Quick info
About Sayida African Hair Braiding
On River Glen Dr in Greensboro, Sayida African Hair Braiding is a beauty salon offering box braids, boho and knotless twist styles, sister locs, and loc retwists. Customers can bring in a picture of a desired style for the braider to follow, and extra hair, such as curly or wavy textures, may be needed for certain styles like boho braids, sometimes at an added cost beyond the initial quote. The salon opens daily, and appointments are recommended, though walk-ins are taken alongside scheduled visits. Same-day or last-minute slots can sometimes be fit in when a cancellation opens up. Because walk-ins are worked in alongside the schedule, booked appointments can run later than their set time. Multiple people can be served in one visit, including two clients getting locs done together.

Customer Review Summary
Box braids draw the most attention here, with reviewers repeatedly praising neat parts, gorgeous results, and reasonable prices, and several also highlighting loc work, including sister locs and a two-head loc appointment done in about three and a half hours. Many describe the owner as patient, professional, and able to accommodate same-day or last-minute bookings, with one calling the salon clean and the hospitality outstanding. But the negatives are serious and recurring: one reviewer reports being kept in the chair from a 2pm appointment until past midnight for boho braids, then charged an unexpected extra fifty dollars for the hair used, and says the finished style did not match the requested picture. Another reviewer describes box braids that began falling out within days, with a refund requested but not resolved, and a separate reviewer reports significant damage to their hair and scalp after over twenty five years of wearing braids elsewhere. Several satisfied clients say they returned or plan to return and bring family.

“I called Sayida African Hair Braiding for an appointment due to a crazy work schedule. She was able to get me in the same evening. The braids are gorgeous. They match the atmosphere of the business. She is such a delight. Every experience has been absolutely wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend Sayida's!!”

“Worst boho braids EVER!! First of all, I made a 2pm appointment yesterday and got out the chair after 12am. I booked this appointment two weeks in advance. The owner that did my hair (Sayida) told me to wait and took two walkins and a 3rd person that had a booked appointment after mine with the promise of finishing quickly because boho braids takes longer is what she claimed. 🚩 Finally got in the chair showed her the picture I sent her two weeks ago as a reminder just for her to tell me that she told me to buy the curly hair, when I have text messages stating that the hair will be included and the price is $235. Now, she decides to charge me an additional $50 for what was supposed to be curly human hair for the boho style, but it was wavy hair 🚩The picture of the hairstyle I showed her twice had knotless twist with curly hair for the boho style. It looks nothing like the style I requested. Being too tired to clearly see the results, I woke up the next day and was horrified at the look of my hair. My sister and I called to rectify the situation, instead she unprofessionally argued and said she’s not going to spend hours correcting anything and that I should’ve asked her to do it when I was there. Huh? You already had me there for way more hours than I was supposed to be with my 2pm appointment, then started my hair at 6pm and finishing my hair past 12am 🚩Make it make sense 🤨I should’ve walked out when a customer complained about the non curly boho hair she was given and not what she asked for. SMH!! Never again. Ladies go at your own risk if you want boho island twist or any boho style. You’ve been warned!!!”
