Priscilla B.

It was my first experience getting braided and it was such a great one. They were all nice and helpful, and the woman who braided my hair was happy to answer all of my questions and I appreciated her suggestions. They're reasonably priced and have many options for extensions. My braids stayed well for over a week and could've gone longer but I chose to take them out because I have fine hair. Can't wait to come back and do it again!

I have been going to Lydia's braiding hair when she was still doing her outside of her home. I absolutely love it here she is so sweet and always slays every look I'm looking for. I requested goddess with a lot of leave out and partial blonde and brown. Just look at how adorable Braids came out. We are always listening to some traditional music or popular and I can't say enough about how incredible the services is. This took approximately five hours to possibly could've been less than that.

Fantastic shop with friendly and efficient braiders. Loved my Dutch braids and the price was very reasonable!

Ignores all questions except for price

ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE I called Nov 6 wanting to discuss details, specially availability, and the only thing Lydia could say on the phone was "mm yea." I thought it was a language barrier so I sent a detailed text with pictures and videos, I'll attach screenshots which will be self explanatory! Still couldn't get a single thing out of her. I would highly recommend anyone else. I was just trying to help a friend from a different country get braids but she did not care at all. Such disappointing customer service.

Always amazing! Ms. Lydia consistently provides great service along with beautiful results! I recently moved to Las Vegas, but still return when I want braids done. She is my go to person, and this is my go to spot.

Day 1 with braids

Do yourself a favor and visit Lydia, she is amazing. Scheduling my appointment was easy and she answered all my questions. I came in to get braids for my Halloween Costume. I provided the style I wanted with the hair color I wanted braided in and Lydia delivered. I absolutely love them. After 4 weeks they still look amazing. Great shop to visit and can't wait to schedule my next appointment.

I was SO happy with my hair! I wanted a specific style and Christine nailed it! My braids lasted for ever and could have lasted even longer. Beautiful braids, beautiful personalities and overall wonderful experience. This place is a gem!

Me with my crochet on vaca
Shawna C.

I had a good crochet experience at this salon Dec 16th. My first time there and my appt started a lil late. I was able to relax with a therapy dog that was waiting on its owner as well as another first time client, an expectant mom, so that made time pass faster. The cornrows were a little tight and made it difficult to install the crochet. At times, it felt and sounded like my hair was being ripped out of my scalp (yikes). I Googled afterwards ( ikr) and it said if hair is taken out at the follicle it may take years to grow back so that's a huge downer. But, once those cornrows grew out a bit, I felt great and the crochet looked great. Before that, I was constantly oiling my scalp to ease the pain. Many, many compliments on the hair though. And, it was super easy to handle while on vacation, though at times, it felt like entirely too much hair, but I guess that's how it goes when trying to cover the cornrows. I'd probably go for much larger cornrows in the future, and hopefully fewer braids, like I saw being done at a different salon recently, which I do not/cannot patronize. Different review for a different day, if ever on that salon.

Soooooooo cute !! These ladies know what they are doing ! Super clean , and very welcoming !   I'll be coming back to her every time now

Such a great experience !!! I had messaged her and she was able to accommodate a same day appt. she had a open spot if I came in ASAP. Your miles may vary , luckily I live very close so it worked out . These ladies have a little studio salon in the back of her house , when I arrived I got sat in a salon chair . There were two ladies working and one was finishing up. Once it was my turn , I showed her pics of what I wanted, we discussed if I wanted extensions and of course I said yes. For my braids, I had a custom pattern and I have 4 rows so It took about 2 hours to finish. I am soooooo happy with the results!!! And they are very reasonably priced!! MAKE SURE TO LEAVE A GOOD TIP!! 100% coming back to them every time for my braids.

OMG This is my first time getting braids here and I WILL BE COMING BACK. Lydia did my braids amazing.they were two French braids. She did not rush, she checked in on me to see how I was doing during the braiding process, and made sure I got what I wanted. The hospitality of everyone in there was amazing. Beautiful people, beautiful personalities. There is no judgement. There is no rudeness. They are genuinely kind-hearted people. Please be kind to them, they braid from morning until night with little to no breaks to make sure your hair is on point.

Cornrows.
Cin C.

I came in for a first-timer crotche extension. I Bought some hair On Amazon not knowing if this would work. But Lydia took the time to educate me and teach me about hair and the different install methods she could offer me. Lydia's fingers are swift at braiding. She did an amazing job with my cornrows (first time for me too). The entire session took about 3 hrs. Prices are reasonable. I have mid length hair, so braiding took some time. Why did I do this?? Obviously not for the length as the install is only about 3-4 inches longer. But to give my hair a rest and allow it to repair. I recently went back to my natural hair color after being bleached platinum for 2 yrs. And want to get rid of the damage it caused. Lydia was professional. Her shop is clean and not Cluttered. Lydia and her staff wear masks to protect you. There's hand sanitizer and masks available if you don't have one. Will be returning.

Do we bring in our own hair?

Hello! I was wondering how much would it cost to get wavy dreadlock extensions?

I've never been to your salon. What do charge for corn rows (basic fire wig install) ? Do you work with customers with delicate hairline? (I typically leave out of braids)

Cornrow prices usually varies. Yes we work with all types of hairlines

Hello! Do you accept walk in? Or you have to make an appointment to do braids?

Making an appointment is the best option because they are always busy:)

Hi Lydia do u braid guys hair?

My third visit back to Jessie. She is the only person I'll let cut my hair now. Jessie just does a…read morephenomenal job! She is very skilled with her technique. I appreciate that she checks in with me to see if I'm happy with the progress at each stage of the cut. I will make the drive from SD just to see her. I'm not sure how my haircuts just get better with each visit (literally not exaggerating look at the photos). Booking an appointment is a breeze since she's so responsive. I want to gate keep her so bad but her skills and attention to detail needs to be shared. I always have a calm and peaceful experience at her studio. She has such a sweet and easygoing personality. I'll be back, Hyejin!!

Y'all, let me put you ON this place. Jessie/Jin is the best. The first time I came in was last year…read morefor a hair cut. I had just moved to the area again and wanted to find a hairstylist during my time here. I read a review that said she'll let you know her honest opinion and I'm so glad because for me personally, I would hate it if I came in wanting something and the hairstylist thinks it's ugly (but is quiet about it) and I walk out feeling regretful that I wanted to try xyz lol. My first haircut came out nicely after we chatted about what I wanted and what she thinks would look best, and she recommended me a brown I should try in the future. Today is that future time. It's my second time here! I came in knowing vaguely what I wanted (Some sort of lighter brown with bangs since I had black hair with no bangs lol). We chatted and then I simply trusted the process. She ended up giving me curtain bangs that can also be a little wispy also, and cut my hair to a length that looked soooo good. There was so much attention to detail when she was cutting too. It was great. For the color, she said that a lighter color might not actually look the best on me and a subtle brown might be better! I was pretty down for whatever she thought looked good so I trusted the process again. Let me tell you... this subtle brown looked so good with the cut. Also, my hair? Soft as HECK. It was kinda gritty before so I was shook when I touched my hair after the appt. She chatted with me lots and also gave me space too. It was a great balance and also she answered my questions!! I always have so many questions and she answered them all for me!! Including... how to style my hair because I suck at those things. I'll take any advice and tips I can get. Price is reasonable for OC too! TLDR; I walked in with messy hair that made me look dead inside and walked out with softer dyed hair AND styling knowledge. If that isn't a win, I don't know what is.
