Amanda is great, I found my new hairdresser. She did my hair in 2.5 hours and not only does it look amazing but it also doesn't hurt. This was my first time trying crocheted hair and she did an excellent job with my cornrows which make my hair lay nicely and look full. Her place is very comfortable and she also offers great conversation. I will be back!!! read more

So I must first preface this review by saying that I hate getting my hair braided. I don't like the process and detest taking them out when it's time....but the heat and humidity does not allow me to be great in the summer so....Braids it is! I found Amanda here on Yelp and was impressed with her rating and reviews. I can honestly say that every one of the reviews are true and she lives up to her service and quality. I requested box braids and showed some pictures of what I wanted. She made a usually painful and uncomfortable experience so comfortable and accommodating. She makes you feel at home with personable conversation and she also respects your edges. (My edges are so grateful!) Amanda reviewed my style requests with me and gave feedback/suggestions in order to accommodate and ensure my satisfaction which I appreciate. I truly am a happy customer and look forward to my next visit! We already began discussing future styles! Book her! read more

I was looking for someone to do my daughter's crochet braids for school. I came to Yelp and found Amanda. I went to her Instagram page to look at more photos. Her booking link is right in her bio. Very easy to navigate. I booked an appointment on 8/29 for 8/31. So quick and easy! Amanda is very sweet. Her customer service is phenomenal and communication is clear. I'm big on those things, especially right now during a pandemic. Masks are worn by all during visit. My daughter is so happy! She said that Amanda didn't braid too tight, and she felt comfortable with her braiding her hair. We will both be going back in the future. read more

Superb job done this evening! I am beyond satisfied with Amanda's work and am a forever customer! I looked high and low for someone to do my daughter's (age 10) hair. Her hair isn't very long so I was worried about if anyone would be ABLE to even braid her hair and if the quality would be good. I only trusted myself doing my daughter's hair, in the past, but honestly didn't have the patience. I'm very grateful I found Amanda on here and was able to book with her. We will be back as soon as she needs a touch up. My daughter had medium singalese twists done. I also appreciate that she didn't do the twists too tight because I was concerned about that. I want her hair to grow, not break off. I was NOT paid or even asked to leave a review but it's the least I could do. read more

I've NEVER had my hair braided or had a weave or anything...BUT hubby and I were celebrating our 18th Anniversary in Jamaica and I thought I'd FINALLY try something new! Found Amanda on here (Yelp) and then proceeded to stalk her Instagram lol...she was willing to travel to my home which I greatly appreciated but last minute I went to her. She's very gentle!! I'm tender headed and she definitely asked before she went in! Didn't take long at all! She was very helpful in telling me which hair to get and I got TONS of compliments on my hair! To me I thought it was just "vacation hair" and didn't keep it in long, but I cannot wait to make another appointment and see how long I can keep it! Thanks Amanda!! read more

Some people love going to a salon for the day. They enjoy the chatter, delays, and the experience. Some people just want a nice person to give them a consistent, cute do, in a reasonable amount of time. Amanda caters to the latter. Amanda started my crochet braids at 7:30, after *going to the hair store with me to pick out a style at 7.* I was in my car, and being told to let her know I made it home safely at 9:30. I love my hair, it's super cute, it *doesn't hurt,* and I paid a fair price. While working on my natural curls, Amanda didn't pull, she worked to detangle for braiding gently. But, these braids are solidly placed. Amanda is awesome. Her work is awesome. I'll add pics soon. But I had to jump on here and tell you how great the job was. read more

You know how you have this picture in your mind on how you'd look after getting your hair done? Well, this experience went above and beyond what I could imagine. Amanda not only braided my hair but it was/is comfortable no pain or pulling. She took care of my edges and my hair in general. You don't see tufts of hair. She took care of my scalp etc. it was a nice and enjoyable time! I could watch what I wanted and the 4 hours flew by quickly. She is truly a professional. To the pricing and preparation. I'm beyond pleased with this whole experience. And I don't cringe as I pass the mirror . I'll definitely be going back in a couple of months for more hair care by Manda! read more

What can I say, I am used to going to African hair braiding shops and knowing my edges will be snatched but my hair will be fly and I won't be there all day. So when my friend recommended Amanda to me, I was a bit hesitant. I knew it didn't feel like dousing my edges in castor oil all winter long, but I told myself if I have to go and sit for 12 hours for a style that looked like I did it myself I ain't got time for all that. So on a prayer, I booked with Amanda and there will be no turning back. First of all, she is super sweet and responsive. She let me know what hair to buy, and told me where to get it. I stuffed my face before I get there expecting to be there all night long, and she has me out in 3 hours!!! For a small twists on my big head! Even if I was going to have to sit 12 hours, Amanda was great company and my hair was awesome. I will definitely be back to her for other styles. Oh and she even lets you watch what you want on TV lol. Any negatives? Unless you want your edges snatched out, it's all good here. She is in her home so if your uppity and want your edges to go on vacation you go do what you do, but that's none of my business. Plus she will even travel to you, so no excuses. read more

