Senegalese Xpress Hair Braiding

Perfect work. Walked in and made appt for days later. Did Senegalese twist. Happy to say I’ve found a braided I really like and I’m a pretty tough critic. Place is clean bright and good energy.

I’ve gotten Senegalese twists done here on two separate occasions. I have pretty thick, medium length hair, which has plagued me when it comes to getting my hair styled. For some reason, stylists take the fact that I have a lot of hair as an excuse to cut corners. That is exactly what happened when I went to Senegalese Xpress Braiding.
On my first visit, everything went smoothly with my hair. I was finished in about 6 hours, had three women at one time doing my hair, and all of my twists looked even and wonderful. There is a Liberian woman who works at the salon and she did a phenomenal job.
On the second visit, another stylist managed to do my hair, all by herself, in about 6 hours. I was impressed by how quickly she managed to finish my hair until I wrapped it later that night and noticed that nearly ²⁄₃ of the twists were done differently than the rest. She kept the twists even throughout except she made larger parts in the back that resulted in my ends poking out of all of those twists. After contemplating how bad it looked and asking others for advice, I decided to go back and have it redone. Thankfully, the owner was willing to redo the hair (for free of course). I even told the woman, who redid my hair, that she didn’t have to do them as small as the remaining ¹⁄₃ of my hair just to use more weave so my ends didn’t come out of the twists. After another 5.5 hours, my hair was finally finished. I’m not going to lie, I’m not crazy about the final product. She did the hair incredibly tight so my head was itching like crazy for a few days after and I had a slight headache.
Overall, it cost me 120 and 11.5 hours. I was thankful they redid the hair (albeit I thought the final product was OK), but I don’t think I will return. I hate having to do the same thing twice, especially because it was so obviously done poorly (which was entirely avoidable).
Tip: Ask price beforehand, price list is just for show. Also, feel free to schedule appts.
As far as the décor goes, it is like most African braiding salons I’ve gone to: minimal and clean.
