African Queen of Braids — Local services in Tupelo

Went for micro braids and because possible tornadoes were coming they rushed through it because it wasn’t something we planned for. I was satisfied until braids start slipping out and I noticed that it was thin. I went in to speak with Ms CoCo and she agreed to fix them.. I spoke with the owner who was not there and she was aware…They wanted to charge $60 to take down what they did wrong.. I offered to help and she agreed and once I got home the owner had Ms Coco call me to tell me it would be another $200 with a $20 discount to redo braids that they messed up… The work that they show on the wall is old and their braiding technique isn’t like it use to be….

My real hair wasn’t wasn’t tucked into the weave! You can see my natural hair frizzing out of the braids. Overall, I will not be retiring and I do not recommend the lady the shortest one of the three) who braided my hair. The other...

This experience was 10/10! The young lady fit my appt. In last minute, They were very thorough in asking in the style and size braids I wanted even asking for picture reference to make sure we were on the same page with expectations. She also didn't braid too tight and went easy on my edges because i have alopecia. Atmosphere was cool, safe and honestly a vibe. I love my hair down the lady did a wonderful job and I will be back next time I get some braids. I hate i didn't...
