Customer Review Summary
Micro braids draw the strongest praise, with reviewers describing soft, elegant results, and boho braids come up close behind, with several noting the shop supplies the hair for an added cost or advising bringing your own for better curls. Fast turnaround gets repeated mention, with some in the chair within minutes and out within a few hours, and long-time clients say the braiding stays consistent over years. But a real split runs through the recent reviews: several longtime customers describe being made to wait extensively, in one case over two hours, only to be passed over or turned away, with one saying staff claimed they couldn't do cornrows and another told to find someone else because their hair was "too short." One reviewer reports boho braids coming loose before getting home, and another says a braider blamed a delay on the hair provided. Some also mention being asked to pay upfront.

“I love this place for their convenience and prices. They have so many braiders, so their wait time isn't very long. I think its always good to call prior to going to get a quote. I appreciate how fast they're able to get you in and out. My only suggestion it that is you get boho braids you should bring your own boho hair to ensure the curls are to your liking, but if not they do supply boho hair for an additional $60.”

“I absolutely love my micro braids from Aicha Hair Braiding. My hair feels so soft, and the curls they added gave the style the perfect finishing touch. The ladies did an excellent job, and I truly appreciate the time and care they put into my hair. I love how elegant and sophisticated the style looks.”