I had not gotten my hair braided in almost 15 years so I was very nervous in picking my braider. I am so glad that I found Amanda on Yelp! She is very professional and did a beautiful job on my Spring twists. read more

Amanda did an AMAZING JOB! Aside from her great personality, she knows how to braid :) I showed her one picture and she was able to bring it to life on my head.

I was in the market for medium/large box braids and I just happened to stumble upon Amanda and I am SO GLAD I did!! Amanda is nothing short of amazing!!! My experience with her was great. She was personable, and made me feel right at home. She actually listened to my requests and executed what I wanted perfectly. I hate going to the gallery and having a million and one people working on my hair at once so I am so lucky to have found Amanda. She worked efficiently. It usually takes me upwards of 8 hours to get braids in the gallery, I was done in 5 working with Amanda. I have received countless compliments on my hair. Amanda is truly great at what she does. She is now my go to hair braider and I cannot wait to try more styles with her! read more

I am brand new to protective styles and she took great care of me. Answered all my questions and shared which hair I needed to buy. I've been twice now and each time I left happy. Great service and reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

Amanda did a great job on my hair. I got the cornrow with a bun style and received so many compliments from my family, friends and co-workers! I even got some extra attention from the guys...lol. I'm tender-headed, so I can appreciate the care that she took in not braiding too tight and the attention to protecting my edges. In the past, I have gone to local braid shops and sat in the chair for 6-7 hours to get my hair braided. That didn't happen with Amanda. She was very professional, prompt, super efficient and finished my hair in 2.5 hours! I am so glad that I found her and will be a returning customer. Her prices are reasonable and I'm referring her to all my friends! read more

Amanda was very responsive, professional, personable and fast! It's been a looooong time since having someone else do my hair and I couldn't be happier. I trusted the Yelp reviews and photos presented of her work and I was SOLD! I needed not waste anytime and quickly set an appointment the same night after text communication. I was lucky to snag an early appt for Friday of last week. That Thursday I had a little anxiety trying to find the right hair and after two stores and a few texts with Amanda I was good. It's been a week today and I'm loving my medium marley twists! She is my go-to person for sure. read more

Quite simply, Amanda did a fantastic job in helping me find a style, gave suggestions and told me the right hair needed for the style desired. Amanda made sure that I liked the style and even reivsed it a bit once I saw it in the mirror and wanted to change things around. I got marley twists then had them cornrowed, which took about 2 or so hours. Years ago, I would go to salons and get twists and the stylists would take an hour or two longer so I appreciated how efficiently Amanda worked. I'll definitely be returning every few months to get my hair braided. Also, Amanda was friendly, talkative and ensured that I was comfortable. read more

Amanda came to me via a friend referral and she did not disappoint! Very professional, responsive, and efficient! Getting braids for the first time, she made my visit a breeze! All I did was provide a style that I wanted and she provided all the information and things I needed to do prior to coming to her. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends! read more

S/medium box braids. I was seeking a braider that would be available on a specific day and Amanda was. Plus reading the reviews was a bonus!! All the reasons you should go: Affordable Professional Great braiding technique (ladies your edges will remain) I'm going to remain a client. We are already set on my next style read more

I have gone to Amanda twice for Marley Twists and she did a great job both times. Not only does my hair look good, but she works quickly and my edges are intact. She also will put you on to some new shows to binge watch read more

Manda is the greatest! This is my second review. She was spot on with the 4 hours it took for her to do her magic and just like before I love, love, love my braids. Highly recommend giving her a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Amanda is amazing!! She did an outstanding job on my hair!! She is my new go-to person for natural hairstyles. She starts on time, doesn't dilly dally, and her work is impressive...very professional. I am the poster child for being tender-headed and she was very sensitive to that; taking care not to braid my hair too tight...and my Baby Cozy crochet braids came out perfect. I've received lots of compliments on, what is, my new look. I'm going on 6 weeks and it still looks good. read more

