“I had both of my girls’ hair braided here (boho style), and we had such a great experience! Everyone was super friendly, the salon was clean with a great vibe, and the pricing was fair. They were flexible with my arrival time, which I really appreciated. My girls love their hair and have already received so many compliments 💜✨ Thank you—we’ll definitely be back!”
“Made an appointment Saturday morning at 7a and I was in the chair by 9a. Koumba and her team are so sweet and the environment is always very welcoming! I was out of the chair by 1p and I had waist length twists! Can't recommend this place enough :)”
