Let's start with the only reason this was the place I ended up getting my nails done, it was a…read moreSunday and a holiday weekend. My normal spot is closed on Sundays ( I didn't know I usually go during the week). So I read some reviews and by the time I was on my 4th salon, I finally found one that was open. I called soon after they opened, told them I needed a mani, pedi- for my wedding. Told the guy working on my pedicure a few times it was for my wedding. Let's start with the good. They have TONS of colors. Although not all of the colors are sampled.. so you really have to go with the color on the bottle and hope that's the actual color you want. Also I was offered a drink (water, soda, or wine) I choose wine, which was a sweet white. Now for the bad. My appointment started about 15 mins late, slightly annoying but not that big of a deal. The water started an ok temperature but I was left sitting for so long it was cold by the time my pedicure got started. Then the guy literally scrubbed my skin right off.. on the side of my foot where I don't have ANYtype of callus (see picture) he also did that to the bottle of one of my toes. Then there is a toe that isn't glossy and looks faded. So we move up to get my nails done. I really wish I had a picture of what he originally did. I showed him a picture and said I wanted my nails to look exactly like the picture. Size, shape, color.. everything. So he starts to shape my nails.. now mind you I have very short natural nails.. and none are really the same length. So he's shaping them and I remind him that I want them to look just like the picture. The length too. Then he said "oh that needs tip" I said that's fine. Then he got up walked to another nail tech and then they both turn to me. The other ones waves me over.. so I get up and go to his station. I show him my picture and he says " oh I thought you wanted a manicure". I said I guess I didn't know what it was called but that I wanted my nails to look just like the picture. Then he did my nails in like 15 mins. The sloppiest I've ever gotten them done. They are a consistent shape, they are alllll too long and much longer then the image and not the same color I showed- these have like a hot pink hue I wanted like a baby blue (see image) At this point I had been at the nail salon for over 2 hours and really wasn't happy with any of the work. Then I found out that my total was $150. Never got a breakdown. Oh and did I mention they also made me bleed in 3 places of my cuticles. I can't believe these will be the nails I have for my wedding. I can only hope I save someone else from spending their money here.

I figured that the off-putting "greeting" was probably due to a language barrier, but little did I know it would get much worse. So the pedicure itself was okay, my nails look alright, but it was very brief considering what it costed. The tech who did it seemed like she was racing to finish even though there was only one other customer there. She didn't even let my feet soak for more than a few minutes, didn't ask me what shape I wanted my nails in or if I wanted them cut, she barely filed them, it was a mad rush. They even rushed me to pick a color. It was so bizarre! The woman who was at the door was snippy, pushy and even tried to tell me what color to get-unbelievable! Terrible Presentation: When I walked to the back where the pedicure chairs are, I immediately saw junk on the floor, boxes-some opened, some unopened. And boy was I sorry when I had to use the bathroom which they also use as a storage closet-it had more dusty boxes, junk, vacuum cleaners, etc. I'm sorry that I spent any of what was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon in this place. This is the first time I've ever had to write such a negative review but they earned it!

I finally had money to splurge on a pedicure, and this used to be my spot. No longer. The woman who…read moredid my pedicure was fantastic, and my toes look great. When she was done, I handed her the cash for the pedicure plus a rather large tip. As I was leaving, the male manager chased after me, wanting to know where the money I owed him for my service. I told him I paid the woman, and he had the gall to ask bout the tip! She came running up to the front of the store, explaining that I had paid, and given her tip as well. By then, everyone in the salon was staring at me like I had stolen something. My guess is that the manager didn't want give her the whole tip, and wanted to keep some for himself! So, no, I will never go back there, as I think the manager is holding back the salon employees tips, and was totally rude to a PAYING CUSTOMER.

I do not recommend this salon to anyone because I feel like they treat people differently if you don't look the part , if you get what I mean and it's not my first experience my daughter had the same experience when she went, but I watched them do other people's feet differently. It took her every bit of 5 minutes to Complete the manicuring of my toes. when I told her she did not touch my heels in the bottom of my foot. She said she did when I know if you touched them. She should not have argued with me. She just should have did the service that I requested which was a pedicure which is what I did not get. I still paid them the $40 and left, but that's the last $40 he will ever get from me. Horrible and unprofessional! I wish I could give zero stars I almost forgot to add the lady's name her name is Vivian.

My youngest wanted bright colors and the hair I brought from Amazon evidently was no good. They have a hair store attached so they're able to supply a variety. They were able to provide something she loved included in my price. They are honest about pricing. And their professional opinion on what will work. They always have someone available when I arrive to begin immediately, and somehow it takes less time than most other braiding places. There is a wonderful energy of community among the stylists and their accommodating to needs: sharing phone, chargers, and being more delicate with my sensitive hair child. No shop can get everything right all of the time, but we are pleased with our experience each time. Tess African Braid Salon, you've got my recommendation.

After she completed my hair and put my hair in a partial ponytail a twist fell out. She picked it up off the floor and retwisted the section. I knew at that point that things would go down hill. She finished around 4:30PM. After the twist were completed she attempted to curl my ends. After the rods were removed I pointed out that that there were straight ends. She had to then redip the twists that were straight. She still did not get a consistent curl on the ends. When I arrived home and really inspected her work I cried. I had just spent alot of money to get my hair done and was not pleased. The twists were already slipping and I still had some straight ends. I immediately sent a text to the salon to let them know how upset and unhappy I was with my hair. I even sent pictures. I was losing my twist as each day passed. I started to place the hair in a plastic bag so that I could show the owner just how bad it was. I didn't restyle the twisted style for fear I would lose more twists. After 1 month I took out the twists that were left because it looked so hideous! No one ever contacted me from the salon about my complaint. However another family member went to get regular braids and saw a sign up that says" No Refunds." I understand that braiding or twisting styles are time consuming. However, I also owned a salon and realize that quality and customer satisfaction are keys to continued success. I am very disappointed that the situation was ignored and my money was in a sense thrown away. I was a regular client but will not be returning to this salon. It is unfortunate.
