African Hair Braiding - Kine Hair Braiding - HairByKIne — Local services in Louisville

I waited a couple months to write a review, to avoid writing it out of emotion. I've been going to this shop for 6-7 years and didn't have an issue until this year. I asked for box braids at my last visit. The lady was very nice and my hair came out beautiful (I thought and in my opinion). However, when I get up to sit at the chairs where they dip the hair in hot water, 3another braider looked at me and started laughing and talking in her language and looking away as if I couldnt see or hear her. . This caused the other braiders to look over at me and start laughing as well. The lady who braided my hair and the rude lady with the flat nose started having a heated argument and started yelling at each other (noon stepped in to stop the mess) I'm sure the lady who did my hair was upset with the rude lady. How bold was she to look in my face and laugh. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE!! I've seen this employee/braider in the shop several times and NEVER was there an issue. I was hurt, embarrassed,and angry at the same time. My hope is the owner/manager had a conversation with ther employees. I had a similar experience with someone else who braided my hair earlier this year. She was/is VERY good but she and her coworker made it obvious when they were talking in their language about me and laughing as well. I know her name but will not put it on here. I've never asked for her again and won't. I hope management has a talk with her employees. This should be a comfortable place to get your hair done, not a place to be made to feel bad or embarrassed. I'm thinking of going to black American braiders. I'd rather spend my money with people who make me...

I wanted to give a non biased review. So I waited. First the location is in a good spot. The inside of the shop is not welcoming at all. The pics on Google must be old. I stood by the front counter for a few mins waiting to be approached. I was rudely approached and was told to “Go sit”. I sat on the couch and felt like I was falling to the floor. The put together furniture was in bad shape. My bad knees hated me when it was time to get up. I explained the style I wanted and showed the picture which was feed in middle part braids. I was told I couldn’t get that style so respected the lady’s opinion due to her being a professional and I agreed to get knotless in the back. The Braider were EXTREMELY heavy handed which I expected due to it being an African shop so I knew that’s how it goes…. By the time I was done I was almost in tears my head hurt so bad 😔. It has been a week now and my head is still very sore. The outcome of my hair is not what I expected and I dislike it but I am dealing with it. My braids are not flat. On the sides it looks like I have something holding them up and bent outward. Only thing I can say is the price was good. I can’t say I’ll NEVER go back but I don’t think it would be anytime soon. I’m not from here so I will most likely try some other Braider in the area. I included pics of what I asked for...

I would honestly give this place a 0 review if I could. I took my 16 year old here for passion twists. I was told one price over the phone which I agree'd to. We went and bought the hair before we came to the appointment. My daughter called me 2-3 hours later and said the amount of hair we brought was not enough and they needed one more pack. We originally took 4 so I was confused as to why more was needed. I went and bought it anyway and dropped it off and waited for her to finish. My daughter walks out and says that the amount I gave her to pay wasn't enough. So I walked inside to see what was going on and they were saying the price was $60 more than what I was quoted over the phone even when I provided the hair! Since she already had her hair done I paid it to avoid any issue and we left. Once in the car my 16 year old daughter told me they were very rude to her and even accused her of trying to steal the extra money that I had to pay them! Plus they also had leftover hair that they kept! Needless to say this is a horrible establishment and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. They are rude and will...
