I called yesterday and was told that I could be there in 20 min. I got there only to find a nice gentleman who barely spoke English, told me they were closed. He called the lady and then opened the salon next door up some raggedy steps and in this makeshift salon that was just a dirty room. I waited ALONE for over an hour. She called once to say she'd be there in 20 min....then she called to say she nor her niece could make it! Oh and could I come back tomorrow? When I said no she hung up on me!!! TOTAL DUMP AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! CLEAN UP YOUR FAKE ESTABLISHMENT!
I've been patronizing this shop for 18 years, and I have yet to have an unpleasant experience. My hair is always done quickly and professionally. It's a comfortable environment, and the stylists are always polite; my favorite stylist is kadi. The prices here are unbeatable, compared to other shops. I've been recommending this shop to friends and family for years, and this is where I will continue to come until they're no longer here.
Excellent braiding shop!!! The owner is very sweet and professional. Any issues within reason they are always will to help and accommodate their customers. I've been coming here since I was a teen and the service has always been good. I even bring my daughter here now.
I hated my experience here. For starters, she braided my edges after I instructed her not to. I had to take the braids out as they were too tight on my hairline. I couldn’t move my eyebrows or even bend over without hurting. I have also lost a significant amount of hair around my edges/hairline. I asked her to leave enough hair for my barber to braid and she left nothing. Even after taking the braids out, I’m still in pain. In all honesty, she ripped my hair out. She even said that the hair was “too short” and still decided to braid it even though it was clearly NOT MEANT TO BE BRAIDED. I spent a year growing my hair out and now my hairline is patchy and swollen after only 3 DAYS! I SPENT $100 AND IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING!! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT COME HERE!!!
The owner of the shop did my hair. She did good work. However, she parted my hair in large parts in the back and my braids have slipped inches from scalp in less than a month. So if you go here to get your hair done, make sure the parting is a good size so it can last. The reason why she was finished so quickly was because she put a lot of hair in one braid.
I had an appointment at 9am and they finally started doing my hair at 2pm. To make matters worse they made my Senegalese twists much bigger than I wanted them to be causing me to have to purchase another packet of hair during the appointment. It has only been a week and my twists are unraveling and they braided the ends of my twists. If I could give this place a zero I would. I strongly do not recommend coming here especially if you want Senegalese twists.
I went to this braid shop because of the hairstyles I've seen on other customers. I must say I am extremely disappointed. The women were kind of rude and one even raised her voice at me. I was told to dit in one chair and was chastised for sitting there. Then one person started to braid my hair and said another person would finish. However, the first person left me and braided a walk in customer. My knot less braids are not close at all. I see lots of my scalp and the person even gave me the wrong color until I corrected her. I was asked twice and I advised I wanted my colors mixed.
I was charged 180.00 for a substandard job.
I should have walked out.
I'll never return.
I've have been coming to Timbuktu consistently for just about 10 years now. I’m always complimented on my braids. The owner Kady and all of the staff are very skilled, professional and accommodating. The salon is always well kept and comforting.
