I've been going here for a few years now and I don't think i'd ever wanna go anywhere else. They always do an amazing job every time and are super fast! Would recommend to anyone when they ask where I go. read more

I'm glad you finally implemented an online booking system, relying solely on texting clearly wasn't working. I only wish that change had come sooner. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. You overbooked appointments with my daughter, which created unnecessary stress and inconvenience. What made it worse was the lack of accountability and any effort to make things right. You've built what could be a great business, but situations like this reflect poor management. I hope moving forward you focus less on overbooking and more on providing the quality service your clients expect. read more

Customer service is terrible. Employees are either busy braiding hair or busy dodging customers waiting for help.

Services are very good, though being in a beauty shop, it should be a quiet environment, you twisting heads while speaking your language, which is beautiful however, look at your clients, communicate with them sometimes, and please treat all clients the same respect, wash hands and equipment more. Three star only because of mention topics. read more

This was my 3rd time coming and everything went great! Lydia responded quickly, and booking my appointment online was super easy. She was very nice and welcoming from the start. Her daughter did my hair, and she was just as kind really easy to talk to and made the whole experience enjoyable. The vibe there is always so good. I'll definitely be coming back again! read more

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! read more

Lydia the fact that you're expressing my time and your accountability "isn't the end of the world" shows your lack compassion. YOU are the reason I am no longer your client, not me or anyone else. Accept that you've been wrong countless times and move on as I've done. Your first response to my message was "Thanks for your time" now you've all of sudden decided to say more to try to save face for your business. Also you have never made me aware in all the years I was coming to you to get my hair braided that you had a booking service online. Had I known that we probably wouldn't be in the situation. If you are in fact using an online booking service, then good for you cause you definitely need it. Hopefully no one else has to go through what I've gone through with you. If your capable of doing this, put yourself in my shoes and imagine you attempting to get ahold of your stylist and you can't, imagine already having an appointment and your stylist doesn't remember booking your appointment, imagine driving to your appointment to only find your stylist doing someone else's hair, imagine being late to work because of your stylist and there's absolutely no compensation of any sort. You would not be happy! You made multiple mistakes with me and it is what it is at this point, but hopefully you learn from them moving forward. Take care of yourself and wishing you the best in your business moving forward. read more

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. read more

These are the best braiders in all of the LA and sol cal area. Amazing prices and services. They are very flexible and willing to get the job done under any circumstances. The vibes are amazing they are very humble people and make the braiding experience worth it. read more

I give this place less than zero!! I contacted them based on yelp reviews. I am from out of town and wanted to get my hair braided. The first time I called the salon on Monday I explained I am from out of town and asked if they have any availability for this Friday. She told me to text her the information which I did she simply responded "I will check". I sent a follow up text yesterday no response. I call yesterday as well she said she would respond in an hour - nothing. So I thought I would give it 1 more try today - called the salon she said oh yes I will call you in an hour that was at 10am. What a waste of time to get an appointment that clearly doesn't want the business. Don't bother with this place very unprofessional to treat people this way. read more

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. read more

I would rate more like a 4.5, response was quick through Yelp. I am not accustomed to Yelp email communication but it went well- response was quick. The only downside was my stylist got sick due to her pregnancy and since I live in Hawaii I Ubered there and back to where I was staying- So I spent $50 in ride share day 1. Needless to say- my hair didn't get braided on Day 1. Rescheduled the appointment for Day 2, and spent another $50-$60 in ride share fees. So I spent over $100 just getting to the salon and back. I felt like some accommodation should have been made for my inconvenience, but it is what it is. My natural hair is about shoulder length. So no issues with gripping. I was concerned about my edges. The Braider left them out for me. The parts were straight and neat. The corn rows were neat. And the knotless braids were neat. They have hair at the salon to buy. I wish I would have been told that since I spent time looking for hair. The ladies were nice. No talking over you. At certain points a second Braider would help then go back to other clients. Ohhh I almost forgot-- I got there early on the second day, the lady who opened the shop started prepping my hair and the bought hair so the lady who actually braided my hair didn't have to do those tasks. The staff worked together and was not catty. The shop was clean. The bathroom was clean. The price was reasonable. I would recommend them. read more

We can't say enough good things about Jennifer! My 16 year old daughter wants to cut her hair which reached below her buttocks (she kept sitting on them and yelping). My daughter has curly hair whereas mine are straight and she doesn't like my barber, wanted someone knowledgeable of curly hair. Not only did Jennifer take her time to cut my daughter's hair (2-3 hrs total) but she also taught my daughter how to better manage her hair. In addition to being skilled and knowledgeable, Jennifer is great person, so caring and supportive. All the teens and children come by to say hi and all the other braiders ask her re: products to needing a phone charger or screwdriver. Jennifer took her time and cut my daughter's hair in phases to ensure correct length - yes my daughter did want to cut off most of her hair to shoulder level. Place is Nigerian mom & pop business and Jennifer (Wong) looks white but is half Chinese. We will keep coming to Jennifer and will drive down from Pleasanton (8 hrs) just to get a hair cut from her. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Lydia and her girls do a great job! One of her girls did my two braids really quick and they came out exactly how the picture I had showered her. I had ordered colored hair through amazon thinking I needed to buy the hair before hand however they have many different colored hair to choose from and for cheaper than amazon. I'd ask ahead though, to make sure they have the color your looking! I went with blue grey and purple colored hair. The pricing is very very good. I honestly thought I was going to be paying a ridiculous amount, but I've never gotten my hair braided either so I wasn't sure. Over all left happy and got many compliments on my hair, I'll be coming back! read more

The picture at the far right was how it was supposed to look for $150. Instead she wanted $170 for the second picture and called the cops when I refused to pay that amount. She was misleading and argumentative when I told her that after 6 hours the best you could come up with was that!!! (This is the picture she texted me for me to say I was happy with). Never do business with people who don't even have a legitimate business license. read more

Lydia has been doing my braids since 2017. I always got her braids etc. She introduced me to the magic of crochet. It took me years to accept it but guess what!??? It is magic and I love it. I went to her house bet She now has a shop with every color you can imagine and I love it just as much as her braids. For girls with thin edge or need a break. You can do this style without comprises. That was my fear. Take a look at her magic. Plus her hair is way cheaper than any beauty supply store. She does it for the client.. Just run to her...don't walk and see the great products and her experience and trust it. Plus anyone In her shop can do hair. Cristine is awesome too...she has done my individual braids. I want to express that I use to live around the corner from her but now I live in Long Beach but only trust her and whoever she has working with her. The #bestbestever! Go to her shop and enjoy and come out looking like a beauty. read more
