Girlfriends African Hair Braiding & Weaving

Buyer beware! This place is full of money grubbing vultures! Waiting at the door at 7am to take your money. I went in this past weekend to get a pixey bob done. I walked out with a hot mess. First they over priced for their services by $ 30 – 50. They tell you three people will be braiding your hair to cut time in half but after you pay you start to feel the braiders falling off your head and navigating to someone else’s head. Leaving the slowest and most inexperienced one there to finish the braiding nightmare. Where is the convinence in that if your not going to stay braiding my hair!!! All the time I was there they were arguing amongst each other in french and I thought they would come to blows at any second. In any language you can tell they are arguing. I believe it was over money because one lady went to her purse and paid another one. Which was very unprofessional. Back to the hair do from hell. The hair do did not require invisible boxes. The boxes should have been bigger. They took very small strans of my hair to attach a very large braid. As if they were doing micro braiding. Afterwards the hair do never favored or came close to the look I was going for. The lady did not want to burn the ends of my hair which was a requirement of pixey braid. She never dipped my braids in hot water to secure the lock on the braids. The type of hair used was very coure synthatic hair. It had a cheap feel to it. I beleive at the end of the day I got sholder length corn rows and not the pixey braid bob I was wanting.

This is the worst place I have been to, to get my hair done. I wanted to have my locks retwisted and it was a disaster. Had three people doing my hair and it came out bad!!! its locks, how hard can it be to twist hair?75 $ later had the worst hair do of my life. Don’t waste your time and money. And the people there are rude.

I wasn’t going to write a review but I figured this is the only way to help others out when looking for a good braider. Two braider did my box braids. Sometimes a third girl would hop in and help out. One lady started the individual braid off and the other lady finished off the braid. I wouldn’t recommend that method because I can tell by looking at my braid that two ppl braided one braid. They talked REALLY loud in French the entire time. My headphones could barely cover up their loud talking. They were talking to each other for a really long time as if they never see each other. It took 4.5 hours to do medium individual box braids. They charged 210 plus They only provide two bags of hair. If you need more you have to buy it from them for 6 dollars a bag. There is a fee if you use your credit card… So I wouldn’t recommend going here. I wish I would’ve went somewhere else. My coworker recommended a lady in garland. Her work looked great but I didn’t want to drive the distance to garland and bank. I hope this review helps someone

They use black soot (yes, soot) to braid your hair on top of the gel which leaves your hair incredibly dirty and itchy. You have to wash it off immediately (defeats the purpose) if you don’t, your hair will break in bunches right at the spot where your hair meets the extension.
If you care at all about your hair, pass on this place. Fatima’s up the street is more professional and does not add dirty gunk that will break your hair

Well I know i started out giving them a good review but sorry to say i have to take it back pretty much all I can say is that it wasn’t even a month and my micro braids began to come out from the root, i am now bald around my edges and after talking to another professional braider i was told that the ends should never be braided also that the woman who braided my hair should have done a consultation to let me know because of the grade of hair that i have that the micro braids would not hold to well and that another braid style would have been better. I called the shop back to let them know what was happening with my braids and the owner sounded like she wanted to take care of the problem but when I called back to set up an appointment no one ever answered the phone or would return my calls when i did leave a message, for the 240.00 dollars that I spent the service needs to be better but lesson was learned on this one and the next time I go to a shop to get my hair braided i will be asking all the right questions
