Posted on christina lane Today was last minute, but she squeezed me in.. clean shop clean bathroom. Very welcome she made me feel at home. Definitely recommend 💯💯Posted on Iesha Green Great experience and very professional, great quality of work.Posted on janet parry I want to say that Ashah is an amazing person and stylist. She is very professional and her salon is very neat and clean. She took a chance on me after my former stylist went A-Wall and left me in a bind. I have crochet / faux locks that look like dreads but braided in and I have Caucasian hair that is wavy. She took one look at my hair and said yes I can help you. I was so happy. After working on my hair by taking my braids out, cleaning them, giving me a zing shampoo, then putting my. Raids back in, I was so pleased with my hair that I started crying for joy. Asha knows what she is doing and I already rebooked with her and I would recommend anyone to her. She does so many different types of braiding and dreads. Thank you again Ashah JanetPosted on Skyler Knapp She was such a kind soul and an amazing braider!
