Salima African Hair Braiding — Local services in McDonough

I really hate to say this but I must be honest after my 10 Hour experience. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Two of the ONLY ladies who was serviced the same day I came in stated they showed up because of reviews.

So here’s what happened. Sign states “walk- ins are welcome” YOU’RE REALLY NOT. Typical shops have Braiders available when the shop opens but no she had ONE braider doing one person head at 8 am. Who was very dismissive because she had a client. I called in advance. You’re only going to speak to Salima who’s going to book all the appointments. SHE’S NOT GOING TO SHOW UP BUT WILL SEND CUSTOMERS AND NO EXTRA BRAIDERS.

I was very clear that I wanted human hair knotless and I’m supplying the hair. The two sisters that finally showed up to do my hair after running an hour late. There was no pricing discount or apology for the complete inconvenience and they kept complaining about the amount of work and time it would take to do human hair. Additionally how the price would be more only to put these fat braids in the back of my hair, half braided. The ends they attached my human hair WITH NAIL GLUE. Had me leave the shop to purchase more glue for them. By far the most bizarrest experience. I had to pray to keep my cool because they make sure to give you a good 5 or 10 braids so you come back. They also ask you leave some form of identification as well. Back to my experience.

So unfortunately I allowed them to convince me for the sake of time to put this highly chemically processed kanekalon in my hair. As an another viewer mentioned. They will convince you to get something else and still charge you a ridiculous amount while having you in that shop ALL DAY!!!!

The first braider to show up, I find her very unprofessional, unsisterly and definitely not a team player. Her client was furious after 8 long hours of service they demand cash or zelle but didn’t take navy federal zelle. Very weird because 2 out 3 of the only clients they had the entire day bank with NF.

I decided to help sis out and have her send the funds to me and I zelle Salima from my pnc account. You think after rectifying her situation the braider would help seeing that there’s only one braider to one head and it’s already 3 pm. NO!!!!! She left after doing only one head and offered no assistance.

That was the icing on the cake. She really had me thinking she would help But left like it was nothing. My only one star goes to the sisters they were absolutely beautiful souls. However THEY ARE EXTREMELY SLOW!!!!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW!!!!!

After making these braids jumbo in the back you think I would’ve have been out of there. Let’s brake down time. I arrived as a walk-in at 8:30AM, Salima messaged me two Braiders were coming but failed to mentioned the slowest in the city,

They had me leave and come back at 9:45 AM that’s when I knew I should’ve never said yes. Had a whole wedding to travel for and everything. That same day.

The sisters didn’t arrive until 11:00 AM!!!!! They claimed because an accident. However Braiders should be at work when the shop opens. I believe the entire McDonough has slow Braiders as you get closer to Atlanta they are fast and get you out on time.

They didn’t start on my hair till -12 but not start before complaining about what they’re not going to do after Salima jacked up the price and agreed to service on my human hair knotless mid back or waist length.

It’s so funny because they never braided my hair waist length. They glued my human hair pieces in rather than do the tree branching method for the extensions like I asked. WHICH IS WHY BACK BRAIDS STARTED TO FALL!!!!

Back to time. I did not leave that shop up 10:50 PM!!!!!!!! After showing up at 9AM😭😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

NEVER AGAIN! Charged me $280 for these messy ends and partial braids.

The shop is clean unlike most braiding shops but you will be there ALL. DAY!!!!

They offered to fix my hair a week later on their time. I couldn’t even show up from me having to work. God did not lead...

Never again will I go to this place. The level of unprofessionalism. They don't have it advertised on their website that they don't take debit cards, only zelle or cash.

Salima stopped doing my hair, so she could go & get her food. My hair was nowhere near done. She had the older lady start to do my hair & I hated it! I kept telling her over & over that it's too tight! The entire time I was getting my hair done by the old lady, I was saying ITS TOO TIGHT. She ignored me & kept on going. I wouldn't be surprised if my hair comes out after this.

Then when Salima came back, she proceeded to go eat her food, & when she was done, told the older lady the food was here. Grandma left in the middle of doing my hair..I asked Salima is she coming back & she told me they haven't eaten all day. I asked who scheduled my appointment at 4:30? She said she did. I asked why if you haven't eaten all day? I had to pay $185 for TWO people to walk away while my hair was left undone, didn't listen to me when I said it's too tight, & these braids are not even medium knotless.They look like smedium knotless & too much gel.

I was there from 4:30p to 10:45p. The number of times I was blinking back tears because it hurt, it was taking too long, & both had walked away. I knew I should have walked myself right out the door...

Stay away !!!!!!! Stay away !!!!!!! Yesterday on June 24 I arrived at 8:00am because that’s the time the shop say they open I got there nobody was there I sat 1hour 30mins until someone arrive at 9:30 got inside showed the lady a pic of how I wanted my hair smedium knotless braids black I got done after sitting 4hours and 20mins and was highly disappointed with my hair I did not get what I wanted nor what I asked for I was very detailed about what I wanted the braids was so big in the back and the front was small ( I have a head full of natural hair ) the braids was so thin it looked like I may had 30 braids in my head I informed the staff I didn’t like my hair I wasn’t refunded nor offered the option for them to fix them I asked for a refund or something back because not only I’m loosing 180 I also still have to take them out and get something else done somewhere else regarding this matter they were so unprofessional about it I also posted them on every viral hair page located near the area because they are just taking people money and not given the service we want they just giving us whatever they want you to have also I took them out right after leaving there I went to kokovi in Decatur the next day which is today they did awesome they don’t rush and they give you exactly what...
