Usually they have 2 people braiding my hair (which is amazing for saving time) but this time there was just one so it took a lot longer than usual. BUT, worth it! I always love how my hair looks and they never disappoint. Highly highly recommend this braid shop :) I'm for sure a repeat customer.

I never got around to writing this review, but three weeks ago I took my daughter Isela to Madusu…read moreNext Level Braiding. She wanted hip length red skinny bone braids... but in a color that turned every head in the room. I paid for it without saying a word, even though my heart was breaking in my chest. Because two nights earlier, my 15-year-old baby was picked up and questioned by the Charlotte Police Department. She was the getaway driver in an armed robbery... sitting in the car while her boyfriend, or as she likes to call him, "her baby daddy," stormed into a corner store with a loaded weapon and walked out with under $200 in cash and consequences. She swears she didn't know what he was going to do. But she still drove. And she still stayed. That boy is already 18, and he's got a record thicker than a phone book... and now my daughter's tied to him in a way that might haunt her for the rest of her life. And the worst part? I've lived this already. With her father. My husband of 43 years. He's been incarcerated since 2016, six counts of MS and enough drug trafficking to bury a neighborhood.... He wore the same charm, the same swagger. That smooth mfer could talk the devil into giving up his horns. I tried to shield Isela from all of it. Kept her in church. Bought her books. Let her dance. But blood is loud. And when a girl grows up missing her daddy but worshiping the myth of him, it turns into something dangerous. So I did the only thing I knew how to do. I took her to get her hair braided. Not because she earned it. But because she needed to feel human. To sit still. To be touched gently. Because the next touch might be a cold bench, or a cold cell, or a cold truth that changes her forever. Madusu braided like she understood. No judgment. Just hands and grace. She gave my daughter dignity when I didn't have the strength to speak. Then I sent Isela home until the initial hearing to Santa Cruz El Chol, back to her Abuela. A house full of prayers and discipline. A house where there's no such thing as baby daddies and red braids and girls growing up too fast. Just work. Just faith. Just time to think. If you're a mother reading this: don't wait. Don't look the other way. Don't let love make you blind. Because I almost did. And now I'm terrified I'll lose my daughter to the same shadows that took her father. Pray for her. Please. Thank you, Madusu, for being kind when we needed it most. #MadusuNextLevelBraiding #Isela #RedBraidsAndRedFlags #MamaTried #SantaCruzElChol #CharlotteMoms #GenerationalWounds #BreakTheCycle #SheStillMine #EvenNow

Oh honey. We couldn't get past the phone call to even get going. Here's what happened…read more 1. I called Sunday 5:17p to get pricing for Medium KnotLess and learn if they have grey/silver. 2. Woman answers says it's $180-205. No, $185-205. Me: Ok. Do you have grey or ombre with grey or silver? Her: She thinks they have some grey. Do you want to come today? Me: Is there a better day when you know you'll get grey/or anything silver in? I can book for then. Wait how long will medium KnotLess take? Go the bra strap? Her: Ohhh, well if you come today it'll be 3-3.5 hours with 2 ladies. Me: ok, and if I come at 5am? Her: around 6 -7 hours. We disconnect with I'll be in touch. Talk to my family as 8p is bedtime for we depart430a for work. It's decided no biggie as it's better than another day that'll be late for pickups. I call back after mapping the address and packing up. Me: ma'am, I just called. Will you be in the salon or do I ask for someone? Her: how long will it be? Me: Google maps says 22 minutes. Her: okay, I'll let them know Me: do you take credit cards? Tap n pay? How do you take your money? Her: I couldn't understand but I heard Zelle. Me: Good. I can Zelle. What determines $185 or $205? Her: I need to see your hair. Me: ok, I can text and happy to get it resolved as I don't want to drive all the way over nor do I want any misunderstandings Her: ok. No text. It'll be $205. It won't go over $205. Me: Ok,no thank you. Her: hang up. Before I could ask to send video or jump on a FaceTime or WhatsApp video call... Done. Heck, Auntie could have offered the alternative but nope... Let's have you drive to us - see then if it doesn't work guess what?!? I'm SOL as I'm the one driving across town. I wish I had recorded so there's no debate about anything. I'm starting to realize ... People hate Black hair or They Hate the clientele That's just it. I was eager to try the place as 5a would help tremendously but I can't do 7 hours which may run over as I have a 1p pickup. And, nope I'm never the one to rush a stylist neither braider. Sadly, I've just been exposed to better and I'm beyond tired of the shenanigans while I'm definitely not the target market of social media promoter as I'm honest with all reviews. - no one wants to drive across town to be disappointed with color choices or a bad style - no one wants to lose their edges so trying someone new BECAUSE you're new in town is already a crap shot - no one wants a poor experience. I'm sure we all want a great final project with good service so we have a permanent go to place that will take care of us. - I can appreciate not knowing and saying it but go find out. - I can appreciate needing to see something but I'm the day and age of video and pictures then jump on WhatsApp and check me out. It's called a consult or virtual review if a label is needed But to gas up, drive across town and be stuck?! I'm not 20 nor 29. Nope, I'll spend my money where it's respected.
