    Medium box braids, length mid back.
    Olivia B.

    I visited earlier today and I absolutely LOVE how my box braids turned out! 5 star , A+. First off, I arrived at 1:30pm for my apt. and had to wait about 1/2 hour to get a chair which I expected, and didn't have a problem with as I didn't have anywhere to be. (In my visits to salons typically have to wait at least 15 mins as there's no surprise apts. can run longer than expected) I got seated with Crystal a little after 2pm. I showed her a picture of the style I wanted, explained the thickness I wanted and we talked about the color of hair to use. I asked about the price to confirm upfront and thought it was really fair/good considering my hair is pretty long (I'm mixed black/Mexican girl,so my hair sits around my chest as is). She started right away after blending the hair color, and I was surprised how fast she braided! In a little over an 1 hour, about 1/2 my hair was done! She anticipated 3 -4 hours, but with her speed it was a good sign I wouldn't be there all afternoon. :) She finished right before 5pm. (Started really at 2:30pm) so in about 2.5 hours, BOOM she was done! My hair looks BOMB! Very happy with how it turned out and I will be back! I left a tip on top of the total, and they charge a 4% card fee, but I wasn't mad at it. Thank you Crystal! I'd love for you to do my hair again! Also, I purchased the hair accessories for my braids next door at the beauty supply store for $1.49/$2.99! Excited to bring my daughter here to get her hair braided in the future.

    I'm giving Grace a three star because she is very nice and friendly, but when it comes to doing different ppl hair you should be careful what you say with a shop full of ppl she jus kept saying my hair was very short which I I understand but don't make me feel bad about I come to feel comfortable and uplifting I feel like $110 my hair shouldn't be coming up already when I got it done July 3rd and it's only been a week feel like I over paid and plus she overbook herself, she's jus in it for the money and she don't have a passion to really do hair but hey if your in a rush and in need of last minute braids this is the place but ion think I'll never return . My hair shouldn't be nappy after a week

    Great customer service fast Braider. Got small/medium knotless braids and I was done in 1 hour 45 minutes top. Will definitely be back. Grace was so nice

    Moving south I had to find all new hair stylists. I've been to Grace three times and have been satisfied with my results. Grace works fast and is flexible with her schedule. Her shop is family operated and the are all sweethearts.

    Box braids

    I tried this place for the first time today. I have been getting my hair braided since I was a kid so I consider myself an expert when it comes to braids and braiding salons. I reached out to the owner via yelp and she was VERY responsive to my messages. She was polite and extremely professional. I ended up getting box braids and I was prepared for the usual 4-6 hrs to get them done. Once I arrived it was easy for the ladies to get started. They began my hair at 9:27 and I left the salon at 11:17. Yep I looked at my watch on purpose because I wanted to see how long it would take. I have never gotten box braids done that fast in my life!!! The prices are the usual prices you can expect for braids. I am so glad they are near me but I will definitely be back.

    I like sew ins. Grace and her team are excellent

    Grace and her ladies always does a great job, I've been going to her for over 2 years now and my experience has been always good. It's always packed with clients so always have enough time on your watch but she's always on top of things. Anybody looking for a proper african hair Braider I would say Grace has what it takes and try her. Her price is pretty affordable. Great location too.

    While leaving Atlanta, I was on a whim and decided I wanted to get my hair braided. I called two shops prior to Ms. Grace but her kind spirit over the phone led me to commit to her salon. I appreciated the fact that she includes the hair in her prices. Upon arrival, I was pleased to see I was the only client. I had three women working on my hair and they knocked down my box braids in three hours. Crazy!! I also appreciated the fact that Ms. Grace mentors the other women and cares about your hair. She includes sample sizes of braids / twists and will not commit to the braids until client and stylist agree the size is proper. If and when I am ready for more braids, I'll definitely be coming here! This is probably the first positive experience I've had at a braiding salon in a long time.

