    Getting hair done by Anna

    Anna has attended two of our parties, and she's been fantastic both times! She's punctual, professional, and creates absolutely beautiful braids. She has a wonderful way of making each child feel special and beautiful with her work. Highly recommend!

    my daughter's hair by armine at anya braid bar!

    My daughter's 4th birthday was such a magical experience, we were thrilled to have Armine there! My little one is very fussy and difficult to deal with but Armine was so patient with her and all of the other kids. And her braids were so beautiful! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, Anya Braid Bar!

    Hired Anya braid bar for my daughter's 5th bday party - chose the Barbie set up- I couldn't be happier! Amazing service, super cute/professional braids and the girls were happy! I wish I had hired two stylists for the party b/c all the moms wamts braids too! Next year :)

    I always get my hair done here whenever I attend a big event or I'll be singing for a gig. Anya has always been accomodating and understanding of what I need for my look and . I've also had my hair done by Armina twice now, and she does a great job with my hair! She works very fast, I barely realize time has passed since she keeps me entertained with her skill and great conversation :) Updated review: 2020 Since i've been going here for about 2 years now, I felt it was such a natural choice to get Anna to do my hair for my wedding (mind you this was pre-shutdown : 03/14)!! And as expected - she absolutely did not disappoint. We did a few trial sessions prior to that and she was so patient and worked with me in finding a style I loved. On the day of the wedding, she came to my hotel and helped me get ready. She also did my MIL's hair and she was super satisfied with her simple yet elegant waterfall braid. The pictures will do the talking!

    Another amazing party with Anya Braid Bar. Their stylists are very patient and sweet with kids. Their braids are amazing. We love the color extensions and glitter!

    Schedule my appt online wks in advance for Saturday @ 10, July 27. Not knowing where it was I got to the mall at 940 and after 10 minutes found them. Made sure I came with freshly clean wet hair. 0950 employee arrived & immediately was preparing for the day. Greeted her and informed her I have appt.. She said nothing and had this look like she was not happy to be at work. Pray she was not going to braid my hair. 1010 another employee arrived & she was helping to get the stand ready for the day. Internet not working. Luckily for me I print my proof of my appt and had picture of how I wanted my hair done. By 1020 braiding started. Thank goodness it was not the lady whom was opening the stand attending to me. While employee attending to me the phone kept on ringing so she stop to answer by the 4th time the employee attending to me asked her coworker to answer since she was wrapping up & she ignored her. She didn't talk to just completely ignored her. I commend the person braiding my hair she balanced answering phone, customer service, braiding my hair & dealing with her coworker ignorance. Finished close to 12 would have been done sooner but late start mixed with answering phone. I was pleased. Braids lasted me from July 27 until Aug 5th. Received plenty of compliments & referred people. Highly recommend. Wish I got employees names. 4 star because of the employee who opened the stand appear bother she had to work and no sense of team ignoring her coworker & never answering the phone.

    I requested an appointment a week in advance for Armina at 10am for these pancake braids I saw from a reference picture. I was really glad that she was able to accommodate for me by coming in on a Saturday morning! She is such sweet and easy person to talk to. I also really appreciated that she took her time to make my parting and braids look super clean! The time went by so fast, I didn't realize 30 mins had already passed. I had a baby shower and a concert to go to in the same day and my braids stayed in place the whole day! Not even a fly away from my braid was out of place! My braid also felt super light weight. She was also kind enough to inform me about checking into their location for a percentage off my service AND explaining to me about their rewards program! The prices they have are unbeatable and they all do such an amazing job! I'll definitely be coming back here again! And seconds after I left they started getting a lot of customers at just 10 in the morning! I suggest you make and appointment because they get really busy. Anya's Braiding Bar is amazing! Thank you again Armina! You made my first experience here the best! I can't wait to come back :)

    Boxer braids with extension
    Jil R.

    This place is good for the value. I got the "boxer braids with extension" which are also known as kanekalon braids. I was able to get 2 colors for $52 and it only took one hour to complete. I have had kanekalon braids done before that came out better than these, but they also cost $85 and took 2.5 hours to do. These were good enough for me to save money. They didn't dip them in boiling water at the end which makes them less stiff and less likely to fray, so I ended up dipping them myself when I got home. You can look up how on YouTube.

    Great customer service. I had no idea we had to make an appointment and armine fit my daughter in which I am really grateful for and she had a full schedule . I definitely recommend these girls . Armine did a great job . Thank you!

    They do an amazing job! My daughter looked amazing with her boxer braids and colored extensions. She received so many compliments we will definitely be back!

    How can I do apopoinment with you?

    Hello! Since 2021 we only work at private events, no regular appointments. I'm sorry. Thank you,… Read more

    Hello! Have you guys reopened yet?

    When are you going to reopen the salon?

    Hi! We are planning to resume some appointments by the end of August. Thank you!

    Where in the mall are you guys located?

    Hello! We are located inside Nail & Hair bar on the 3rd floor next to Bloomingdale's.

    Hi, I just wanted to know if I wanted to book an appointment to have my hair done before the weekend of September 14th what's the best day/time to go in?

    Hello! You can see all available times and make an appointment online at www.anyabraids.com. Friday would be the best if you are getting it for the festival.

    Hi can you guys do the box braids for men?

    Hi! Yes we do but not more than 30.

    Hi, i was wondering if you provide hair extension with natural hair colors? I have medium length hair and i need to add more length and volume to my braided hair. Thank you.

    Hi! Yes we have one shade of blond and several shades of dark hair.

    All the photos I see are of people who have reasonably long hair. Are they able to braid in the hair extensions to create length for someone who has short pixie length hair?

