Journey Braids

As a busy professional, I appreciated her flexibility, her neatness (I got Marley twists!), and only the twists taking roughly 3 and ½ hours to do TOTAL! Highly recommend!!!

I’ve been getting my hair braided by Destiny for a while now. She is very professional and quick at what she does! Not only do I LOVE ALL my hairstyles she does, but so does everyone else, I’m ALWAYS getting compliments left & right. Destiny is the BEST!!!

Quick, reliable, and affordable! My marley twist give me life! So many compliments. Thank u for making prettier

I have gone to Destiny of Journey Braids several times. She is my go to person when I want braids. She is fast and professional. I always leave very happy! I always get lots of compliments and have passed her number along to quite a few people that have had the same experience as I have.

Destiny is amazing! Affordable price plenty of styles to choose from and most importantly she makes you feel comfortable. Her skills are very impressive it gets done like no time is wasted!

I meant to write this review a while ago. I got my hair done by Destiny and it is still beautiful! I got individuals and they are very neat and did not take long. I texted her and she was very easy to communicate with! She also was very affordable and pleasant to be around! I highly recommend her :)

Let me start by saying that Iam very picky & hard to please.
I contacted Destiny and a few other people at 8am, she was the first to respond which worked in my favor, because I initially admired her work. I made an appointment and got my hair done the same day. She was fast so I was in & out in about 4 hours.
Over all my experience was great and my hair looks great.
*Affordable Prices $
* Great Communication
* Comfortable Atmosphere
* No Hassel, No fuss
Thank you Destiny… # Satisfied Customer

My daughter had her braided and the braids look great! Destiny was very professional and finished my daughter’s hair quickly. I’ll be back again soon.

Would not keep appt that was set ahead of time. When she needed to reschedule she gave off an unpleasant attitude that was totally uncalled for via text. Screenshot in the photos. I would definitely not recommend her services.

Journey Braids are definitely amazing! The 1^st time I got my hair done, I was getting compliments even until they were OLD and had to be taken out. They lasted me about 2 months. I’m a college student so I’d recommend any college student to Journey Braids. Overall, they’re very durable, long lasting, & you have a beautiful turn out. It didn’t take long and scheduling was quick and easy. Yay! I’m a fan.

I went to Destiny to get Marley twists for the first time and I am absolutely in LOVE. I have rocked box braids, Senegalese twists, and imitation dreads and have to say that these Marley twists are by far my favorite! I wanted to try something new and I found Destiny on Unilocal and I’m so glad I made that initial appointment. I have a silkier grade of hair so as much as I love wearing braids/​twists as a protective style, they never last long in my hair because they easily slip out so I always felt like in the end I was wasting my money. I did some research and came across Marley twists which require a kinkier brand of hair. I have had my twists for 2.5 weeks and none have slipped! Destiny has reasonable prices, she’s friendly, and fast. I also like that she doesn’t use cheap products in your hair. I am a happy and satisfied client who will definitely be returning in the future!

I was referred to Destiny after being stood up by another Braider a week prior. My hair is growing back from a serious perm burn so although anxious I was still a bit hesitant on getting my hair braided for different reasons. I decided to schedule an appointment and a week later I am still a very happy and satisfied customer. Not only was she fast and reasonably priced but she also allowed me to leave and return because I had a family obligation that she was very understanding of. I am really glad I allowed her to braid my hair and a week later I’m still being complimented on my Senegalese Twists. I will definitely be using her for all of my future braiding needs.

I love my hair, like LOVE and I get countless compliments from all walks of life. It took less time than I thought and they look more amazing than I could have ever anticipated

Destiny is the best! I found Destiny on Unilocal and made an appointment for marley twist. I had been going to another braider for a while and suffered from painful twist that caused breakage. I’ve had my hair done twice by Destiny and loved it both times, her method of invisible twists not only did not hurt my scalp, but I am very excited about the new growth that I have and that the breakage from the other braids is starting to grow out as well. My twists are on the larger side so they go pretty fast the last time was 2.5 hours… Yes!!! I am always giving her number to people that stop me on the street about my twists. You can’t go wrong with Destiny and Journey Braids!

I found Destiny on Unilocal and liked some of the photos shown of her work. I had never gotten Senegalese twists before and so was skeptical about the turnout but I was very pleased with her work. She was so patient and thorough. It did take a while to get used to how heavy the twists felt on my hair, but it was worth it. She will be my new go-​to braids stylist.

Seriously! This ‘business’ is a joke. I regretfully write this review as I was EXTREMELY dissapointed with the services I received from Destiny. The people from Unilocal have failed me. But then again, I believe these are fake ‘5 star reviews’ that may possibly have been made up by friends because there’s no way that these reviews are real.
Let’s begin with the environment. I contacted Destiny days prior to confirm appointment. I arrived on time at 10 am. However, the ‘business’ is not what I expected. «Journey Braids» is being operated in a nasty and disgusting section 8 apartment out of Long Beach. Im serious. As soon as i walked in, the was a foul odor with yucky, and unclean carpet with stains everywhere. There was no furniture with TOYS EVERYWHERE! OMG! What on God’s green earth was even thinking? I told myself multiple times to just calm down and I kept ‘Yelp Reviews’ in the back of my mind to keep me there.
She started right on time and was pleasant. Thats about the only positive thing I have. She was done almost 7 hours later and i was so distastefully displeased. The parts were soooooo uneven and crooked. It looked like a 5 year old with 1 hand and 3 fingers did my extensions. All of my friends and family laughed at me. As I’m writing this review, Im getting upset. So I’m logging off.
EDIT: 10/​25/​2014
After many weeks of getting my so called hair braided from this FAKE business, I decided to write more after I cooled off (or so I thought). Please take a look at the so called’braids’ that she had the audacity to charge me $ 100 for. I’m still upset the fact that the people of Unilocal have sincerely disappointed me. But then again, I still stand by my statement that these must be reviews by her friends or family because there’s no way that this girl even went to school for hair. Please go to a better LICENSED hairstylist, because this girl isn’t it! And BTW… it took me over a WEEK (about 3 washes) to completely wash out the amount of edge control that this girl abused in my hair. SMH.
BUYER BEWARE… HER REVIEWS ARE FAKE!!!

Soo glad I got referred to Destiny! I was looking for someone to do my twists for a reasonable price before I went away to college and that’s when I got referred to Destiny. I am accustomed to sitting in the chair for a good 5+ hours getting my hair done and it took her half that time. I always get compliments on my hair and when I come back in town I will definitly go back to her.

Destiny did my two strand kinky twists and I was very happy. I most defwgo back to her again. Nice and fast. Just what I like!

Went to get my hair done by destiny and I love it she was so neat with her work and very professional I will definetly be back. And i love the consistency I see in her work.

I’ve gone to Destiny for my Kinky Twists at least 3 – 4 times and I know I’m in a professionals hands. She’s knowledgable in the types of hair needed to achieve different braided styles and my styles last long. Whether I need shorter length twists or long I get exactly what I expect and people are always complimenting on how great my styles look.
