Claudette's Braiding Gallery 7505 New Hampshire Avenue, Takoma Park, MD 20912

"Sorry, gotta give you a 1 star this time. This is by far thee worse braiding style I've had. 3 weeks in and trust me when I say I stretched it to three weeks, and I'm already taking my individuals out. I drove 3 hours, my braider, Fatu was 30 minutes late and I end up with this mess."

"GO SOMEWHERE ELSE - for real. Gave it a chance - it was pretty bad, painful, overpriced, sad. Lied to about the pricing, owner told us one thing, braider another. Insanely and unnecessarily painful. It' possible we got the worst braider. I would hate to think it's worse than she was. The place is gross and junk, and I mean junk, everywhere. Unprofessional stylist, late, and then rushed and not dismissed about hair preference and length. The hair they use is worse than what you get for 3 dollars at the beauty supply. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE - life is too short to spend your money on trash and mistreatment."

"One of the best braiding experiences I’ve ever had! The braider did a fabulous job of braiding mine and my daughters hair! We walked in and was out in 5 hours with beautiful knotless braids! They lasted for months and we’re going back soon!"

"I have been getting my hair braided here for over 15 years. Claudette is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. Always on time and fast, beautiful work. At Claudette's, they don't rip out your edges unlike other braiding salons I have gone to before I came to Claudette's. My kids love her shop as well . They enjoy her parrots."

"I have been going to get my hair done with Claudette for over 25 years. She will always be my place to go. I look great and feel amazing when i leave her shop. My braids last way beyond time and thats up to you how long your hair last they can only advise you. Its left up to U. Pat McKinney forever a loyal customer.!!!!"
