Haircut 10 cornrows
by Ming Chow-Yen
I had a comfortable time at Trim and Proper. I was very nervous arriving as this was my first time getting braids. Ming educated me on what to do with... my braids and recommended to me where to find products. I appreciated that a lot. Show more

Loc retwist half head
by Ming Chow-Yen
Had my first appointment with Ming last month, and she did an amazing job with my retwist. I had two locs that were thinning near the base due to brea...kage and she was able to reattach them with no issue. She also gave me a lot of helpful tips on how to keep my locs healthy and prevent the thinning/breakage from reoccurring. 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to my next appointment! Show more

You are so welcome. I was really impressed by how your son sat through the process. I really hope he enjoys the braids. Maybe next time you can book a service for yourself; maybe some highlights, a trim or even some facial waxing 😉.
