Went to get box braids the stylist was braiding extremely too tight I told her not to braid so tight, it has been a week since I’ve had these braids and the pain is still there I couldn’t take them out the first day because my head was so sore to touch. I have been taking them down daily the best that I can since my scalp is sore, I feel it was a waste of money I have sores in my head and hair coming out with each braid I take down.
I would never give them my buisness ever again! The lady in the last chair (who I believe is the owner of the shop) is not friendly and her attitude was very nasty towards me. Also the lady who did my hair was huffing and puffing the whole time like she really didnt want to do my hair, I would never go there ever again! These people are very rude and unprofessional!
First I texted a picture to show what style I wanted but they didn’t do that style. The lady was braiding my hair so tight I started to cry and I had an appointment and wasn’t in the chair until 3 hours later. Now it’s 2 weeks and a braid came up and I have a bald spot. The braids were so tight that I had to take pain pills in order to sleep.
Horrible experience took my daughter a few weeks ago and the lady braided my daughter’s hair so tight she pulled out half her edges and she now has a bald spot in the front center of her head my baby had sores all in the back of her head I took those braids out immediately and I will never take my daughter back to this place ever again.
Yess I first called asking them how long will it take to do kinky twist cause I had somewhere to be by 5pm.The lady clearly told me I would be done & out of here by 3pm which was a lie there were also three peoples in my head which my braids are going to be uneven.Never returning.

2020-10-27I like this shop the price is always reasonable. Most shops charge wayyyy too much money and you still have to sit and wait for someone to come do your hair. I got crochet locs this is my first time getting them. Everyone like the style on me i dont think it fits me plus she used way to much hair. Im having a hard time getting it in a ponytail. I will definitely be back to get my hair done here again. This will be visit number 4. If you want professional clean and reasonable price I suggest you come here.

2020-08-31I have come here many years and every time I schedule an appointment the braider is always late. I never complained until this last time. I arrived at the shop and no one was there. I kept calling the owner with no answer. I finally received a call back 30 mins later saying the person who was scheduled to braid my hair needed a ride due to mechanical issues. Which meant she never left the house at a time to be at the shop by 10 am anyways if you’re just communicating this. I said no worries will you be willing to provide some sort of compensation for me waiting and she said no. Not $5. Not $10. Nothing. At that point, I realized me going here for years meant nothing and I refused to go back. Its nothing worse than disrespecting people’s time.

2021-04-22I was a faithful customer coming here for months. Then all of a sudden they stopped answering my calls. Im not sure what I did as a customer to be treated like that except call days in advance to make an appointment, come on time for those appointments & tip (at first). Then all of a sudden the last 2 times I made an appointment it was issues for the stylist. I had an appointment scheduled and literally on my way to the appointment I got a text saying something happened and could I come in the next day. I informed her I couldnt come the next day because I work that next day (which is why I SCHEDULED an appt for when I did) then she said to come in later that same day which I did, it was a last min change for me but I made it work. The next appt I made I got to it ON TIME & no one was there! I called and was told something happened on her end AGAIN and could I come in the next day. Once again I couldnt because I had to work. So again last min had to come in later that day even though I had appointments both times. Even with all the issues coming from their end I still tried to come back because I genuinely loved the braiders work. Now they wont even answer the phone for me as if I did something wrong. My time was not respected or taken into consideration TWICE and now you cant even answer the phone for me? What did I do wrong as a customer to be treated this way when I worked around YOUR issues more than once? Customers shouldnt be treated this way especially loyal ones who genuinely like the work you do.

2021-05-26This braiding shop is amazing. Nado is extremely nice and she is able to make any hair style you ask for better than you can even imagine. The shop is clean, peaceful, and pleasant. Thank you for serving me.

2021-07-23I had been going to Victoire African Hair Braiding since 2018. Always a good hair style, but most recently my hair has looked very old, not what I asked for and the worst micros I have ever had. Pattie normally does my micros braids. This time she had a attitude and didnt care how she did my hair. The braids big, hair sticking out and only 2weeks old. These are more like weak small box braids. Def not the micros I asked for focused of getting. I already lost 3 or 4. Also I have never bought over 2 packs of human hair for these braids. She told me after 3yrs, I didnt have enough packs of hair. They went up on the price for braids that took 2hrs less time than normal. A HUGE disappointment. I shouldve known better, she messed up my hair last time when I selected another style. I gave them a 2nd chance, but never again! Oh and I reached out to owner, sent pictures too. No response!

2021-04-13I got my hair braided for my birthday on such a short notice. This place was a lifesaver. Nado braided my hair in about 5 hours. It was very neat. I definitely will come back.

2020-10-03Does a great job! She takes her time with your hair and it always looks clean and neat. Only giving 4 stars because she takes awhile to respond to text/return calls but other than that she would get a 5 for her work because it is always great.

2020-08-01I noticed time was taken out early even before shop opened. She also made sure My highlights are in right spaces. Yea it’s tight to make it last, so I definitely come back.

2019-08-11I had an appointment, the stylist arrived 1 hr late. My hair was braided so tightly I had to take tylenol just to get through to the end. I am still taking tylenol daily just to sleep three days later.Clearly there was a communication problem because the style I wanted was not what I got and the price changed as well.(higher)The atmosphere was not friendly or engaging. The stylist only spoke with each other in their native language, not engaging the customers at all. Not a pleasant experience at all.
