Always feel like a true queen after leaving Crowning Queens Hair Lounge. There’s absolutely no one else I’d trust for perfect boho braids for my weddi...ng day. Shani’s work is the best! The moment she finished my braids I felt like the most beautiful bride ready to walk down the aisle. For the best braids in the Bay Area look no further than Crowning Queens