My experience with Amanda was great! I was able to get the next available appointment and she got the hair for me. I got medium sized box braids. They were all very uniformed and I felt as though my hair was protected. I have natural long hair and we opted for waist length braids, which I was apprehensive about, but they were all so neat and beautifully done. Amanda took care to not pull on my edges or hair for that matter, but the installation was well done. It took about a week for my hair to loosen, and then I was able to do a plethora of styles with my braids including the infamous bun. My appointment was on a Monday evening after work. I was there for around 4 hours which was great! I will definitely be going back to her. Oh and the big part is that her prices are very reasonable. I have been quoted outrageous figures in the past and her prices are great for anyone's budget (personal opinion of course). read more

Amanda is very professional and efficient. The few times she's done my hair I was very pleased. Her prices are VERY reasonable compared to most. She's never late and always makes sure to keep her clients appointments. Not to mention if you need a last minute appointment she will still find a way to accommodate you. Book your appointment! read more

Amanda is truly talented and fast! I have gone to her twice now. The first time, she was kind enough to fix my faux locs after another braider installed them poorly. I texted Amanda late at night and she was able to fix them the next night. I'm grateful because I had a big weekend planned and my hair would have ruined the weekend. The second time ( a couple months later) I went to her for a complete install (Bobbi Boss Nu Locs) . The results were beautiful, neat,and quick! Ladies if you are looking for a person to install all individual crochet locs that look great and are done quickly Amanda is your installer! Reasonably priced and most importantly done right!!! Will use again for sure!!!!! read more

I've had Amanda do my hair twice now and I always love it. She recently did braids for me (my first time with this style) and not only was it very quick but I love how they turned out! She is amazing and helpful when choosing a style you want! read more

Amanda's awesome. I booked her after researching her yelp (and so, so, so many others) and being pleased with the number of positive reviews and cute pics. She gave great information when I contacted her and wasn't bothered by my 21 questions. On the day of the appointment, we started promptly and she worked quickly; my hair looked great! I'm a bit tender in the front along the crown area, she was responsive to any concerns about that area and was gentle. I even went back for a touch up of my Marley twists and she redid the crown area for me and was so accommodating when I failed to undo enough twists for the redo; she took a lot of pride in making sure that my already old Marley twists still looked great! Choose her-she doesn't harm your edges and does great work!!! read more

I must start my review by stating what all the other reviews stated Manda is the best! I am so happy that I chose her to braid my hair. Her warm inviting personality had me as soon as I stepped in her door. She has a beautiful home! I felt comfortable as soon as we said hello. I tried to get an appointment with other braiders in the area, but their unenthusiastic responses did not warm me over to make me want to sit in their chair. I am new to braids. I have zero knowledge in the how, what's or why's about braids. Well Manda answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable with asking anything I didn't understand. To book her was seamless. Yes, she has a professional booking site. No oh DM me or Text only! This showed me that she is all about her business. After I booked my appointment I received a confirmation email. Loved that! A week before my appointment Manda text me everything I needed to know about my upcoming appointment. That was a plus! Then I received a reminder email to let me know my appointment was coming up. On the day of my appointment she text me to let me know if I wanted I could come early. Why yes, I can. Thank you! Manda lives in a great high end neighborhood and the building where she lives is gorgeous! Once I was there we hit it off from the start. We chatted the entire time and watched tv. What I thought would take 4 hours or more only took 2 hours. She works really fast. Once she said I'm finished and I looked in the mirror, I knew a few things. First, she has a customer for life. Second, she knows what she is doing. Third she's very personable and inviting. I looked in the mirror and said OMG you made me cute again! She said you were already cute!!! I love the positivity from her. If you are on the fence and not sure if you should book her, please do. I am a tough person to make happy when it comes to my hair so if I'm happy with it, you should be. When my husband saw me he couldn't stop smiling. He said I looked like a young Janet Jackson. He said she took 10 years off of you. Well, with that type of compliment, you can't go wrong. I can't wait to see what I get next from Manda. Thank you again for a seamless enjoyable experience! read more

She is the absolute best! I am a natural girl and I have extremely long thick hair and this was my first time ever getting a crochet hairstyle.soooo many people told me my hair was too long and thick to get crochets but Im glad I didn't listen cause SHE DID THAT!!! Amanda had so much patience with me and helped me to find confidence in my new hairstyle even though the hair I purchased online from a beauty supply did not turn out to be the color as photographed. Of course, that was not Amanda's fault so I was not upset with her at all- but just disappointed because I thought the hair would've looked like the color in the photo. But now that a week has passed and it's grown on me, I LOVE my hair and I will be a repeat customer because I can't believe how easy it is to maintain this crochet hair instead of dealing with my natural hair in the hot summer heat and humidity. Much love to Amanda for turning me into a new crochet fanatic!!! read more
