BRAIDBYSONIA Africa Hair Braiding — Local services in Newark

100% Agree with the negative comments. The owner is a BULLY. I was given one price then after 7 hours of braiding my hair, the owner literally said "you're making my sister work so hard, you need to pay more" once my hair was almost finished. Practically begging and trying to make me feel guilty even though I was given a price hours earlier! I told the owner how unprofessional it was for her to switch the price hours later and she said I was "scaring" the women doing my hair because I kept touching the twists and bringing it to the front just to look! Imagine calling a young 24 year old girl was scary because you want to guilt trip her into paying more money.

The owner is a LIAR, and cannot speak correct english I believe on purpose. She will switch up her words for you to owe more money. You'll ask her 3 questions and she'll selectively only answer one and keep you wondering about the other two.

Her prices are good unlike other places that charge way too high and the braids still don’t turn out nice but Sonia work is very neat and the parts and it lasts, really do worth the trip from PA to NJ to get my hair done. I REALLY DO...

I had an amazing experience at Braids by Sonia! The braids were beautifully done, and they lasted a full 3 months—even after I went swimming on vacation. The quality of the braiding and the attention to detail were impressive. The stylists were friendly, professional, and fast. I’ll definitely be coming back for my next style. Highly...
