About

Customers are split down the middle. Many love the speed and the neatness of the braids, calling it a go-to spot. However, a significant number of people report serious hair damage, long wait times, and a feeling of being talked about in another language. It's a place where you might get a great style, but the customer service experience is often lacking.
