This was the second time Nadine has braided my natural hair. Joana was able to fit me in post lockdown both times and Nadine was ready for me when I arrived. I described how I wanted the braids with diamond shaped partings and showed Nadine a picture. She braided my hair exactly how I wanted it and I was very happy with the style. Nadine also gave me care advice to help keep the braids in longer by using a durag at night. They lasted almost 4 months! The salon is friendly and welcoming and the stylists are very experienced. Im glad I found this salon!
