I definitely recommend Abby. She never fails at any style. She has me right with my braids and protective styles for my hair. She is very versatile with styles for me and my kids.

I found her on Google, so I was skeptical. My hair came out better than I expected. I got so many compliments — yes, I was very cute for my birthday. She was very accommodating and efficient. Thanks!

She did my touch-up and I really loved her work. I will definitely be back for her to do my whole head. Very neat braids and it didn't take her long — definitely recommend her for braids.

Rashidat did Fulani Boho knotless braids for me, and it came out beautifully. Her and her sister were very accommodating and great at communicating prior to the appointment.

I absolutely LOVE my mini twists. They weren't too tight and on top of that, they were done in 5 hours. Previously I've sat 12 hours to get this style. I most definitely will be going back!!!

Let me tell you this — I will definitely be back again and again! My experience was excellent from start to finish. I booked a first-time, last-minute emergency appointment and was accommodated quickly. When I arrived, my hair was started immediately. If you've ever gotten braids before, you know how rare that can be! There were very few distractions and the salon was very clean.

Abbey have been braiding my hair for 6 years now. She is affordable, the braids last long. I love my hair when she braids it. Quality service, she takes walk-in and appointments. She is considerate and will have you come early or late when you need braiding for any event or last-minute call. I love Abbey and I know you will too.

Abby was the nicest — her and her sister was very professional and efficient. I arrived at her shop at 9:40 and by 10:30 she was done with half of my daughter's head, cornrows to the back, 7 braids on both sides. I'll definitely be back. Thank you ladies!

She was very attentive and professional. She braids FAST!!! We finished in 6 hours and she did both me and my twin's hair. This was our first time going to her for our twists and it won't be our last. She's very talented. Can't wait to go back.

Stylist is very warm, nice and comfortable. Her braids are very neat and she doesn't braid too hard. I would definitely recommend for anybody to come. The shop is very private, like two chairs, which is perfect for me. I will be back and they do not overcharge.

I do recommend this business. She did me a crochet with human water wave hair. She did an excellent job. She's very knowledgeable, very professional and easy to talk to. I do recommend this business highly.

The feed-in braids turned out beautifully! The smoothness and evenness of the braids showcase a flawless technique, with each section neatly blended into the next. The added extensions gave a natural, seamless flow that looks both sleek and voluminous.
