This is my third time going to Aminata's and the quality of the braids, in my opinion, has been steadily decreasing. I went in today with the right hair I needed for my braids as well as the video of how I wanted it to look. When I asked for bigger braids the person was not very receptive and continued to do as she pleased. She then proceeded to talk over my hair to another co-worker who was also working on my hair.

I am always pleased with my look after leaving Aminata's salon. The ladies are personable and work quickly. Instructions are taking well and each style i request with various hair colors and textured hair are made into works of hair art by these fine braiders. I would recommend this shop for quality braiding for a great price. Thank you Ladies of Aminata!
