Had a great first experience today! The shop was super clean, the owner was sooo sweet and I LOVE MY BRAIDS (small knotless waist) these the best braids I’ve had since moving back to the area and I’ve tried a couple shops.

This was my first time getting braids as a completion of my bucketlist. Love my hair style by Crystal and the info she gave me on upkeep of hair. Everyone there was pleasant and rotation was done professionally. Highly recommend Ms. Krystal and her staff.

Good service friendly and professional. Clean salon, just be prepared to be there longer than expected, but you will be satisfied with your braids.

had this to say:
I am a relatively new client and I have to say that I am loving my braids!! Yesterday was my second time getting my hair done at Cryst’s. I was very indecisive about the type of braids and color I wanted. Crystal and team was very patient with me and ultimately, the results are better than expected. My braids are fabulous and this new color is awesome! Thank you Crystal and Team!!!💜💜
