Christal African Hair Braid 3128 Western Branch Boulevard, Chesapeake, VA 23321

"Very old school, the products they use on my braids look like my grandma did it…I did not have that sleek look…never will I ever again at this place…how can ppl be unfriendly and do hair ugly?"

"To the sister who stated she couldn't get her deposit back after they told her they couldn't do the style she requested, a simple mention of a intended call to immigration and you will quickly get your money back. To the sister who complained of unsanitary practices of using the same combs etc. between clients, I say this. As a Medical professional I can tell you that is the purpose of state regulations requiring sanitization training and documentation of that training for any type of cosmetological services. The Health department and the state is your advocate for those concerns."

"Terrible place took over 8 hours to do sum simple knotless braids not impressed braids were too long"

"Ok. So I set a 9 am appointment sent the pic of what I wanted ahead of time and somehow on the day of, the hair conversation comes up. They don't have the hair I need for the style I sent and they ok'd before scheduling. Ok let that pass. So I get there at 9 am and there are at least 3 stylists in the shop who are all looking at me as if I walked into the wrong place after sharing that I had a 9 am appointment. So fast-forward I call my daughter to see how it's going at 11:30 and she tells me that she only has 1 row of twists complete after 2.5 hours at $220 mind you. So needless to say, I dropped everything that I had to do to get back to the shop to find the lady was literally starting the second row. Why only the second row after 2.5 hours? Because she stopped to braid two walk-ins. Did I say I had a 9 am appointment? So after the first lady finished 2/3 of my daughter's head another started with different size twist in a completely fifteenth direction of the original stylist. The parts were smaller and it was too tight. Oh yeah they were able to finish the rest of her head by 3:30 pm. So they turned a 3.5 hour twist job into 6.5 hours. 1st time there, Never again. Tip: Complete one job before starting the next and complete your appointments before taking a walk in"

"This is a very unsanitary braid shop I have ever gone to in Hampton Roads. The African ladies do not sanitize accordingly after braiding each customer's hair. I watched as they repeatedly use the same Combs, silver hair clips, blow dryer comb and brushes on each customer without proper cleaning. Here are a few pictures to show they do not have disinfected solution at any of their workstation, which further More prove what I am saying."
