Quick info
About Kadiza Hair Braiding
Kadiza Hair Braiding is a hairdresser on W Franklin St in Baltimore, offering box braids, cornrows, twists, and weaves, with hair provided, washed, and dried as part of the service. Though booking is listed as by appointment, the shop actually runs first come first serve, so clients are seated in the order they arrive rather than by a set time slot. Payment is cash only, a detail worth planning for before a visit. It opens daily, giving flexibility for those looking to fit a braiding appointment around a changing schedule rather than committing to a fixed weekday slot.

Customer Review Summary
Regulars return for braids that come out nice and neat, with reviewers citing years of visits, one since 2008, and consistent results whichever stylist does the work. Twists, cornrows, box braids and weaves come up, along with quick service, reasonable prices, polite staff and flexibility with children. One reviewer sensitive to tension says recent twists were nearly painless after earlier visits that hurt. The complaints are just as concrete. Several describe braids done too tight and rough handling. One says cornrows were ripped up when they came back to have them loosened, and hair fell out. Another found braids frizzy within a week. Others report an agreed price rising when a second braider helped, and an appointment booked days ahead for a daughter's senior portraits that went unhonored because the ladies said they were busy. One reviewer says the shop runs first come, first served. In one account, the owner had a rough braider take out the wrong style and redid it as the customer requested.

“I've been going here since 2008 they always get me right no matter what stylist does my braids. I've had many different styles including weaves done here. You won't be disappointed.”

“The owner of the shop was not very nice. We agreed on a price when she started on my hair. Then asked for extra when the other braider had to help. She was rough with my hair and my braids looked very frizzy the next week. This was the most uncomfortable experience I’ve ever had going to an African braiding shop!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!”

Hair always comes out nice and neat. hair provided and they wash and dry. I’ve been coming here for almost 5 years and this is the only place I go to get my braids done.”

“Got my hair cornrowed here and the lady braided my hair way to tight. Went back next day to be loosened and she ripped up some of my cornrows causing my hair to fall out. Terrible beware of this place they dont care about our hair and they are to rough. Only want money should have gotten refund.”
