My braids are always beautiful. Whenever I’m out and about I receive countless compliments. The service is always great and the staff is both friendly and welcoming.The atmosphere is comfortable. Most importantly  My hair remains healthy after each installment. I defiantly recommend having your hair done by Awa and her team.Service:&nbsp;Braids

This is my first time, maybe I’ll come back. They are horrible with appointment! I made an appointment on Monday, the lady was a no show. Reschedule for Friday, they lady didn’t even rennet she added me too her chair because of my missed appointment. She did a good job doing my hair. My only complaint is she didn’t leave me any edges and pulled my edges so tight. Hopefully they loosen up. Overall she was fast done with crochet braids in two hrs.

Had a great experience here. Very hospitable and quick service! My braids were clean and look like they will last long.Service:&nbsp;Braids

I had a great experience at Akwaba Hair Braiding.  I've been coming here on and off for the past 3 or 4 years now and I am always pleased with the end result of my hair.  The ladies are very accommodating of my need for a gentle touch since I am quite tender headed. They also provide hand sanitizer and maintain wearing their masks which made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend going here!

I have been here twice. Both times have been a success. I have really thick hair so it has always taken at least 5 hours. I thought the stylist were nice and worked together. I even had 4 to 5 people working my head one day. My two complaints are that I have extremely coily/tangly thick hair and both times the blow drying experience to stretch my coils has been miserable. Also I have lost a few braids, that they have placed back in for me. I don't want to say that was due to them that the braids slipped out, but it could have been due to my coily hair and the length. I have have had the 2 strand twist and the medium box braids done. I may go back soon, because while the braids do add a lot of stress on my hair back to back braiding, it did help my scalp breath and stimulate growth. Also, there was not a long wait to be seen, having a toddler, work, and a life; I can truly appreciate this! Oh as far as price, my friends told me that I overpaid :, but I guess at least they looked good. :  7yr Update: I have been going to this business for 7 yrs now. I have had some great braiders. Awa, does a great job with keeping good braiders in the show. My hair looks amazing yet again. Coordinate your appt with your stylist and express what time works best and if you have somewhere to be at a set time, communicate it. I'm very happy even with my style today. I have been to many braiders in the area and will say they are some of the best and I am EXTREMELY picky about my hair! I have never had my hair done here and not gotten at least 10 to 15 compliments from men and women. Oh and price, they are better than a lot of places in the area.

This is absolutely the Best Hair Braiding shop I've been to. The ladies are absolutely wonderful and very friendly!! Me and my friend had awesome conversations here and felt very welcome!!! The #1 most important FACT about this shop is that they braid your hair without trying to rip your hair out. Your hair will be beautiful without the need to take Tylenol after to lay down!! Totally Awesome!!!

Lela and Emma are awesome and are  great doing Goddess braids and crown rows.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The service was not so great but my hair came out amazing. I got box braids in a bob and the price they told me on the phone was not the same price they told me when I walked in. They also tried to jack up the price when they saw how much hair I had and how thick it was. They also tried to convince me to dipped my ends when I clearly stated over again that I wanted them burnt. But despite all of this I loved the way my hair came out and they lasted for a while. So if you can deal mediocre service but bomb results then go for it.

Great!!! My appointment was at 9am and I was out by 3pm. Christine did my Senegalese and I love them. In this salon the ladies are all about getting you in and out. There was not a lot a breaks and talking going. Christine only stopped to get more braiding hair and used the restroom twice. You will be very happy with the salon and your hair style!!!
