I was looking for a stylist and decided to take a chance searching on Google. So many braiding salons came up. After 45min. online I made a choice and booked an appointment with Tina. My experience was great! Tina was professional, patient, friendly, and skilled in her craft. I love my braids! They were neat, beautiful, comfortable and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Tina's African Hair Braiding.Posted on Jessica FlaxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tina is great. her customer service is A1. she fast funny and caring. Got me and my niece hair done today it was the best. Glad I found Tina we love our hair. Thanks again Tina for everything.Posted on Elizabeth CohenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had to come back and edit my review. Although Tina was personable and did a beautiful job on my children's hair, I believe the braids were to tight. Around the perimeter of their hair they developed a fungi rash. Not sure if it was from the tightness or from dirty comb that was used on a client right before them. Other than that great service but both my daughters need treatment now.Posted on Mary BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
