Sahel African Hair Braiding

I had some box braids done 3 weeks ago. I should’ve known something was up when after my braids were completed, they were not tight. I had no pain at all and my edges were mostly left out, my edges are not as long as the rest of my hair. I was ok with this because I don’t want my hair pulling at the edge . I will tell you, they looked neat once I left the shop. However, 1 week later, some of the braids were so loose to the point that I could pull the braid off of my hair. I went back up there (to a different braider as I did not see the woman who originally braided my hair)to get my braids fixed (tightened) and the young lady asked me “Did you swim”? I told her no I had not gone swimming.. then she says “Well maybe it’s your hair type”. Ladies, I’ve been natural for over 10 years, 4c hair. I’ve never paid $200 for box braids only to have them lose 1 week later and I wear braids quite a bit. Just thought I’d try a new place since I’m new to the area. Now it’s been about 3 weeks and it l

The ladies are nice here, but the quality of braids are horrible. I had braids done a few days ago and they’re already falling off. You tell the ladies what you want and even show them a picture, but they end up doing something completely different that’s subpar. A complete waste of money coming here.

It was okay. The young lady who started my braids was very sweet and was doing a gd job. She left and the owner ( i am guessing) finished. Some of the braids are much shorter than the rest especially when trying to pull the hair up in a ponytail. She didn't tie the ends off so some started unraveling and I was braiding them back up to keep them from coming undone. She did an okay job but not the quality of braiding I am used to getting.
