Crochet Braids and Weaves By Blessed

This review is a little old, but still pertinent.
Feb. 2016– I called to make an appt and get my hair done before a trip to Vegas. I was unable to get in with the main braider, but was referred to her niece (Kat) to get my hair done. No problem, as long as she does a good job! I called and scheduled for a Saturday, –early-​, to make sure I got in and out. I travel all week for work, and only have time on the weekends with my friends and family. So I’d rather not waste it on personal time.
The day of, I woke up early, and sent a quick text to let her know I was on my way before driving the 45+ it took to get from Lithicum to D.C. I arrived, early, to a house, found parking, and walked inside. Kat was warm and soft spoken, and she led me through a kitchen to a small waiting/​braiding area she had set up with a TV and heater.
To my surprise, there was already a lady in the chair… even though it was time for my appointment to start. Strike one. As stated earlier, I travel, a lot. Timing and appointments are essential to me making sure I meet deadlines and keep everything on track. As such, I appreciate promptness. Especially on a Saturday when I had to drive almost an hour to get my hair done. «No Problem…» that was my thought as I plopped down on the couch. «They’re probably just running a little over.» Two and a half hours later after I initially arrived, she was STILL doing this lady’s hair. I was tired, cranky, and pretty upset by that point. The only reason why I was still there was because my trip was Monday, and I had no time for plan two. By this time, the next lady, who was supposed to be after –me-​, had come in.
When she finally sat me down in the chair over 3 hours PAST my appointment time, she immediately got to work, which I appreciated. However, in her tiredness/​readiness to be done, she started trying to rip a rap tail comb through the ends of my hair. My hair is very fine, and natural. I immediately recoiled, and asked her to use the WIDE tooth comb I had been smart enough to bring. She sucked her teeth, and halfheartedly tried using it for about 30 seconds, before resorting back to the smaller comb and trying to rip through my hair. After a few minutes of back and forth on this, I finally picked up a conditioner spray and liberally sprayed my hair with it. This allowed her to get my hair braided. Strike three.
As she got started, I asked that she –not– put as much hair in as the last woman, who had 4+ packs. She told me she would not. As we continued, she quickly passed, 1, 2, 3… and was getting started on the 4^th bag. During this time, her small son continually ran in, getting underfoot and crying, and pulling her away from her work. When I looked in the mirror 2 hrs later– I resembled a lion. Seriously– I looked like Dianna Ross and Chaka Khan had a love child. As she turned to grab the 5^th pack, and was interrupted again, I decided to finally cut our session and leave. I handed her the full amount of money and just left. I went home, and cut it the best I could (thinning, for bulk). Overall, a terrible experience. I haven’t been back.
Long story short– 7am Appointment, didn’t leave until 2pm. My actual time in chair only took about 2hrs, the rest of that time was sitting and waiting.
Customers– go at your own risk.

This review is long overdue! I was completely satisfied with my style by Camille! And the fact she was completely booked and managed to squeeze me in I was out in about three hours with the style exactly like the pictures I showed her! THANKS CAMILLE!!!

Love getting my hair done by Camille. She is always a gracious host and focuses on the client. I’m usually in and out in 2 hours! I’ve gotten my hair done several times and have never been disappointed. Her schedule fills up so I suggest booking next appointment before leaving and do your best to arrive on time so as not to delay the next client.

I won’t let anyone else do my hair now that I have been blessed by Camille!!! She is a perfectionist, her customer service is exceptional. she is an all around professional! This is my fourth time getting my hair done and I am in love! I am very very picky and I don’t even look in the mirror when she is done. If you want your hair done RIGHT, book now, she books quick but is soooooo worth the wait! #haircare #excellence #productknowledge #ontime #professional #customerservice #Ihaveneverwrittenareview #sheisworthit #booked

Camille really knows her stuff. I’ve had my hair done 3 times by Camille and every time has been excellent. Yesterday I got a straight hair install and am so impressed. Not only is she nice and super patient but the girl can cut some hair and has mastered the invisible knot! People always have to do a double take of my hair because her invisible knots look like the hair is growing out of my scalp! And she cuts layers into long and short hair quickly and easily. She’s in pretty high demand so text or call soon.
I will be installing crochet braids until I get tired of them… which doesnt seem like that will be anytime soon. Thanks Camille-​continued blessings!

