    Passion twist braids by Maleea
    Tasha M.

    If you have not tried Braids-N-Motion out for your hair care needs you are truly missing out on blessed hands. They not only do braids, twist, weaves and shampoo/press/curls but also have services for those with hair loss. I just got my passion twist in this past week, so the pics loaded are 1 week old! I purposefully waited to load the pics just so people can understand the quality of Maleea and Tesla's hair care when it comes to their clients. You will not find a better hair care salon in Los Angeles that truly cares for their clients.

    Got my first sew-in from a girl named Aleecia here. She wasn't super helpful when I would message her asking questions. I even sent her the closure I was going to order for her approval and she said it was fine. Then when I arrived for the day she charged me extra saying I ordered the wrong one when it was ordered from the links on her website and I even had it approved by her. Then she didn't have the hair the day I booked when I booked 2 1/2 weeks in advance so I tried to reschedule me for the next day and said anytime after 11:30am then persisted to say she couldn't do the same time I had scheduled the day prior which was 4pm (like girl I work too) then when I arrived at the salon (on time) I was ignored by the ladies inside for 5 mins then they greeted me and told me Aleecia wasn't even there! She arrived 20 mins late after I had told her I left work to come here and would need to get back to work after this and she said "I'm still on the freeway, their is traffic" no apologies or anything. Then when she gets there doesn't greet me or anything just says "come to the back." The entire process I had no idea what was going on, nothing was explained which I thought she would especially after I told her I've never had a sew-in. She only talked to tell me she was gonna charge me more because I got a frontal closure instead of a regular closure when in her DMs she said frontal closure. Also after I left it was already lifting on the sides and she covered my whole ear with hair, it was uneven on the sides. So not only did she not have the hair on the day of my appointment (I booked at closure sew in w/ bundles fyi) she was late, charged me extra for her mistake and had terrible customer service. My friend's did tell me later she does influencers so I guess if you aren't an influencer you get treated like shit even though you are paying the same amount as them. Worst experience, just needed to share this so others know. DONT BOOK WITH HER.

    I had my granddaughter's braids redone at this salon. They were beautifully done in only an hour and half! I definitely will have my granddaughter as a returning customer.

    Maleea did a beautiful set of braids on my daughters hair. They look so pretty, straight, and tight. And she worked very quickly but took the time to explain things and answer our questions. And the fees are very reasonable! We look forward to trying out lots of different styles here.

Response time is great and communication is great. The stylist I was set up, Tonya, I believe.. (correct me if I'm wrong). She did AMAZING. I had surgery a few years ago and it took a very long time to grow out my hair again, I have very thin Asian hair. I let her know I wanted it short, showed her an inspiration picture and asked her opinion. I originally kind of wanted a side-swept bixie (pixie bob cut). She advised me what would look best for my face and hair health and I'm so glad to have gone with her recommendation. I love it. Will be coming here again for maintenance on it.

The place was full of beautiful women getting their hair done. There was good music playing in the background. Talk about vibes lol. I absolutely intend to go back. Prices are very reasonable! Great service!

    I had high hopes for this establishment and I really wanted to like this place. I was so excited…read morefor my appointment. Unfortunately not only was the customer service horrible but so was the service provided to me. While expressing what I wanted to get done I confirmed with Chohee if it was achievable. She said absolutely! I was thrilled and excited and said lets do it, we agreed on a price $400. I thought it was a bit pricey but said I deserve to treat myself. I was sitting in that chair for 4 hours. My phone died. I was hungry and thirsty. No one asked if i needed anything or check up on me. She was attending other clients and overall I felt neglected throughout the whole process. Despite the poor treatment and feeling of abandonment, i still had high hope that I would receive my new look and it would all be worth it. I stayed calm, kind and patient. She then revealed the final result and it was not what I had asked for. I pulled up the reference picture and said to her "I was going more for this look, is this it or were you still working on my hair?" No attitude, no negative tone, just a question. She suddenly got defensive and said she did not appreciate me saying "is this it?" And that she felt insulted. I apologized to her and said "that wasn't my intention it's just that I've been sitting here for hours expecting a different result that we discussed and agreed to." She said if I wanted that look then it would be another $300 and probably another 2 hours. I was shocked. She changed the price from what we discussed and at this point I felt like she was trying to take advantage of me. As Chohee was finishing the final steps of my appointment she was extremely cold, and unpleasant to be around. I felt VERY uncomfortable. I felt like i was beings reasonable and accommodating the whole appointment and to be treated so poorly really disappointed me and made me feel so small. Definitely won't be coming back here.

