Customer Review Summary
Set against this are detailed, recurring complaints about braiding specifically. Multiple reviewers describe cornrows or plaits pulled so tight that hair fell out or thinned with bald spots, and one reports losing several inches of hip-length hair after rough handling and careless cutting during a plaiting appointment. Reviewers also describe being pressured to buy hair products, inconsistent pricing negotiated down from an initial quote, and being told to "trust the process" when braids looked uneven rather than having the issue fixed. One reviewer also describes uncomfortable comments about supporting Nigerian versus Somali businesses. Several satisfied customers close by saying they left with a smile and plan to return for future styles like crochet braids.

“I was originally going to get twists at Jerusalem hair salon when Jummy’s assistant pulled me in. They started berating me for going to Somali people when I’m Nigerian and I should support Nigerian businesses, feeling uncomfortable I stayed. We proceeded with the twists where Jummy originally quoted me £120 for a simple hair style I talked her down to £70. The twists were very bulky and I wanted them to look natural, when the hairstyle wasn't done I expressed my concerns and she said it would be fixed at the end. It was not fixed. Towards the end the assistant used hot water and mousse on the twists and to be completely honest it looked a mess, everyone was trying to gaslight that it looked nice. When I went to pay Jummy tried to make me pay £80. I had yo take out the hair the day after, I am so disappointed by the fact they couldn’t execute a simple style well. I frequently go back to Nigeria and if she says I should support Nigerian businesses keep your hair business to the same standard like the ones back home. The place also wasn’t very clean, she kept trying to market her hair cream to me saying I have a dry scalp and I didn’t like the way Jummy treated her workers. Overall go somewhere else.”

“Another excellent experience. Had my braids taken out, then a wash treatment and cornrows. Fast service , clean environment (yes including the toilet), friendly staff and the teamwork is impeccable. Will be back to do crochet braids, highly recommend this salon”

“Such an amazing hairdresser! Her work is always perfect, but what makes her extra special is her beautiful nature — she has great manners, a kind heart, and such a warm, welcoming smile. She’s so helpful with everything you need and makes every visit a joy. Highly recommended to everyone looking for quality work and lovely service!”

“Absolutely love my hair, Jummy and her coworkers took great care of me. Service was fast, presentation and customer service is on point and can work with natural 4c hair. Definitely going to come regularly! 10/10 and fair pricing too”

“I walked by with my friend who was visiting me, and we went in with no booking looking for two wash and blowdrys. Jummy welcomed us in and did both hair styles with a smile on her face the whole time!! She made us feel so comfortable and we ended up not only leaving with beautiful hair for our night out but also some wise words from her that we will remember forever! I will definitely be back!!”
