I called and she took me as her last appt for the day. After the session was done, i was amazed by what she did and had no regrets in getting my hair braided. I'm so glad she did such a good job that I am looking forward to get another braid in the future with a different design. I definitely would recommend her to others!

She put 5 braids in his hair look at pic. She charged us $85!!!!!!! Her and her daughter didnt wear masks. They did have us wash our hands right when we entered the salon. Never again $85 is down right ridiculus for 5 braids!!! Im pretty sure this could have been done for $30-$50 at the most!! For 5 braids. My son looks good, however I walked out feeling like i got robbed.

I've come here twice now for a haircut with Emma as my stylist, my hair is still a work in progress…read moreso I'll update my review when Emma has finished working her magic :) First a little about me... I'm a (newly) retired Air Force officer. I used to be perfectly satisfied with the $5 hair cuts I'd get on base 25 years ago. The haircuts would take just a few minutes and I'd be on my way and good to go for at least 8 weeks. After I left active duty and went into the reserves I transitioned to the places like SuperCuts were I was also perfectly happy with my haircuts for about $20 including tip. Then recently a buddy of mine said he had a "hair appointment". I initially thought: "What? Dudes have hair appointments? What's this about?" When I saw his finished haircut I was intrigued - I asked him about it and he gave me the card for this salon. I thought I'd give it a shot and so far I'm glad I did. Emma and Tre Sorelle are a cut above anything like Super Cuts (no pun intended). Instead of something like "our records show you're a # 2 on the sides and a #4 in the back", Emma actually remembered me when I returned for my second haircut month after my first. At that point, my hair had not grown much and she recommended we make that session just a free touch up to clean up the sides and back. My first haircut was $35 plus tip and worth every penny. It was the best my hair had looked in, well, ever. She said to give it three full haircuts for her to achieve her vision as it takes time to shape the growing patterns of my hair, but I can see its heading in the right direction. Emma is super personable and great to talk to during my haircut which also included a shampoo before and rinse afterwards. I also had to reschedule my second haircut the day of due to an unexpected conflict and the salon was totally cool about it and got me in the following Saturday. I'm already looking forward to coming back for my second "full" haircut in a week or two.

The worst coloring experience I've ever had. A month ago, I had an appointment in this salon. I've…read morebeen using the same brand for coloring my hair for more than 9 years. I used to do my hair in another salon in Tacoma. But my colorist went on vacation and her substitute didn't seem to get what I wanted. So, I decided to try another salon. To begin with I asked for a color chart to show exactly what I want. The colorist Sarah (the owner) said that she is "not comfortable" with showing me the color chart. It was surprising for me, but I managed to find a picture of me with the color I wanted on my hair. Then I asked which developer she was going to use. That was very important for me to discuss because there were previous unfortunate cases when colorists used the wrong developer, and I ended up with the "hot roots" and didn't have time to fix that. The colorist was very reluctant to discuss that as well. Then I asked her about the formula she was going to make and again got the same answer that she is "not comfortable" with telling me that. It was so weird! I used to discuss my options with the colorists and know exactly what was being put on my hair. Nobody ever had any issues with that. But I decided to agree with that as well because I really needed to do my hair, and I'd waited for that appointment 2 weeks and I had to pay a nanny to stay with my kid while I was on that appointment. I didn't want to waste that time and money for nothing. In a couple minutes another colorist came to me and said that they were not going to do my hair because they were again "not comfortable" with that. That was unbelievable! It really pissed me off! I demanded an explanation about what was really going on! After some hesitation they told me that they decided that I was a competitor, that I most likely had a license and that I would probably steal their professional secrets! Because I was asking too many questions! I wonder how I was supposed to steal anything if I agreed to not knowing the formula that they were going to use?! That was so outrageous and ridiculous! At the end they threatened me to call police if I didn't leave the salon. Ladies, if you are so afraid of competitors that allow yourself to treat your clients like this, I can assure you that you'll be out of business very soon!

I walked into Seattle African Braids this morning nursing a pretty serious hangover from my…read moregoing-away party the night before, and honestly, I wasn't sure how the day was going to go. Laurelle, Jada, and Winnie completely changed that. They welcomed me like family, got me coffee and a breakfast sandwich, made sure I ate lunch, and set me up in their new reclining chair where I actually got to rest while they worked on my braids. The quality of their work is exceptional, and they're incredibly fast. After living here for over ten years, I've yet to find braiders as good or as efficient as them. The whole experience was so thoughtful and relaxing that it turned what I thought would be a rough appointment into literally the most relaxing hair experience I've ever had. If you're looking for braiding that comes with genuine care, hospitality, and top-notch craftsmanship, this is your place."

After my son was turned away twice for various reasons and left extremely disappointed, we will be taking our business elsewhere. Also, online policy stated a 50% deposit was required, but I was not given that option and charged the full amount for the service prior to booking that I will never get back. I should have trusted my gut to book elsewhere after reading through the extensive online terms and conditions page. She holds the client to a standard of near perfection in order to complete a service, yet holds herself to a standard that leaves much to be desired. To conclude, it was stated that my son's haircut ain't it.... well ma'am, your customer service AIN'T IT! Do better. People are not paying you to be ridiculed, especially children.

Wow..... I have…read morevisited Vivian before and was really happy with my service. I proceeded to try and book again and was met with a very head scratching experience. I made an appointment which I thought was agreed upon on both sides, when I arrived I saw someone else already in the chair. I was told that I didn't confirm the appointment so it was given to someone else. I was given the option to come back but I declined and left. Vivian called me back later to apologize and offer another appointment the next day to which I agreed to. The next day, two minutes before my appointment was to start, I receive a text stating that she's 30 minutes late. I told her to text me when she's there because I'm close. 45 minutes later I receive a text of, "I'm here....." No apology or explanation. I reply that she's 45 minutes late and that I decline to come and to take care. She responds...."sweet....take care as well". I am really shocked at the whole situation because I have visited her before with no issues. The fact that you can shrug your shoulders and be dismissive of a client lets me know that I'm not a valued customer and my business is not needed or wanted.
