Had my hair done a couple of years ago. Very friendly atmosphere if you're in the mood for party music but...as a hairdresser myself, quite a few things made me cringe (starting with the dollar shop scissors. At one stage I had three people working on my hair (one of them had come in for a job interview and was put to work straight away. She nearly collapsed with exhaustion after an hour). My braids weren't consistent in size as a result. The ends were finished with a cigarette lighter (rather than dipping in boiled water for a softer finish) and this was quite uncomfortable later on. They also took to the braids with clippers afterwards to cut off pieces of my own hair that were poking out (not sure if there actually should have been hair poking out in the first place). The coloured pieces I had put in didn't feel like a quality product and they itched so much that I took them out and rebraided them myself. When other customer's came into the shop, the owner wasn't very polite to them and would talk about them with me after they left. I can only imagine what she would have said about me after I left! Glad I did it but decided I would never do it again. I've since done them myself with a much nicer (and more comfortable!) result.

Ordered products online. No confirmation email, no receipt. Emailed them twice and haven't received a response. Tried to call them, no answer. Wish I had read the reviews prior to placing an order.

Despite poor reviews this may be people’s expectation vs reality. They where very gental and caring for my 3yo getting cornrows with pink. Great result. I recommend

I will never return, and don't recommend this shop to any one! the customer service there is horrible. I was a first time customer, so I asked a question about the authenticity of an African food ingredient they sell, the lady responded rudely, and in her anger and arrogance she insulted and condemned people of my nationality. I was shocked and horrified actually. It was so offensive and completely unacceptable.

My partner went there the first time to do a rat/horse tail extension on the top of his head, it turned out well because a different lady did it . A few weeks later he went again to re-do it. We do not know who the lady is who is always sitting down (maybe the owner), she was very rude, she did not do a good job and also cut his hair without informing him about it. I suggest you do not go there, it is also 15 just for a 7inch thin extension. We got it done at a cheaper place with quality service and outcome..
