I've been going to my hairstylist for years, and I truly couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. She is professional, talented, patient, and always makes me feel comfortable and confident every appointment. No matter the style, color, or look I want, she always brings my vision to life and keeps my hair healthy at the same time. What I appreciate most is the consistency and care she puts into her work. She pays attention to detail, listens to what I want, and always goes above and beyond. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she also creates such a welcoming and positive experience every time. I always leave feeling beautiful and refreshed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hairstylist who truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work! read more

I just want to say thank you again for doing such an amazing job on my son (5years old first time getting braids and my daughters hair! The wash and blow dry was gentle and professional, and the braids came out so neat and clean. Their hairstyles lasted all month long and still looked good weeks later. She was patient with the kids, fast, and made them feel comfortable the whole time. I definitely recommend her if you want quality work that actually lasts! read more

Cute and convenient will be my go to !!! K2 books open up every 1rst of the month @ 9 am and they fill up fast ! Thank you later read more

I've booked with her multiple times. Twice for myself and once for my son, so this is based on repeated experiences, not a one-time issue. I'll start with the only positive: her braiding technique is good. She clearly has skill. But everything else about the experience is extremely trash. Her reliability is a major problem. Appointments get rescheduled last minute, sometimes without proper notice, and there have been instances where appointments were canceled altogether. What makes it worse is the clear pattern- if a "celebrity client" comes up, regular clients get pushed aside like they don't matter. That kind of inconsistency makes it impossible to trust her with your time. On top of that, the way she communicates is unprofessional and, at times, uncomfortable. There's a tone that comes off dismissive and disrespectful, like you're inconveniencing her just by being there as a paying client. I even witnessed her yell at a client through the door for simply trying to enter the building, which was honestly shocking. That kind of behavior says a lot about how she treats people. At the end of the day, talent doesn't excuse poor business practices. Being skilled but unreliable, inconsistent, and disrespectful to clients is a serious issue. I gave her multiple chances, and each time confirmed the same thing that there's a lack of professionalism and respect. If you value your time, clear communication, and being treated properly as a client, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else. read more

I have been getting my hair braided by K2 since 2015. When I first encountered K2 she braided my hair phenomenally. Every single braid, part and treatment was exceptional. Due to her craft and care, she has been braiding my hair ever since. Each time I stop by the shop, there's a calm aura that helps each appointment result in a positive experience. I truly appreciate her and her art and would say to anyone looking for LA's finest braids...come to K2! read more

Been coming here for some time now, I use to bring my son, now I come for myself. Always appreciate the hospitality. Friendly atmosphere. Always looking forward for my next appointment. read more

My son has got his hair braided by her before. My complaint is that she often reschedules. This time I have a braid appointment for my son FOR A HOLIDAY & not only does she change the appointment. She also asked me to go to a further location in Long Beach. Deposits are nonrefundable but I feel like it should be if you're constantly changing things such as location and date and time. Feels like a scam and we won't be coming back. read more

I used to follow K2 when I had Instagram years ago and remembered her when I came across her info. She's braided my sons hair twice and we love her. She's professional, neat, and very quick. Her place is homey & her styles include wash which I thank God for. I was looking for a consistent braider we can stick with and let's say, we found her !!! read more

The service was magnificent. The shop is clean and quiet. My braids are beautiful and I have gotten many compliments.

I had my first visit to K2 Braids this past Saturday November 28th. Initially I wasn't sure how my experience would turn out. But, I was impressed with her website pretty clear on pricing and styles. I spent over a year trying to find the braider who did what they promised. If you're like me I look at consistency and proof of a product and I compare and look at customer reviews. I didn't really look at K2 Customer Reviews because I was very impressed with her work and website clarity. The other thing I like is she responds fairly quickly I mean like within the hour quickly. I have nothing negative to say about this young lady. She's meticulous, her shop is clean, its quiet she adheres to the covid protocol. I'm very tender headed and I have very thin to zero hair on top...she wasn't rough, she wasn't insulting, she was very knowledgeable and gentle on my head. Hands down by far she's a very good braider. I've been to many some good some not so good but Kiesha (I may have spelling wrong) is very good at her craft. I highly recommend especially if you have problem areas like alopecia, balding and thin hair. read more

Honestly I have been here twice to get my hair done , and the reason why I haven't in a while is because she is ALWAYS BOOKED. Both time I have been to get my hair braided she was so professional , on time and did not hurt me not once . She actually cares about your hair so if you ask for a style maby that won't look good or your hair length or texture won't look good she always suggest something else . I love that a lot because I am regrowing My hair out from a short hair cut and also have a big ass forehead and she always does justice for my Hair length and forehead lol. ALSO if she tells you a style is gonna take a certain amount of time she ain't lying , very precise and plays the best music while you getting your hair done !!' read more

Found me a new salon!! I made one phone call today and Myi asked when I wanted to come in and I said as soon as possible and to my surprise she literally told me to come right then. Myi did a great job with my crotchet braids and I most definitely will be going back. Shout out to the owner K2 - love your studio! Thanks again ladies. read more

My experience at K2 Braid Studio was fantastic! I got my hair braided for the first time by Myi and she is amazing. The price includes a wash and condition and she gave me advice on how to take care of the braids as well as my natural hair. She also let me know which products would suffice to do the job. She even helped me decide what hair to use to perfect my look. I also got to choose what to watch on TV . My braids are exactly what I asked for and the time went by so fast because she is hilarious! Will definitely be returning. read more

K2Braids was awesome. I had some trouble trying to find a good braider in LA. But I think I lucked up with K2braids. My appointment started @9am, she was on time and started on my head exactly @9am. She was professional and quick too was done @10:30am. I wish I would have found her sooner while I'm in Cali. I definitely would recommend K2braids. read more

I discovered K2 in 2015 on instagram. Yes, if you're reading this. I'm that diligent searcher, looking at picture after picture, reviews, what the comments say. My edges never come out but grow when she braids them. She is definitely YOUR braider. That timing that she says it will take for your braid style is ACCURATE. She knows how long her styles last that she does. How much new growth approximately you will have! That takes years and clients to know. She's not average, BEYOND that. She is conversational and hospitable. I am always, always happy and never second guess my satisfaction when I leave! read more

I have been getting my daughter's hair braided by k2 since she was 1 year old. She is now 8 and due to k2's diligence and gifted hands my daughter's hair remains very healthy!

We love k2 braids and will continue to support all of her business ventures. read more

I came across K2s skills while simply working at a pinks beauty supply , she has a special way of braiding , all of her clients that came to buy hair had extremely neat and healthy hair , not only did they have beautiful hair . These people had nothing but positive things to say about this women . I tested my luck and booked me an appointment. All I can say is since I've been going to Miss K2 braids. My hair has changed Miraculously. And I more than positive I've found my special hair stylist ! Book ! BOOK ! BOOK ! read more

She very creative, neat, and does not braid tight but hairstyles last longer than expected. K2 is very prompt with appointments. She's always ready & on time and will have you in & out.