I am so very glad I was able to find such a person like Camille. What a pleasureable Experience. She has to be the best person in this area that I have gone to. I will be a client of hers for as long as she crochet braids. We were done in 50 minutes. I’ve been to some folks and all they do is install hair and send you on your way and you just end up with a head full of BIG BULKY hair. Camille takes time to trim cut down and style so the hair looks like your hair… not just HAIR… Thank goodness for her it’s been a long hard road I think I can now finally B.R.E.A.T.H… I Have already made my next appt you better because she stays totally booked up. That’s what happens when you’re good… Two Thumbs UP!

This was an absolutely great experience. Camille did an great job and I love my hair. I was sure to make an appointment as soon as she finished my hair. She was professional, polite, and completed my hair in a timely manner. I have recommended her to everyone I know and will go to her from now on.

On October 24, I received a hair weave which was a water wave. When Camille finished it looked just like the crochet braids but didn’t take as long. Although it was braided a little tight, but I was very pleased and Camille was very patient because I made changes throughout the style.

I had never heard of crotchet braids until I started googling protective styles after being tired of two strand twisting my hair everyday. Found Camille on Unilocal and let me tell you, both Camille and her niece Khat made me a converter! I am very happy with the results!

A very great experience. Especially since this was my first time getting crochet braids. Camille was very professional, extremely polite, and very sweet. She knows her stuff and will have you falling in love with crochet braids. The atmosphere is very laid back and comfortable. You wont be disappointed.

Camille is WONDERFUL!!! Very professional and efficient! She KNOWS what’s she’s doing. She has a client for life!

Camille was fabulous. In by 9a out by 11a. I got the crochet braids with a dark brown to match my natural hair on top and underneath a dark red for some color. I love the work she does and can’t wait to try out other styles. Show her pics of what you want and she will work with you to find a style that best fits your face and budget. I can’t believe it took me so long to find her, but I’m glad I did! Hopefully going back soon to try a new style! Love, love, love it. Check out her pics for more style ideas!

So again I saw Camille and she blessed my soul and my head. She is in high demand and I scheduled my appointment anxiously waiting for my appointment and I am so happy! !! I used Freetress bohemian hair and I did 4 packs instead of 5 with a color of 4 (real brown).
Ladies I need you to hear me clearly… my hair was done in 2 hours. My appointment was at 6 and I was in my car heading home by 8:30pm …plus understand that I originally came with 3 packs but we decided to have one more pack for fullness. She was so kind to let me run to the store and look I was out by 8:30. She changed my life because I can’t see how I can stay in anyone’s chair for 6, 7, 8 + hours EVERYONE AGAIN. Plus++++ she still braids like a dream. I feel nothing. .no joke… no lie… it’s seamless. I love my hair and it’s a break and low maintenance. Thanks again Camille! !!

Amazing! Camille installed my Crochet Senegalese Twists in May. They still look amazing today! She was very knowledgeable in helping to find the correct amount, color and type of hair needed. She is very professional and polite. She did a wonderful job and I’m already looking for my next crochet style!

Really everything that everybody else said. Very happy to have found Camille! She was courteous, quick, professional, pleasant and provided me with helpful tips for maintaining my new style. And one BIG plus she was gentle on my scalp!

Outstanding!
Camille did my hair for the first time this past Saturday and it was a great experience. I’ve been on a natural hair journey since March and have been searching for the right stylist to help with protective styles, specifically crochet braid styles. I’ve been to a couple of stylist and had so-​so experiences but had no desire to return. Camille was polite, professional, and fast. She even knew how to cut and style the hair; something the others weren’t the best at. I immediately scheduled my next appointment upon completion. Thanks again Camille!

Camille is wonderful and her work is fantastic!!! I am in love with my crochet braids and will be going back to Camille again and again! Highly recommended!!!

I recently got my hair done and it looks amazing. I’ve never had crochet braids, so I was a little afraid, but she did a wonderful job. Extremely professional and kind as well as accommodating. I would recommend her services hands down.

This was my first time going to Camille for crochet braids but the experience was wonderful. She was quick, the braids look great and she made sure I was happy with the style before I left.

Phenomenal stylist! Camille is both talented and pleasant. I truly appreciated her honesty. I went there never really being one who wore weave and only having the individual braids YEARS ago. Wow… she’s converted me to crochet braids and this protective style. She was even pretty quick. I’ll definitely be back!!!
