About

Macenta African Hair Braiding is a polarizing salon. While some clients are happy with the speed and price, there are frequent, serious complaints about cleanliness, unprofessional staff, and poor service quality. It's a place that seems to be a 'hit-or-miss' and is often described as a 'hole-in-the-wall' with significant hygiene issues.
