Mariame African Hair Braiding

I had an amazing experience at the hair salon. Very affordable service. Kind human beings and even better environment. My hair looks so natural and neat. I can't wait to go back. I can't recommend this place enough. The hair was provided, my natural hair was washed, and the color was A1. Perfect!!!

Easy to schedule appointments. Had my braids more than 3 months. Only needed to "touch up" the edges.

They all work well together as a team. I love my hair!

Don’t go there! They are a rip off. They did my daughters boho knotless braids and within 2 days the boho curls were coming out. She had already returned to Miami to go back to college and they said the only way they could fix it was if she came back. The stylist admitted they were braided incorrectly. I’m warning you, don’t go there! The owner is a scammer. Go to Fatu African braids.

Precious, Ariel, and Ida are amazing to work with! This is the third time that I have been back from them to do my hair , first was faux locs, Brad crown design, and now kinky twist!

I just left this establishment. Let me start off by saying these women were amazing. I walked out feeling great. I was treated with kindness and respect. I came as a walk-in but that didn’t deter them from giving me the ultimate customer experience. They were very accommodating. The service included the hair which was a bonus for me. Very affordable and worth EVERY dollar! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

The most beautiful braids I have ever gotten! I made an appointment for 7 am and they had me in and out long before noon. They were fast, efficient, and very nice ladies! I would definitely come back here.

Came to get my hair done , they were so nasty and disrespectful in there. I hate when people have bad manners and bad customer service skills when you work with customers all day. There place was hot and stunk so bad.most disgusting experience I ever experienced .

I love coming here to get my hair braided. Ida and the other young lady that braids my hair does a wonderful job. Thank you guys for always doing a great job with my hair. Also for the price the hair is included which is even better for the price.

The person who was initially going to do my hair canceled, so I stopped by here to see how much it'd be for medium kinky twists -- I was told $200. Mind you, the initial person who was going to do my hair was only going to charge me $180, and I have someone I go to in Jacksonville who does quality small-medium kinky twists for $140 -- who's board and state certified and works in a salon. While $200 is affordable to some people, since I know of other people who charge significantly less, it wouldn't have financially been a smart decision to get my hair done here. Other reviews say that the prices are affordable, which is why I stopped by; it's unfortunate that wasn't the case for me. I'll still give 3 stars for this review because I can't speak to the quality of the work done here.

Unfortunately got my hair braided and next week the braids started falling out.

May 05, 2024

I was unsure about getting my hair braided since I'd only had my hair braided once in my adult life and I'm 51. When I got there Tammy was there waiting for me at 6 a.m. I felt at ease with her from the start. Tammy braided my hair in under 3 hours. There was no pain even though I expected there would be. She was done so fast, I was shocked, just under 3 hours. My hair is so beautiful. I feel so good about myself now. Its worth every dime. I'm taking my daughter to get her hair done next week.

This was my daughters first time getting box braids and she was so excited and nervous but all the women working here made her feel so comfortable and were so patient and kind with her! I highly highly recommend bringing your children or yourself here. It's difficult finding hair braiders to do kids hair and everyone here was amazing with my daughter! One last thing they supplied everything!

Took me in as a walk in after I was cancelled with my original braider 2 times. Exceptional quality work didn't deny me because of my hair texture either 🫶🤞 I will most definitely be back

Grew my hair out and decided to get it plated and this shop did it awesome. I definitely recommend getting your hair braided here. If I could rate 100 stars I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I left looking flawless! ATL in the building!

I like this place I go often! Ms Irene is my favorite .

Feb 05, 2024

I love my hair! I will come back definitely

The efficiency is unmatched. Any style you present to the ladies they will come very close to and make it look beautiful on you. I just have a few complaints and you can decide if its worth the effort/money. They do not accept credit/debit only cash. Because my hair is longer than 10 inches I pretty much get $100 tacked on to my price. They only have rattail combs so if you need a detangle or wash they will only use a fine tooth comb. The shop is not as clean as most of the ladies are tending to customers or children. I brought my mom and she was presented other items in the store to purchase and she was asking prices but there was a smart remark about how she was just making sure the price was final turned me off from ever returning.

Feb 05, 2024

These ladies did a wonderful job! They were fast and gentle and did exactly as I asked. The price was affordable but do note it is cash only. I love my hair 10/10 definitely recommend!

Feb 05, 2024

They friendly and fast and do your hair right and neat love them

Very nice ladies
