Tina did a wonderful job on my hair😍 I love it so much, by far it is the best twist I have gotten done. I usually get my hair done in the city, but after coming to Tina, it is definitely worth the trip. The shop and atmosphere is cozy, cute and the music has such a vibe. Her prices were very reasonable, along with an additional $15 discount for time customers. I'll definitely be coming here from now on.Posted on A.
