African Boutique — Local services in Taylorsville

I shake my head and say “that’s a shame” she says thank you!! I knew when I was heading to that story was a mistake. But my new store didn’t have the hair color I needed. I sure dread going to this place unless the...

Kabir is a total dude, as well! I challenge ANYONE to not like him every second you spend in his small business!

You and I go way back, and so just trust me on this one. Check African Boutique sooner than later, and try the Barbican...

I had the same experience as the costumer below, the lady at the register has a very bad attitude she does not want to help or answer any questions that I do have. My mother and grandmother both have received unfair treatment from the same women.She only gives good service to those that she knows, very unprofessional because of this woman I nor any of my family members will be shopping here any more because of the horrible costumer service we receive each time we go...
