Khady Touba African Hair Braiding New York NYC — Local services in New York

One star for the change of price because of the amount of hours it took. I called for specific fulani braids and sent photos and was told it'll be 180. (The starting price I see on the wall is definitely not the starting price I was told...I didn't mind) I showed the photo again, and the lady started the hair and did something completely different. I have done the hair before and even showed photos of the way the hair looked on me, so it's not like I'm asking to have the model's head on mine. She took it off (the first, one braid)and re-did it. It basically took three or so tries before she "got it." The hair I settled for is NOT what I asked for, but I couldn't keep going on. The hair turned out fine, so I let it go...until she decided to charge $200 at the end because it took her "8" hrs to do the hair that would've apparently taken 4 hours. I told her that it took longer because they did the wrong thing and had to correct it until I settled for something close. (The hair she apparently does every day) I was going to pay more either way for the tips, and I honestly wish I didn't add some 5 I did end up paying 220, reducing the initial tip amount because of what happened.

Quality wise, The lady who did my did a nice job, I won't lie. I would come back for a regular fulani braids or just regular braids, hoping she doesn't change the price based on how long it took her...did their lunch hr count? Lol whatever) I'll see if the hair lasts up to 3 weeks before it starts...

Just had another great experience at Khady’s. I went in for senegalese twist done by Anta. Also her specialties are senegalese twist and corn row styles so I knew she was gonna get me right. This was the first hair braiding shop I went to in Harlem and boy am I glad. Especially because of how reasonably priced it is and the amazing quality of the hair. The first time I went I got box braids at a mid back length and this time I did long twists. The braids lasted me 3 months and I could’ve extended it because the braids stayed intact. This time around I’m hoping to keep them in for 4 months. Khady’s shop is such a great environment with skilled and lively braiders. They always come out lightweight and secure. But never too tight or painful like other places. Regardless of how long you are there for, you are going to have a fun time and leave with amazing quality hair. I highly recommend everyone to make this their go to Harlem hair...

Due to severe breakage in the top/ middle section and other areas of my hair, as well as money wasted two weeks prior on knotless braids done by another shop; I was extremely nervous about trying another new braider and getting a style that would not last. I was led to this shop through the reviews and because I have a friend that lives nearby. I needed a style that would accommodate my breakage and last at least a month. I decided on these Beautiful neat lemonade braids done by Am-ta.. I received Affordable friendly service. Pics reflect day 1 Vs 3 weeks. Will keep these in at least a month which is more than good enough for me and this style. Reasons why I will go back. Service was good, the shop/bathroom was clean, reasonable prices,...
