Veda's Locs & Braids Bar — Local services in Covington

I have locs. They’re thick and my partings are big so when I decide to get a hairstyle over them i’m very particular abt who does my hair. I’ve discovered this salon not to long ago and Robin has done an amazing job everytime, i’ve never left the salon dissatisfied. This time I was booked with another stylist i’ve never had before, but I was open to seeing what she could do. It was my birthday this day also & I was already having a bad day so I came in with the idea hoping that getting my hair done would cheer me up. Idk her name but she was very sweet, but it seemed like she had never done softlocs over locs before considering the fact they sent me over to the braiding section. While doing my hair she was literally ripping my hair out from the locs to form straight parts, & anyone who has locs knows that’s a big nono. But overall it felt like she knew what she was doing so i didn’t say anything. After she was done I looked in the mirror & I literally wanted to cry. When I want a hairstyle over my locs, I want it to look like I DONT HAVE LOCS. It was honestly so bulky at the top (where my locs were) and skinny at the bottom. I kid you not they were literally standing up and falling down.The parts were crooked from her trying to make it straight, and the way she wrapped the wrapping hair around my locs made it look like twists. The wrapping hair was wrapped so loose also I noticed that the softloc wasn’t evn attached. I’ve never had this experience coming here & I was very disappointed. I say all that to say, if you know you don’t have much or no experience on a certain hairstyle, or you js don’t know how to do it over locs, please please let the client know before hand instead of playin in folks head. I paid &...

After my 40th birthday in December. I decided to get locs. I contacted Robin very nervous about the change but she was very nice and welcoming. She didn't even know if I was going to book or not but she asked me to send a picture and answered all my questions. Finally getting the courage April 19th to start my journey she told me to come in and she seemed very thrilled to start my journey even tho I wasn't 100% ready myself. Lol but when I got in her chair she made me realize I made the best decision for the locs and choosing her to start my journey. She told me all about maintenance and care without me asking. I was shocked because most stylish just do your hair and send you on your way. But when she finished . Which was faster than most people told me it would take. I was hooked and in love. So many people have told me how they love my hair. It made me feel good.Im 100% hooked on my starter locs. Ready for my retwist and to see the growth. To sum it all up. Ask for Robin you will not be...

First I want to say that Veda's Locs & Braids Bar definitely passes the vibe check! Everyone was so nice and the ambiance was beyond words beautiful. When you first come in you're greeted with a warm welcome and they get you seated for your appointment promptly. The music playlist had me jamming song after song. I went to Sascha and she made the whole process amazing! She asked questions about my hair goals, gave me useful tips and insights about what I can do for my hair in-between visits (and yes, I will absolutely be coming back!). The process was painless and my head feels light with these braids. I got exactly what I asked for, only better! Truly a great experience for someone who doesn't treat themselves often and I will be making Veda's a part of my regular routine now. I'm someone with severe anxiety and these ladies truly made me feel right at home....
