    I had an appointment at Nina's Braiding Bar on Thursday, December 13, 2018. I made the 1 hour and 7 minute trip from Winter Haven for this.

    I had an appointement December 13, 2018. When I arrived, Tyvon (my stylist for the morning) was detangling an open pack of braiding hair. She cheerfully greeted me then asked me if I was there for a 9am appointment. I said yes then she asked me to have a seat and give her a moment to finish detangling the hair. I asked if I was supposed to wash my hair prior to the appointment and she said yes. Unfortunately, I didn't know that. I was under the impression that I'd get my hair washed since this was a beauty appointment, I was mistaken. For hair novices, like myself, braid bars don't provide full salon services. Don't go there expecting to get your hair washed. When Tyvon motioned for me to take a seat in the chair position in front of her, I took a moment to look around. The 'braiding bar' is spacious and clean. A relaxing place to get your hair unsatisfactorily braided/styled. As you will see from the pictures I've post, I went to get crochet braids done and boy did she do them...terribly. The spacing between my braids were incredibly wide and Tyvon failed to fill my braids completely with the twists I provided her. I brought ten packs of hair but she only used 5.5 packs and left large gaps of empty braids throughout my hair. When she cheerfully proclaimed "I'm done" I looked in the mirror stunned at how terrible my hair looked. (I definitely picked the wrong color). Somehow, she managed to make the hair bulky in the front and empty in the back. The artistry was lacking and the quality of her skills was disappointing. Immediately I stated my dissatisfaction and asked to have them redone. she gave the impression that her schedule was too full to correct her sloppy work that same day. When I spoke with her later that day, she told me she could re-do my hair for the same price. I was dumbstruck. I couldn't believe poor service was handled so tastelessly. Tyvon stated the owner would be willing to allow me to have my hair redone for a ten dollar discount (basically the amount I tipped Tyvon). Essentially I was expected to pay $120 for CROCHET BRAIDS. That's like going to the dentist, getting a botched root canal then being told that you'd have to pay to have the procedure corrected, even though the dentist is at fault. Overall, I'd say avoid that place if you're hoping for quality hair services.

    Tyvon did 2 Ghana braids.

    Tyvon did a beautiful job. I she is polite, professional and so sweet. She answered all my questions. Did not braid too tight, no pain at all. I LOVE HER! I will definitely be back.

    A few days later of my bob falling into place.

    I can't believe they only have 4.5 stars???! THEY ARE a 5/5 EVERY TIME. And I've had my hair braided my two different stylists. The best!!

    I've been getting my hair done by Stephanie for a couple of years now and can't imagine anyone else braiding my hair.

    Before I get into this review just be aware that there are TWO locations for this franchise &…read morethey're 10 minutes away from each other! (I made this mistake and went to the wrong one first then the correct location for my hair appointment lol!) This hair salon has a parking lot right next to the business which I like. When you walk in, you feel right at home with the receptionist greeting you & offering you some type of beverage such as water, soda, coffee, tea or wine! Not only do they do that, but they also have sweets at the front! At your appointment time you are greeted with your hairstylist at the front. Moved to Orlando about a year ago and I still haven't found a hair salon that I truly trusted until I came here! I called a few weeks in advance to book an appointment for a blowout & the process was easy since I didn't have a specific person. I had a guy (I can't remember his name) but he was great! He was very friendly and did exactly what I asked of him! For the price honestly I was shocked. It was not bad at all and not what I was used to because I have THICK hair & they charged me for a blowout around $45 which was VERY reasonable! I am very happy I found my hair salon and will definitely be back here!

    I recently booked an appointment for a 30-minute Mini Signature Facial and, on the day of the…read moreappointment, I drove over so excitedly that I actually landed at the wrong (Ivanhoe) location. I was mortified, but the staff there were super nice -- they provided me the correct address, assured me everything would be fine as their Milk District locations as only about 10 minutes away, and they even called the staff at age Milk District locale to let them know I would be a bit let due to my having accidentally driven to the wrong place. When I arrived at the correct location, literally 10 minutes later, the staff there was great -- they let know that I would still receive the full service and brought me over a sparkling water while the esthetician, Marissa, came over to get me. She took me to the back, where she performs the spa services. Marissa was absolutely delightful, taking the time to explain her process while also listening to my skin needs/concerns. I was happily surprised to learn she uses Eminence Organics, which I didn't even realize when I made the appointment. Eminence is my all-time favorite skincare line, so this was a major plus! Anywho, she provided a wonderful facial experience , and I walked out of there feeling smooth and refreshed! 5 stars, 2 thumb up, 10/10 recommend!

This location has a pretty small parking lot, so i was very lucky to grab a spot, but with all the construction on Ivanhoe at the moment, parking might be a challenge. I had such a nice experience here. As someone who has always struggled with finding a stylist I left Theory so happy. Dawn took such great care of me and really listened to the feedback and styling I was looking for. I have always had really long and thick hair and she did a fantastic job with the things I wanted. The staff is very welcoming and they offer you a selection of drinks such as coffee, soda wine and water. I highly recommend checking it out.

    Service here is chaotic. Been here twice and i remembered why i never went back years ago…read more I had an appointment and still was treated like a walk-in. My stylist was rushed and distracted in the middle of a process with another client. Everyone in here has an air of being better than everyone else. It's very uncomfortable & crowded. And they charge sooo much for these stuck up stylists. I was charged over $100 for trimming my ends and my bangs on dry hair. (No wash, or styling) I was really looking for a long term stylist/salon but this place felt pretentious & overpriced. And after reception kept changing my appointments i decided to never go back. What a mess.
