Rayna at raynas hair studio in kent has done an amazing job the two times I have went to her...and she is fast and doesnt braid too tight when you ask her not to. I left the salon the other day and none of the normal searing scalp pain. And it lasts over three months if you get good hair. I wont leave it in that long next time though, my hair underneath started to matt. If I remember I will post a pic or two
