    Fulani braids
    Kalimah R.

    I called them on the fly because the other braid salon I had an appointment with was very unprofessional, and had me waiting for over two hours when I put a deposit down for an appointment (Mamacita Hair Braiding). When I got to Mel's they were so pleasant and professional. They all help each other when needed. The shop was clean and mask were worn. I only waited twenty minutes before I got started. Roxanne did my hair..she did such a GREAT job and gave me exactly what I wanted, even when I was told the style could not be done on my hair. I would definitely recommend this place!!!...I will be going back when I need my hair braided again and again!!!!

    Protective hair styles are important to me for my natural hair growth. I first went to Mel's just before my trip to Cuba in June 2017. Prior to that, I had not had my hair braided in over 15 years because of a bad experience at an African hair braiding salon that practically left me edge-less. Mel and her stylists have braided my hair with great care and delicacy. I have been very pleased with the results each time and have noticed tremendous growth and strength in my hair.

    As I am new to the area and have a girlfriend that used to live this way, I asked her for a…read morerecommendation and was satisfied from the start. I called, the young lady who answered the phone was very professional and was able to schedule a next day appointment for me. When I arrived, I was greeted by not only the owner, but the guests she had as well. I immediately felt like I was right at home with my "cousins". We laughed and had a good old time. Everyone who came in was so pleasant and it was really a family-like atmosphere. For someone who is extremely family-oriented and is currently away from their family, it was such a welcoming atmosphere. How comfortable everyone was is a testament to how well the owner and staff treat their customers. It was clean, nicely decorated and reasonably priced. There is parking right outside which makes it a breeze. I got a trim and a press. Three days later my hair is still so silky and looks the healthiest it has in months. I will be making this my regular salon and refer anyone who asks me. If you are a down-to-earth person who feeds off of vibes and good energy, this is the place. You will leave with the "joy" you have when you leave family gatherings. Not to mention, you will look beautiful as ever. LyNise is super sweet professional & Safia and Pumkin are soooo funny.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, I GOT A FULL WEAVE AND EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS…read moreMY HAIR. SO MANY COMPLIMENTS. Lylise, the owner of this shop is a very personable and detailed stylist. She specializes in short cuts, but her work isn't limited to just that. I have had my hair cut here and most recently a quick weave. My first cut was with my natural hair, I did not like how it came out, I don't feel she used the right products or styling tools for my hair texture. I'm sure had I told her I didn't like t she would have did whatever it took till I did, but I had been waiting so long I was just ready to get out of there. I had came on a Friday around 12 and it was packed! The next style I received was a quick weave (Google for in depth description of style). I appreciate that she took her time, and used precision throughout the process. She was very helpful when I asked for tips to care and protect the style, being it was my first time getting it. The shop is pretty tight in size, considerably intimate. There are 4 dryers, two wash bowls, three stylist chairs. There is another stylist Safiyah who also specializes in short cuts, and unlike Lylise, the latest weave trends such as "closures." I have seen Lylise do a number of styles, which came out really nice, and is the reason why I came back after the first visit and do recommend this shop. Just know on the weekends and days before holidays there will be a crowd, like most shops. She's closed sun-tues, and says her lighter days are wed and Thursday, but she is open to coming in on her day off if you can come early as the time when she drops the kids off to school.
