1st-I don't have short hair. 2nd-I called inquiring about you doing my DAUGHTER'S HAIR, not mine. I asked how much you would charge to wash, deep condition, and cornrow my daughter's hair, to which you informed me you don't wash clients hair; they wash their own before coming to you, and that you didn't have that type of equipment because you worked out of your home. I never offered you $40; money never changed hands, and I have an aversion to cash...I use plastic, so you posted not only a rude response, but an outright lie, as well. The reason for the 1 star review is because you were very rude when I called, and you have shown it was well deserved. Have a good day.

I highly recommend Awa if you’re looking for a professional and experienced hair stylist. I love my hair and will continue to go to her. She listen to my wants and was sure to give me what I wanted. Thank you again Awa keep up the great work.

I recently had my hair done by awa and had the best experience. It started off a little hectic as we had to run and purchase hair a few times but awa was very understanding and patient and even with the running around she still managed to complete my hair at the time she quoted me. My hair is full and impeccably done and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone inquiring where to go.


Feb 05, 2024

My daughters hair turned out great, she got boho braids and I can't tell her nothing , I will be next to get mine done , Awa was funny, fast , she braids to grow your hair not to style.


Feb 05, 2024

Pieces of my hair didn't get braided and 5 weeks in it looks unkempt and the lady was to much in a hurry and kept on yelling at me for moving my head but she was pulling on my hair and had me drive her to the store for groceries too!

Awesome experience 🤟🏽 Great conversation, speedy service, and most importantly loving my braids

I have a lot of bald spots around my head, and let me tell you Awa has talent to make my head look full again. Thank you so much for your kindness, the care and passion you put into your work. It shows how much she puts in the effort to go the extra mile for the customer (me). Also the prices are really affordable for the talent that she has, I would say the best in Gainesville. I recommend her, very trustworthy.
