Anyway, I noticed there hasn't been a review for this establishment for a while so I thought I'd leave one, since I never have before. Black female owned salon, reasonable prices, and they can do any style imaginable. I normally get my hair braided. And this isn't those salons you see on social media with the crazy deposits or late fees or whatever for appointments. Don't know what that's about. Covid safe, they do wear masks. And they are genuinely nice ladies, always laughing and having a good time. Certainly go here!

She has a clean and hygienic salon. When I compare her to other stylists she's the best. I've had a few bad experiences with hair braiders, literally every time I tell them to not braid my hair too tight and "I don't care if the braids slip off next week just don't braid my hair too tight." I don't want headaches or skin pimpling because the braids are too tight. Amber actually listened. Problem solved. Also, I wear glasses. Most stylists would always tell me take them off and I've had a few bad experiences where I thought I was going to have to tape my glasses to my forehead because braids were too close and tight near my ears. Amber asked me questions about how often I wear my glasses. In some instances she insisted I keep my glasses on while she braided near my ears, so she can make sure my glasses fit with the braids. Amber is amazing and I would highly recommend her. She cares about hair and you. She's very knowledgeable.

Listen... when I tell you this experience was worth it, I mean it. I had a 4AM appointment and…read moredrove all the way from Orange County, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! First off, the location was super easy to find, which already made the early morning drive less stressful. When I walked in, the salon was BEAUTIFUL. The vibe was straight Black Girl Magic; clean, relaxing, and honestly felt like a little spa moment instead of just a hair appointment. Before the braids even started, her assistant gave me the BEST wash I have had in over 10 years. I'm not exaggerating. It was gentle, thorough, and my scalp felt amazing. You can tell they actually care about healthy hair, not just getting you in and out. My hair was washed and braided in about 3.5 hours, which is incredible for braids. Her assistant was fast and organized, and their whole system just works. No bsing, no waiting around, everything just flowed. I am not the type to sit around 6+ hours to get my hair braided, I refuse! My brain is too hyper for that. These braids are GORGEOUS, neat, not too tight, and just overall perfect.I can honestly say I've found my new salon home. The professionalism, the vibe, the care for healthy hair: 10/10. 100% recommend. I already can't wait to go back.

I even had one person attempt to cut fly aways and ended up cutting my actual bangs. When I took out my braids and noticed my bangs about 2 inches long, I cried. I found The Braid Factory on Yelp and I'm so glad I did! I've seen Theresa twice and have left happy every time. I'm a little OCD about things but she did a perfect job. My braids were super tight and done evenly. They looked fresh up until I decided to take them out. I was in and out quickly, without long waits. I definitely recommend Theresa and The Braid Factory. This is the only person I will let braid my hair from now on.

With my upcoming neck surgery they were going to be shaving the back of my head & I will be unable to brush my hair (about 24") for several months. I had no idea what service I should book for, when I called Ebony was able to book me an appointment for box braids using just my natural hair. The next day I had my appointment with Alexis and she was great about asking for what I wanted and she also explained what to expect. The appointment was great and I was so glad I made the decision to start my journey with them. It was time for my next set and i had the same great experience with Ebony, this time she booked me with Sheri. Another beautiful set of box braids using only my natural hair. While there I excitedly found myself looking forward to booking my next appointment with Ebony so she can add the colors back to my hair that I had to shave for surgery. These are the recent braids Sheri did, these were small box braids with my natural hair (these were progress pictures for surgery so I apologize the hair is not the main items in the picture)

I recently had the unfortunate experience of visiting DeShaunte who left me utterly disappointed…read moreand frustrated. From the moment I stepped into the salon, it was clear that professionalism was not a priority for this stylist. Deshaunte was very unprofessional. Did a horrible job on my service. I messaged and asked if there could be anything done about how bad my service was and she said no there was nothing she could do. My head was throbbing and I took the style out immediately. As she began working on my hair, it was evident that she lacked the necessary skills and expertise. My requests for a birthday style were met with uncertainty, and she seemed unsure of what she was doing. Furthermore, her lack of hygiene was alarming. Not only did she fail to sanitize her hands before touching my hair, but her workstation appeared messy and disorganized. This raised serious concerns about the overall cleanliness of the salon. The final result was nothing short of disastrous. It was clear that the stylist had not paid attention to my requests, resulting in a style that was uneven and completely different from what I had asked for. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, she became defensive and dismissive, refusing to acknowledge her mistakes. In conclusion, my experience with this unprofessional hairstylist was extremely disappointing. From her lack of skill to her poor hygiene and disrespectful behavior, it was evident that she was not committed to providing a professional and satisfactory service. I would strongly advise anyone considering this salon to think twice before entrusting their hair to such an unprofessional hairstylist.

Please do yourself a favor and do not go here. My mom went in to get her hair dyed and came out…read morewith severely damaged hair--literally burned off. The result was so bad it looked like a DIY disaster, not something she paid $300 for. Yes, $300 for what can only be described as a hair tragedy. The quality of the dye job was abysmal, and the service was just as bad. Any professional with an ounce of integrity would have been embarrassed to charge even a dollar for the mess they created. Instead, they took hundreds and ruined her hair. Update - 6/28/25: I've added two photos that show just how awful the color came out. When we raised concerns, Mary--the stylist--claimed that unless your hair is "virgin" (i.e., never dyed), there's no guarantee for good results. That's a ridiculous excuse for botched work. If your stylist can't work with previously dyed hair, they shouldn't be offering color services at all. If you value your hair, your money, or even just basic respect--go somewhere else. Hazte un favor y no vayas a este lugar. Mi mamá fue a teñirse el cabello y salió con el pelo literalmente quemado. El resultado fue tan malo que parecía un desastre hecho en casa, no algo por lo que pagó $300. Sí, $300 por lo que solo puede describirse como una tragedia capilar. La calidad del trabajo fue pésima, y el servicio igual de terrible. Cualquier profesional con un mínimo de ética se habría avergonzado de cobrar siquiera un dólar por el desastre que hicieron. En cambio, le cobraron cientos y arruinaron su cabello. Actualización - 28/06/25: He agregado dos fotos que muestran lo horrible que quedó el color. Cuando expresamos nuestra preocupación, Mary --la estilista-- dijo que, a menos que tu cabello sea "virgen" (es decir, nunca teñido), no se puede garantizar un buen resultado. Esa es una excusa ridícula para justificar un mal trabajo. Si una estilista no puede trabajar con cabello teñido previamente, entonces no debería ofrecer servicios de coloración. Si valoras tu cabello, tu dinero o simplemente el respeto básico, ve a otro lugar.
