WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAYS

Fatou was such a good experience for getting my daughter’s hair done! I called her on Friday and she was able to do her consultation the next day. She offered to do her hair later that day but my daughter had all ready made prior obligations . These ladies were very friendly and SLAYDDDDDD my daughter’s hair! The price was reasonable, it did take a little time but it was well worth it! We will definitely be visiting her when it’s time for a retouch! Thanks Fatiu!

You have a true gem in Fatou Braiding. I'm a travel nurse from Dallas,Tx. I have long, thick, natural hair. I'm selective about my hair stylist. The stylists cleaned their areas between clients. My stylist was quick(took her 6 hours for box braids). Others say stylists in other cities have taken 8-9 hours to do what she did in 6. My hair was beautiful.
