Fadil African Hair Brading

I don’t want to give this place any stars because they don’t deserve any. Sadly to post a review I have to give one.
Let me be completely honest they have horrible attitudes and even worse skills when it comes to Senegalese twsist. I called early today to go as a walkin. I made it there and then was told i have to wait four hours no one can do the twist now. She called other ladies that all said they were too busy. Finally when she did do my hair her twist were sloppy and not the size I wanted. Prior to her completing one I asked to see it half way to eyeball if that was the right size. It wasn’t and I told her but she wanted to continue twisting to the end as if that would make a difference. She had to take it out because like I stated before it wasn’t the size I want but she did it with much attitude and sucking of the teeth. At one point she swung the braid at me for me to see it in a rude way! Called her out on this rude unprofessional behavior and she insisted she didn’t know what I was talking about. Someone else urged her to apologize and I reminded myself that I didn’t want to go to jail over braids. She suggested she finish braiding a few more. I bit my tongue and decided to let her finish the other three. After I asked for a mirror and it looked like an amateur did my hair. The parts were too big for the twist size and my hair was sticking out of the twist for crying out loud. I showed her and she said she can’t cover my hair. Really? A waste of f#!@?ing time.
Not to mention the location looks like an abandoned building on the inside, just a hot mess on so many levels. I had to walk! Never ever, ever, ever, ever eva will I go there again!

Hair came out really nice however. I will NOT be going back to this place. I am transitioning sister who is trying to find protective styles to keep my hair healthy as possible. Lady used a blow dryer without using HEAT protection spray on my hair. If anybody knows about natural black hair you are not suppose to use excessive heat on your hair especially a damn blow drier. She quoted me a price of 180 on the phone then when I got to the shop charged me 190. Talking about 10 dollars for the hair. I don’t think I will go back. Not friendly at all rude customer service. Appointment was at a certain time waited a damn hour before I was seen. If you come here to get your hair braided done or twisted don’t expect any smiley faces. Loves ripping out your hair with a fine tooth comb and blow drying with no heat protection. I should’ve asked to see her beautician license… really don’t believe any of them there have one.

This was my hair braiding shop when I lived in Cambridge. Bebe, my braider, always had my hair neat (and tight! Good Lawd!). Whenever she did my large, waist-​length, Senegalese twists I would get compliments for months (they lasted 8 weeks). In fact, some people thought my twists were my natural hair.
With such good work comes hella attitude. To say the least, don’t expect stylists in here to be like your neighborly cheery, chatty Trader Joe’s cashier. Expect some attitude, and many requests lost in translation, unless you speak French.

My experience at this braiding salon was completely unexpected from what I thought it would be. Not only were the braiders very nice and sociable with me but they did an excellent job doing my hair. I got micro-​braids done in just under 5 hours which took me completely by surprise. Although the parking situation was awful the ladies were understanding and didn’t get upset when I showed up late for my appoinment. Overall I had a good experience and would go there again.
