I got my hair braided today and I honestly had a great experience from start to finish. Ming was super down to earth and easy to talk to we shared som...e laughs and the whole appointment felt really comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention, she did an amazing job on my hair! I love how it turned out. Definitely recommend and I’ll be coming back!
