D K & Amy African Hair Braiding 1431 Merchant Lane, Hampton, VA 23669

"I’m a little late but I’ve been getting my hair done here for years now along with my sisters. D K and Amy do amazing jobs and they are quick too. Very clean work space and truly nice people. They will work with you to get you what you want and pricing isn’t bad compared to other places I used to go too. Overall great experience and will be back again."

"They are amazing, I was able to get my hair done the next day of calling for any openings. Very fast and friendly. Awesome service I will be back!!"

"DK and Amy's African hair braiding shop is extremely clean, offering affordable prices and a comfortable atmosphere. I am absolutely thrilled with how my hair turned out. I have received numerous compliments! Not only do they work quickly and efficiently, but they are also incredibly friendly. I will definitely continue getting my hair braided at their shop."

"Dk has been braiding my entire family's hair for at least 15 years. She is always pleasant, prompt, and her skills are superb. It's very rare to come across a stylist that has the skills and customer service. I am always pleased with my braids. I just recently had micro braids installed and I have received so many compliments. Dk and Amy I salute you for always being consistent. Thank you so much."

"Please be aware! THEY DO NOT PROVIDE KNOTLESS SERVICES and they do not know how to do marley twist! I called and asked for Marley twist and I spoke with a lady named Amy. She informed me that I would need 3 packs of 3 bundles of Cuban Twist hair, seemed like a lot of hair, but okay. I bought the hair the night before but the store only provided single bundles. They only had 6 packs of individual bundles, so I had to go the morning of to get 3 more packs of hair $56. Style $200. When I arrived I found out that Amy was in fact not doing my hair, but Mrs. DK… she was nice but I was caught off guard because she wasn’t who I spoke with. She proceeded to do my hair and as she’s doing my hair she I keep telling her that I’m not use to my hair being so heavy or the twist being so big. Repeatedly. She kept telling me that once she dips the hair it will be lighter. Also I’m not use to the huge knots at the roots, she tells me that they don’t do Knotless. I was so disappointed because I knew my hair wasn’t going to be right. Every time I raised concern she tried to reassure me that it would be okay and that she’ll give me a discount or re-do my hair in the morning. I was in the shop from 9am to 3:30pm. The twist were neat but HUGE with big knots at the root and unimaginably HEAVY! I couldn’t put my hair up in a ponytail as the twist were bulky and some were braided to my scalp. I simply asked for some of my money back so that I could redo my own hair since she didn’t do Knotless nor could she grasp the concept of what I wanted. Amy offered me $40 and DK called back and offered $75. Not nearly enough but okay I’ll pay her for OUR WAISTED TIME. As I’m taking out my hair and redoing each braid one by one I realize that my hair had been cut and that an excessive amount of hair was used, which explained why my neck was hurting so bad. They wouldn’t return my money until I proved I took my hair out. From 8pm to 6:30 am I was up doing my own hair which I told her I was trying to avoid. I received the $75. DK was very apologetic but Amy kept trying to say that she told me they did not do Knotless or small Havana twist. I asked for Marley Twist and sent her photos. She they proceeded to say that she didn’t cut my hair. I didn’t use scissors to take my hair out as I reused the same hair!!! I took approximately 4-5 packs of unnecessary hair out of my head. DK was so nice but again she could not provide the service I wanted. I’m giving this establishment a 2 star review only because she was so nice. Amy should have communicated their service way better in the initial call and I wouldn’t have waisted my time or money. $181 down the drain between the “service” and wasted hair. So disappointing."
