I like the style, but the whole experience made me want to NEVER get my hair braided again!
First, I had a 9 am appointment and when I got there my braider wasn't there yet. So, I went up the block and got myself some breakfast, she arrived at about 9:30 (maybe that was a sign to cancel my appointment). So, she comes in asks me how I want my hair and asks me what color hair do I want, well my hair is like a brownish-goldish-red color so I said brown well the hair is much darker than my hair, but it doesn't look bad, it just is.
This woman/girl took 10 hours to do my braids. Another braider told me to ask for her the next time I come because she could've done my hair in 4-6 hrs!
The person who was doing my hair, kept talking, and laughing and just generally slacking off.
But here is the very worst part, when she braided my hair there was some of my hair strands coming out of the braids (does this mean she's not a good braider? would a good braider be able to incorporate more of my hair w/o making it stick out?) well the hair that was sticking out she cut....Lord, I hope that my hair doesn't look a hot choppy mess when I take these braids out. It's a good thing I had planned on gradually cutting off my dyed ends anyway, I guess this will speed up the process!
All in all, I like the braided style, but my head still hurts like a ****** this morning and last night it was hard to sleep. Oh and I paid $170 for my braids although I was quoted $120 over the phone!
