African Queen Hair Braiding

Made an appointment for Saturday at 1:30 and the lady didn’t show up. At 3pm I decided to leave and reschedule for the next day at 10am. To only my surprise I get there and the lady isn’t there - she arrives an hour later with Dunkin’ Donuts like it was no big deal UNPROFESSIONAL. I asked for BOHO and before she tells me she can’t do the style she does this. And at first she tried to charge $220 no INCLUDING the price for hair and so GRACIOUSLY dropped it down $190 with hair fee. When I looked at the hair ???????? she only fed the hair through the top that was it, she didn’t even dip or trim it! I was there from 10-5pm. My girl was chomping and taking break after break. SAVE YOUR MONEY YOU HEAR DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. Take the train to 125th and catch someone who knows how to braid and wants to work. The woman at this shop- hard pass. Services: Braids, Box Braids

Late review but anyhoo i got my hair done in October. Made an appointment for 10 am on a Sunday morning and did not get my hair started until 1 pm. They lied and said that they open at 10 n if so how come someone was there before me. The taller woman did my hair and is very disgusting n had no manners. She was chewing her gum like a cow wearing no face mask n plus sneezed and didn’t wash her hands! She kept pausing and using her phone. I was there from 10-6pm. Very unprofessional and i will never go there again. Service: Box Braids

This morning was my first time coming to the shop after hearing about it from my cousin. My stylist, who I forgot to get the name of, was so sweet. She was very open about the difference between the style I wanted versus the style that I got, which are knotless box braids. She’s so knowledgeable about the different styles & the benefits of each one. Along with being kind, she was really professional & managed her time very well. She’s honest about the pricing; you very much are paying for what you get. Post the braids being done, she took even more time to dip my hair & apply products that will keep my hair lasting for a while. My appointment was for first thing in the morning, which I recommend highly. The shop itself was really clean & everything was in order; no hair on the floor, scraps, or anything of the source. I am really happy to have finally found a braid shop that crosses everything off on my list!
