Daba African Hair Braiding — Local services in Charlotte

Will not go back. Went to get box braids. I called the day before I did a walk-in and asked about my hair color and they told me that they had it. When I arrived they didn't, they only had my color in microbraids human hair and tried to get me to get microbraids because they didn't want to get the hair for the box braids. I was quoted one price from one of the braiders, but the owner charged $20 more because of the length of my hair. They told me that they could do my hair when I arrived, but they did not start on my head until a hour later. The sink didn't work so they couldn't wash my hair and they didn't even have spray bottles with water to moisten my hair. My hair is natural and they tried to comb it out with out putting anything on it. The braiders were in and out. They spend time talking on the phone the entire time that they are doing your hair. Their website and their front door says that they take Visa and Mastercard, but they don't. They send you to the store next door to get money from an ATM machine. They are unprofessional. Someone came in and cursed them out for misquoting the cost. My hair looks good, but they don't care anything about your hair; only making money. Apparently, it is common that these African Braiding shops operate in this manner. Following this, I choose not to patronize Daba's...

Worst experience of my entire life. My appointment was set for 10 am she didn't show up till 11. I picked a style she had posted on the wall, box braids with the curly feathered ends. She quoted me $220 I paid upfront in cash. As she started my hair I made mention that the parts were to big an was told that's how she does it considering my hair is natural an thick an that if she were to make the parts smaller it would be to heavy. She then called her granddaughter that couldn't of been older then 15 to assist her with braiding. Midway through the service she started complaining about the length an tried to charge me an additional $80 after I had already paid the price she originally quoted. Before I came in I asked her if I needed to bring any hair and was told No, only to have my husband run to the store an try to find the hair she had requested. While braiding my head was being pulled in different directions as she and her granddaughter continued to braid. After 8 hours she suggested that I come back the next day to have it finished. At that point I was fed up and ended up leaving highly upset an disappointed with...

I went for faux locs and I was told for my length it's be 240 from one girl so that's what I paid! They didn't have the hair in the shop or anything so the girl braiding asked for the payment and went and got the hair! She came back to bring my change which she gave me but lost my payment for herself. So after that it seemed like she was rushing my hair because she lost my money and wasn't making a profit I guess. The owner came in and then told me I had to pay more for the length I was already quoted for and paid. I said hell no that's bad business. My hair is super tight red spots all in my scalp and it's ridiculous! Needless to say I will not be back ever again and my hair better not break because of them! She also burnt the hair all the way up and I'm concerned it has burned my real hair and if so I will be suing them! ...
