Client Reviews

Chelsea Edwards - Reporter, Fox 26 Houston

Monica is so creative and intuitive; she can take a couple of inspiration pictures and leave you looking like a star! I trust her decades of experience and expertise on what looks best, and she never lets me down.

I also use her oil blend as part of my weekly routine, and my hair is shinier and stronger because of it. I know that it's giving my strands what they need and can tell by the inches they've grown since I've been using it regularly.

She is the best hair braider I have had in a long time! Always make sure I am comfortable/happy with my style, never braids my hair super tight, and cares about the health of my natural hair. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to receive quality work! :-)“

”My daughter and I have had some horrible experiences with braidist. Our edges were gone, headaches for days, ongoing pain in scalp, bumps all over. We tried different braidist and always ended up wasting money having to take the braids out. When I found Monica my instincts spoke and spoke well. She was on time and ready to start. There was no pain nor irritation on my scalp whatsoever. I am able to put my braids in a ponytail with no issues, from the very first day. If you wear braids often you know that's a plus. I will be going back and referring Monica to everyone I know wanting braids. Finally, after years, I have found me a great braidist. “
