"I had an awful experience here. For the first near hour of our appointment, she complained about the length of the hair i brought, even tho I had told her over text the exact amount of inches. She repeatedly complained to me, I mean repeatedly, even tho I was already here and couldn’t do anything about it. She eventually just cut it with my permission. I asked for Fulani braids, aka cornrows in the front and plats in the back. When I got there I asked her to do knotless for my plats in the back, and she asked me why I wanted knotless. I explained I wanted them because it looks between and doesn’t fall out, doesn’t hurt my scalp as much also. She kept repeating “knotless? Knotless, ok knotless. Okay” essentially implying she agreed to do it but just thought it was weird. Again she had said ok. Come to find out three rows in, she wasn’t doing my knotless as I had asked for WITHOUT communicating that to me. I suspected it wasn’t knotless bc I could feel the difference as she was doing them, but I assumed any reasonable person would say “oh I don’t do knotless” or “that will cost you extra”, but she said nothing and just did my hair ignoring my request. Throughout the braiding she was extremely rough, left hair out of the braids, and ripped my hair our with her careless parting. to fix the loosehair out of the braids she just snipped my hair off with scissors, so much for a "protective style". when she parted my hair she stabbed into my scalp instead of running the rattail across, so it felt like she was trying to cut my skull open with every part. she braids extremely tight, i have been in so much pain because of this appointment, more so than with other braids i have gotten done. she also spent 3 hours straight yelling on the phone as she ripped through my hair, braiding with knots against my wishes. i couldnt hear myself think for 3 hours because she literally had no inside voice and was yelling on the phone; I started to get a headache it was that bad. at one point she talked about me and my hair and how i requested knotless on the phone with me there, thinking i wouldnt understand her because she spoke french. Extremely unprofessional. all in all, she braids very roughly and painfully, and does not have any respect for the client. she also only has 9 reviews which are all 5 stars so she must be deleting them because that does not add up. the ONLY good thing to report is that she charges less than other people i called, but if you can afford to pay that extra 30-50$ and go somewhere else i would. this was so damaging to my hair and scalp that i have worked hard to take care of."
