They were friendly and professional. They were able to get my hair done quickly and for a fair price.

Ruth is fast, meticulous, and professional. She takes a picture and matches it to what will look good on you. Sweet spirit and fair prices. Braids last, are uniform, and are not too tight.I highly recommend. Place is quiet and clean. You can buy your hair from her. read more

Five Stars!! She did AMAZING! My daughter went somewhere else to get a sew in for prom this weekend. It did not turn out well. Not only did Rootz take her in 30 minutes before closing to remove the hair; she also redid her hair staying 3 hours after closing to ensure she looked good for senior prom! It came out beautifully. We are true forever clients now. The most professional yet laid-back vibe you will find! read more

This time I got box braids from Ruth (my second time). Her website estimates the alloted time for braids, and as usual, Ruth got it done in her typical, awesome timing! The process was painless and my baids look so beautiful. So happy! read more

Great experience! It took only two hours to do my crochet Senegalese twists. She blew my short, natural hair out for me. Then, she braided them to look like individual twists. The braids aren't too tight. I actually left the shop with my hair in a ponytail. Normally, I would oblige. It's a nice, clean shop. The TV was on the whole time. I'm a college student, so the price was great also. read more

Be aware of this writer she does not listen and she overcharges I asked her for box braids small size much longer than what she gave me they are uneven they are way too fucking big and they are not what I asked for which again was small but Length she made them large mid back Length length but wanted to charge me over $200 and I had to pay for my own here read more

Do not go here. I wanted to get medium size box braids below my bra strap. I'm not a big fan of box braids with the ends left unbraided and that's exactly what happened to me. My braids are chunky at the top and turn super thin before it even reaches my bra strap but because the thin ends are below my bra strap she wanted me to pay an extra $20. I said no. This is not how my braids are supposed to look. I left very confused and thought it would look better once I left the studio because maybe I was over thinking. Wrong, not overthinking. It looks completely uneven. I'm so upset and I call the braider, I could not get a refund because she spent time on my hair so she said would just redo it. Even though I told her multiple times that I'm taking it down and I want my money back. I'm a college student, a broke one at that. I'm a natural hair girl, this is already too much stress on my hair but I'm going on spring break and I looked a mess. I decided to get some of them redone. I assumed it couldn't get any worse. I was right. It stayed the exact same. I showed her what I wanted and the first few braids that were getting redone were fine. I couldn't keep checking because I commuted 30 mins to get there in the rain at 6 in the morning so she can fix it. I was tired. We didn't finish my braids the night before until midnight. On to redo. The back is terrible. In what braiding salon do you have your front braids longer than the back? Is this a new type of bob? It's still really big at the top and super thin. Then she told me that this new non existent length costs $240. Like I would pay her again for this terrible service. I'm extremely pissed off and I don't recommend coming here. I'm removing my braids. She's a nice woman, don't get me wrong but I'm not paying for niceness. I wanted my hair done correctly and she didn't/couldn't do that. read more

I'm natural, going on 3yrs 4a super fine strands and I've been afraid of getting braids because I like my edges! Pinterest made me want to try some ghana braids/cornrows. Here are the reasons I'll definitely be going back to this shop: -Very clean, well ventilated and spacious -Friendly and conversational -Put on Netflix before we got started (big + for the socially awkward -Doesn't braid too tight especially around the edges -Sells hair in shop if you forget to bring your own -Quick (a little over an hour with no wait) -Seals ends with hot water -Modest prices -Actually referenced the picture to make sure it was right I know my hair is in good hands here and look forward to all the growth I'll get from protective styles ^_^ read more

I have short natural hair and had my hair braided into a mohawk. I was happy with Ruth's work. She was professional, the shop was clean, and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely go back to Rootz when I'm ready for my next style. read more

Ruth was very nice and was waiting for me when I arrived early. The shop was clean and she put the news on the TV. She asked questions to make sure she understood what I wanted and that I wasn't tender headed. She adjusted the price down to fit the work, (although it was still more than what I have been paying.) and then promptly got to work. I was so relaxed I fell asleep a couple of times. She finished my crochet braids in a little over an hour and I look great. The entire experience was comfortable and relaxing. I will definitely be going back, especially since it is in my neighborhood. read more
