I’m getting my hair braided. I was asked to pay which was no problem at all (business is business) So I asked to see my hair to be sure my braids were done correctly. Remind y’all I’m a braider with 10+ years under my belt at an African shop . To be continued I acknowledge the braider about her work and shows the owner (passy) . My front (top) of my head was perfect my back was giving medium box braids literally (the parting was not it). Which I had every right to say something when I’m paying for what I want. However , passy goes off yelling talking crazy being very unprofessional! Not to mention she assisted that they cut my braids out my head . As if I done something wrong ! And refuse my service because I wanted all my braids the same size which we agreed on . She yelling in stated she does everyone braids like that smaller in the front bigger in the back …. (LIKE HOW ? WHEN I WORK FOR THE AFRICANS MYSELF) After a while I gave her time to calm down . Because she didn’t know nor understand my reason for making a 2hour drive . Plus , she needed to know as a owner that was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! And I’m a braider from a near by African shop who been sending her customers for yearsssss When we to busy and can’t assist .(which she didn’t know me at all ! And I was treated as such ) . I decided to call the shop I braid for find out she knows us well . They spoke with her told her I’m good people she calms down and agree to get me right . On the behalf of my braiding family i stayed for business . since we were short handed and my circumstances (death in the family ) Business continues on my head with the same two individuals ( remind you she spoke with them and everything suppose been good ) . Again the braider at the top perfect the back braider supposed fixed the issue . So I’m letting them do their job (because no braider like a bugging customer). they braiding two more individuals gets on my head that makes four of them total on one head . I’m thinking maybe they finna take the ones she cut down. Basically I’ve been here long enough or they tryna save time for the other two braiders . Don’t y’all know instead of them taking the braids down that were cut. They added hair and continue braiding (RED FLAG ) at this point I’m over it . 8.5 hours later they finally finish I PAYS something said take a look at my hair (THE BACK )and the rest is history I DO NOT RECOMMEND NOBODY TO DO BUSINESS AT ALL WITH FIRST AFRICAN BRAIDING !!!!! They didn’t braid pass my hair they tried to act as if they didn’t see the braids they cut (IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHICH BRAID OVER ) after they had already dipped and curl my braids . Remind you this all after I had paid ! For them to tell me WE SORRY WE DIDNT SEE THE ONES THAT WAS CUT ! But how didn’t you ? When you simply braided my hair down to dip for curls …… BAD COMMUNICATION BAD SERVICE BAD BUSINESS! If I could post my pictures I definitely would so hold tight I may can ."

"I had my hair braided in small layered cornrows. This style usually takes 8 hours but they got it done in just 5! The shop was clean, everyone was professional and the prices are fair for the great quality of braids. I will definitely come again. ❤️"

"My braids are very beautiful. I got to the shop at 7 am was out before 11:45 am. I had locs,but I cut them off so I was eager to get braids. My only complaint is that my braids in the back are super tight! I usually just sit through getting my hair braided but the young lady who was in the back of my head...man I think she gripped a little too much because a week later I cannot put my hair in a ponytail and I'm not tender headed at all. Ladies let's just be mindful of wanting to grip all of the hair but not so tight that a client is squinting and closing there eyes because I did that alot and I was very still and quiet, but still great work."

"First African Hair Braiding takes walk-in customers. We walked in, and my daughter was seated immediately. They were very nice and patient with my daughter ❤️❤️"