    Hello, for cornrows we need at least 4" of hair length. All extensions that we add are braiding hair, so your hair has to be long enough to hold it. With pixie hair cut we probably can't do too much unfortunately.

    Hello, can the do the two full Dutch braises with the extensions?

    Hi, yes you can! We do recommend to make an appointment. The best way to do this at www.anyabraids.com. Just mention that you are getting full Dutch braids with extensions.

    How much is French braid?

    Hello, one French braid is $18. You can see prices for other styles on our website www.anyabraids.com

I booked an "Occasion Styling" appointment ($120) with Marie Kazarian for my Senior Prom after being recommended by a friend who had a positive experience at the salon for the same service. Two days before my appointment, Marie texted asking for photos of the styles I wanted. I sent two options, and she assured me she could do both. When I arrived, she asked to see my Prom dress and suggested we go with an updo instead of a half-up, half-down style. From the start, the appointment felt unprofessional. She didn't ask any questions about my hair type, texture, or how it holds style. She began curling my hair with a large-barrel curling iron but used no heat protectant or styling products. The curls fell out within minutes. When attempting the updo, it quickly became clear she didn't have a plan. The result was a stiff, messy bun with random pieces pinned awkwardly--completely different from what I had shown her. After two failed attempts, I asked her to switch to a half-up, half-down style, hoping it would be easier. At that point, I felt frustrated because I shouldn't have to lower my expectations when I'm paying for a specific look. Unfortunately, the second attempt was no better. She pulled my hair into an uneven ponytail with no teasing, shaping, or effort to match the reference photos. I became so upset that I started crying and texted my mom, who was sitting across the salon. My mom ended up stepping in to help guide Marie because it was clear she didn't know how to execute the style. The entire experience was incredibly upsetting. I spent the rest of the appointment in tears, and despite other stylists clearly seeing how distressed I was, as I made eye contact with various of them, no one offered assistance. When Marie's next client arrived, I had to leave with my hair unfinished and poorly styled. What stood out the most was how completely unapologetic Marie was throughout the entire appointment. At no point did she acknowledge that things were going wrong, offer a solution, or show any concern for how upset I was. Instead, she dismissed the situation by saying, "It's going to look better when you have your dress and makeup on," which only made things worse. I ended up going home and having to completely redo my own hair for Prom after paying $120 for a professional service. That alone says everything. I left the salon having paid for a hairstyle that looked nothing like what I requested and for one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. Marie came across as unprepared, inattentive, and completely unconcerned with client satisfaction. DO NOT BOOK WITH MARIE KAZARIAN!

I had an appointment on Saturday at Glamourax for hair and makeup before a gala. I was scheduled for 12:30pm for Hollywood waves and makeup. When I originally scheduled my appointment, there was a text exchange with Arax (the manager/owner) where she told me, "The girl who's really good at it is available at 12:30." She also confirmed that Sonna would be my hairstylist. Because of that, I felt confident booking the appointment and trusted I would be getting the Hollywood waves style I requested. For transparency, I will be attaching screenshots of the text messages from when the appointment was scheduled. When I arrived, Sonna was very sweet and kind. I showed her a photo of the Hollywood waves I wanted and trusted that she knew how to achieve that style. During the process there was a lot of hairspray and heat while curling, but I didn't question it because another client next to me was also getting Hollywood waves by a different stylist and her hair looked beautiful, so I assumed everything was going as expected. Unfortunately, when my hair was finished it looked like tight curls everywhere and nothing like the Hollywood waves in the photo I showed. For reference, my hair is medium length, a little past my shoulders, and the tight curls made it appear much shorter than it actually is. Sonna tried brushing the curls out after I mentioned a concern, but it still didn't resemble the style I had asked for. I was then moved to makeup, and I have to say the makeup artist Supo was AMAZING. She checked in with me during every step, asked if I liked what she was doing, and had me look in the mirror throughout the process to make sure I approved. I absolutely loved my makeup and would happily go back to her again if I ever need my makeup done. I left the salon feeling confused and unhappy about my hair, especially since I was getting ready for a gala. I'm not great with confrontation and didn't want to offend Sonna because she was genuinely kind, so I didn't speak up as much as I probably should have in the moment. After I left, I decided to call and see if anything could be done. Arax called me back quickly and was very responsive. I explained that it wasn't about a refund -- I just needed my hair fixed before my event that evening. She tried to see if anyone was available and even offered to pay for me to go somewhere else when the salon was fully booked, which I appreciated. Eventually they were able to have me come back in and two stylists helped me redo my hair. They were very kind and did their best to help on short notice. I ended up with beach waves instead of Hollywood waves, but it looked much better and I was grateful they made the effort to help before my event. While I was there the second time, one stylist sitting behind me seemed visibly frustrated and was staring at me throughout the appointment, which made the situation feel a bit uncomfortable. However, the two stylists who helped redo my hair were kind and professional, and I appreciated them taking the time to help. I also want to mention that Arax was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the whole process. She continued texting with me even after I left the salon the second time to check in and make sure everything turned out okay. I even sent her photos of my final look because I was happy with how everything came together in the end. That level of care and follow-up meant a lot. The salon itself has a really fun atmosphere, it honestly felt like being part of a big glam party while everyone was getting ready, and most of the staff were friendly and welcoming. My only recommendation would be to make sure the stylist assigned is comfortable with the specific style you're requesting. Since I had been told the stylist was "really good" at Hollywood waves, I had high expectations and was excited for that look for the gala. Overall, I appreciated Arax trying to make things right and I truly loved the makeup Supo did. I just wish the hairstyle I originally requested had been achieved.
