Amazing experience Hawa was the best stylist I’ve ever had I had expectations but when I tell you they were lower than the service I received words only simplify the personable experience I had amazing job on my mini twist so welcoming I even showed up without hair silly me didn’t read the bio and Hawa was so gracious and allowed me to wait until the beauty supply was open to come back so she could provide the service requested above and beyond totally recommend GRATITUDE ?
Definitely got what I asked for. My third time rebooking. My hair is growing as well!
Such a kind, professional, talented hair artist. No one can ever deny or take away her talent.
Always love my visits to Hawa .. She’s been my braider for last 9-10 yrs
This is my absolute favorite style and Hawa nails it every time! Her technique is amazing when it comes to installing hair around your edges and the twists are always so neat and never unravels.
Always timely! Great work! Creative! Personable! Amazing work!
Hawa is such a delight! Super interesting conversation and she is super meticulous and prideful of her work. Definitely your go-to for a great braiding experience!
