SHADE AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING

Shade and her sister both worked on my twists (I have a lot of natural hair) They were extremely professional, fast, friendly and open to my "white girl" questions. I've always wanted my hair twisted and they made this happen. Shade even took me to match my hair color with what to purchase, plus cute little clips. I'm so pleased with the outcome!! I will absolutely return!! I highly recommend Shade to anyone looking for African braids/hairstyles of any sorts, after all she was trained in Africa.

We drove over an hour for a scheduled appointment. The woman was half hour late. Get to the shop then she states that she needed to go pick up her sister, leaving myself and my children alone in the shop which to me was very awkward and unprofessional. Granted she came back twenty minutes later with her sister and her two kids who were quite pleasant! I do agree with the hair style not being done tight enough in the front because in the same week my daughter's braids came out! Was going to go back for myself but it's not worth $180 for box braids that don't even last a week, and for someone who makes you wait well over your scheduled time! I'm going back to Joyce's in Bolingbrook, she is very professional and does it from her own home which is lovely by the way!

Shade braiding was prompt professional and very welcoming, her shop is peaceful and she has an awesome personality. She took time to explain how to care for my braids and even offered to assist me with taking the hair down. My hair was damaged from micros and she helping me strengthen my crown. I had a wonderful experience with the lemonade braids she completed for my birthday. I will continue to come back to her am I also encourage others to as well. Very talented braider
