Wumi hair braiding

"The stylist that did my hair was very careful with my natural hair. Would definitely recommend this place"

"I swore I would never get my hair braided again due to a bad experience. Though I never got my hair braided at Wumi, my daughter did, and every single style she did at Wumis was always immaculate. Since I was going on vacation, I decided to give it a try again. Wumis daughter braided my hair, and she did an awesome job. I got the knotless braids on the smaller end. They look awesome! Her daughters hands are so gentle. I would do over and over again, but only at Wumis."

"Love getting my hair done there and it the best and clean shop i have be inside compare to the other shops around in Albany"

"The shop isn't the most upscale but they get the job done. They do share brushes and combes between customers without washing them so that was a big concern for me. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. One thing that bothered me they do try to influence you to buy their hair. I brought my own and they kept saying it wasn't going to work because it was synthetic, and continued to try and sell me synthetic hair that cost more then the hair I brought, and had less bundles. That part didn't make since to me. My stylist was nice, but took a very long time due to starting and stopping to tend to her child. I understand how it can be. If your looking for a quick style I recommend this shop but if you want one with more detail or length I dont suggest it due to the starting and stopping. But over all my braids came out beautiful"

"Professional atmosphere and very clean. I didn't realize this establishment was considered an actual SALON. They are definitely pricey, but fast working. I took my daughter to get box braids and they charged $220 which was extremely high for what I'm use to paying. That's exactly what I get waiting until the last minute. The African salon we normally go to was closed and I usually only pay $160 for box braids. Come to find out, they include their own tip into the price of services. I paid the fee, but didn't give extra money. Do you know, the receptionist make a comment to the stylist then asked me how much i was told the services was and my reply was $220. The receptionist said to the stylist " You only get $20 for your tip". Yup sure do because I'm already paying over what I'm use too. For that reason alone, I have to rate them at a 3. Overall my daughter liked her hair. Oh yeah, YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I would go back just to see if they change the price, but it won't be for months.