    After reading a few reviews on Yelp I decided to try Grace's Shop. Overall, I am happy with the outcome. I called the day before and was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. When I arrived it was a full shop but I did like the fact that I was able to get put into a chair right away. I will admit it took more than 30 minutes for them to get started but considering how busy it was I was okay with the adjustments they attempted to make to get me started on time I started with one woman who I actually enjoyed but I think she was a little heavy handed for my head. Based off the look on my face Grace must have caught wind that I may have been discomforted. She immediately pulled the woman I. Such a way that it didn't make a sense and gave me someone else. As the second person begin it was smooth sailing. Once a third woman finished the head she was doing she came over to assist on my head. All in all I had two ladies maybe 50% of the time which wasn't bad at all. It took about 4 1/2 hours total to complete including the 30 minutes I waited in the chair. I'm happy with the time frame. Areas of opportunity for this shop. While I can say Grace seems like a wonderful woman and it's clear she is running a shop where she wants to be customer focused there are a few areas that I think could use a little TLC. 1. Cleanliness: The shop was quite cluttered and it didn't appear cleaning happen through out the day which means by 1pm (my arrival time) there was a lot of hair on the floor. 2. Sanitization: The cape that was put on me was the same cape taken off another woman right before my eyes. In addition I believe the comb used to part my hair was used on another customer. Lastly, I noticed that workers were going from one head to another without washing their hands. All of these actions are highly concerning for safety reasons considering they were not washing anyone's hair, even so.... each customer should have clean tools and the workers should wash there hands going between heads. This is my reason for 4 stars instead of 5. However, I think all of these are simple fixes with a little training. I still would recommend this spot. I believe Grace is a honest woman trying to provide honest services! I would go back and try them again.

    I got micro spring twist done 8hrs it took.

    I've been going to Mrs. Grace since 2019. My hair never comes out and they always get me in and out. Price wise I'll pay whatever she says because they always do a good job.

    Tony N.

    Price was fair and my braids were on point! Have recommended many others and they have all been pleased as well.

    Grace saved the day! I had an appointment elsewhere and they stood me up I contacted grace and she got me in the same day! I was leaving for out of town the next day so I had to get my hair done and she accomplished everything I asked for! I'm so thankful I found her and will be back!

    A few weeks ago, after reading the reviews and having been familiar with the Frederic Fekkai…read moresalons, I came for a 1" trim to my long-time, blunt-cut, medium-length (3 inches below the chin), slightly angled bob, beveled a bit underneath at the nape. It was quickly dried and styled in center or side parts, with lots of volume, lift and swing. Elegant and easy. Derek said he couldn't understand me. I should have left immediately. What I have now is an inexplicable cut, 2-5 " off, barely chin length, huge amounts of hair removed, wispy layers everywhere, and texturizing. He has activated a mass of waves and curls never seen before. From the front, the shape is a cartoonish wide diamond. From the sides, a fat wedge. This is the opposite of what is required for copious, European, fine, porous hair with a nape curl and minimal wave. Derek basically has created a White girl Afro. He somehow dried it beautifully, disguising the weird architectural structure by using a tiny brush on myriad narrow strands, drying them straight, and contorting them via elaborate manual sculpting techniques, product and nearly an hour of work. Maybe he planned to do twice-weekly blowdries on it. I have spent many days and dollars elsewhere experimenting with product, techniques and professional advice while attempting to cope. Derek pleasantly refunded the charges and apologized for the "inconvenience." This is far worse than inconvenient.

John is knowledgeable in different types of cuts, colors, and types of hair, so if you're unsure whether he will know how to deal with your hair, don't be -- HE WILL KNOW! Not only that, his prices are cheaper than others. I've scoured Google and Yelp for a few days and decided that I absolutely wanted to go with him because he had all good reviews, shows his cuts and styles on Instagram, and is booked for months out. Because of this, it's best to schedule a haircut online with him -- you'll be able to find last-minute openings. John is patient, knowledgeable, and kind. He's there to give you a haircut, but he's also there to spread some knowledge. He showed me how he was cutting my hair and why he was doing it. His consultation was also very helpful, especially because I didn't know anything about hair and how to style it. I wanted to change the way my hair looked in both style and color, and John was there to give feedback and what he thought was in my best interest. I felt like he should have charged for his consultation because he spent a GOOD amount of time providing advice and feedback, time that's worth money, especially when I was his last client for the day and it was getting late. Because he didn't charge extra for consultation, I provided a good tip. What I wish beforehand, which isn't really John's fault, is how to enter the building. It was late, so the door was locked -- luckily, there was someone who let me in. If you ever encounter this situation, just text John and he'll come open the door for you! Overall, I believe I am a permanent client of John's. My husband loves my hair and believes that John did a really good job, especially for the price you're paying. I highly recommend John!

The only thing we were clear on in the end is that the cut and style were sub-par, and that I did NOT want to pay.