I've never done that for any other stylist before but Angela is such an honest and talented woman who only uses high quality stuff for such an affordable price. Not just that but she's an angel. I told her she could work as a therapist on the side because talking to her is always so therapeutic and she's so insightful. She makes me feel refreshed inside and out! She always gives me the haircut and color I want and I leave with silky shiny hair. She gives great advice in both life and hair. Korean is her first language which I kind of speak but she also understands English. Absolutely adore her and her work. She also styles your hair for you at the end!! Normally other places charge you $50+ just for blow drying it but she won't rip you off like that. Parking is also very easy in the huge lot next to buy buy baby which is closed down but you can google maps there. Location is inside salon republic and she'll send you a picture and directions if it's your first time. She's super flexible and honestly she's the best you'll find!

I'm very happy with the result. Angela takes great pride in her craft. She discusses your wants.. her suggestions and then incorporates those two to meet your expectations. I also love and appreciate that she's punctual and dedicates her time to each client per appointment. I've been to many salons whereas they make you wait 30 minutes or even longer than your appointment time then rushed to get their job done because another appointment was waiting ‍. Her beautiful, clean and cozy salon is located inside the Republic Salon, suite 509, in the city of Torrance.

    Nori is one of the finest stylists you can frequent…read more He has a meticulous attention to details and I super appreciate his precision cuts. He services his scissors in Japan semi-annually just to maintain his equipments in great condition. This helps prevent split ends and other hair troubles I used to frequently encounter. Nori also uses a scale to formulate the hair colors. You can feel assured you won't come out of the salon looking funky. Appointments can be made online directly from his website, or by emailing/texting him directly. He is very flexible and accommodating with appointments. Lastly, parking can be found adjacent from the salon building structure. You can also charge your EV for free too. Amex accepted and drinks and clean environment offered. Can't recommend Nori enough.

    I went in to get a perm and cut…read more The vibe was very nice. Very respectful. His space was very clean and tidy with what seems, state of the art tools. I have had fine hair all my life, but even still my hair has always taken well to perms, always. Even the last one over a year ago. The only complaint I had was the use of larger rods which made my hair more wavy curl than curly. Nori had said that my hair wouldn't take well to a perm, but because I know my hair's history, I asked him do it anyway and he agreed to do it. First he used a more gentle solution because of my pervious perm over a year ago (did not ask if I wanted that), and I didn't know until he was already in the process of using it on my hair... my hair needs the stronger solution. Second he did a loose curl wrap instead of a tight curl wrap. With fine hair (or at least my hair) it needs to be curled up against the scalp. I think he did this because it was a hot treatment perm (which I never had before) vs a cold treatment perm. He didn't give an option. So the perm came out ok on the bottom because it already had the previous perm that was there from a year ago. But the top part of my hair had virtually no difference. If you have fine hair and looking to get a perm, I would not recommend Nori. I'm sure he does really well with all other hair services. To his credit, the perm itself, aside from the lack of curl, was a healthy perm (did not harm my hair) and he did give a very nice cut prior to the perm process. I think if he would have explained his treatment process and how it differed from what I had previously experienced, that may have helped my decision to go elsewhere, before wasting over $200 I had taken a year 1/2 to save. Again I think he probably does really well with the other services he provides. I just think for women (or men) with fine hair, you may want to think twice if you're looking to get a perm.

I brought in example/ inspo photo (just simple long layer cut) and asked for face framing pieces and showed it to the stylist, but the stylist barely looked at the photo. My hair looked nothing like the photo I showed, and it was cut much shorter than expected and the end feels choppy. I gave it more chance by washing and drying the day after, but it's overall disappointing. I had mentioned a few times I want to keep it longer like the picture I showed, but it wasn't heard. I couldn't say much more once the stylist made the very first snip and had to go along with it. It became even shorter by the end. I wish the stylist had been more proactive about the consultation before proceeding with the cut. I got an impression that the stylist wanted to get through the hair cut session as a quickly as possible. This was for upcoming graduation, so it is more disappointing. Again, very nice lady. Not too sure if it's just one time issue!
