    I have been looking for a good braid shop since moving to the Tampa area. I have finally found one. I called hoping to get an appointment before Christmas and they got me in the same day! I got there at 4:30 pm and got right in the chair. I was there till almost 11pm. They all worked to get it done and my braids look 🔥🔥you would think I was the first customer. Thank you for taking your time and doing a great job on a last minute appointment. Definitely, give them a try.

    10/10. The best African shop I have been to! I got small knotless. The ladies were welcoming, clean,and professional. I usually dont like to post pictures on reviews but I know this helps out the people who wants to know if they should come or not. They answer is, YES!

  • Review 3 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommend! They were able to get me in the same day! They do excellent work, and very professional!

    Im from out of town, and decided to come here on 1/12/24 because of the good reviews that I saw. I made my appointment two days prior. I asked for Senegal twists. I am tender headed and a bit nervous when getting hair braided, but they did not disappoint. The shop is clean, and the ladies are friendly. They did my hair the way that I asked. I requested not to have the twists cleaned with the scissors, and they had no problem with that. Some places I have been to have a fit when I ask them not to clean them. They look great even without it. I would definitely come back again if I am ever back in town.

    I visited this salon and the young lady took good care of me and cornrow my hair so neat and quickly that I didnt even feel her hands on my head. I will be returning to get my hair braided again.Thanks for hooking me up!☺️✌️

  • Review 10 (2023-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere and love that I was able to add a shampoo service before getting my hair braided, so convenient! I called this morning and was able to come in after work.

  • Review 11 (2022-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    The shop was clean and service was fast, efficient and great! I reached out via Google and I gain a fast response scheduling my appt. I got there at 9am and she was ready. It took about 5hrs to complete my hair. She was gentle without me saying a thing, Im tender headed. All in all Im happy with the services and Id definitely return and refer the shop out! The first 3 are when I got them done. The last 3 are about 1.5 months later. They still look great and no pulling my edges out.

  • Review 12 (2022-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    So my wife left it to my Google Review expertise to find her first braid salon since moving to Tampa 8 years ago. We’ll my first choice made her day! We walked in to check the place out before selecting the online scheduling. We were able to schedule same day braids! My wife couldn’t have been more happy with the end results she hasn’t stopped smiling for the last 4 hours! She will be back. Shout out to the owner!!!
