Mabel Hair Braiding - Raleigh NC

Unfortunately I will no longer be supporting this business until training is done on how to better braid clients hair and how to prevent Traction alopecia. A client shouldn’t have to tell you if you are braiding too tight, you should already know. The money is all this business has become about. I remember when the quality of work was beautiful and it promoted hair growth and not damage. Gain the passion you once had and your business will thrive again. It shouldn’t be All about the money. I’ve been coming here for almost 12 years until today. I have to heal physically and mentally because of what has happened. I have NO EDGES. If anyone would like me to post pictures I will.

It was a good experience. I just didn't think it would take 6 1/2 hours to do for what was supposed to be Cornrows Hairstyle. (Not all my hair was Cornrows Braids, some was Box Braids.

They are very very very unprofessional.. I’ve been there multiple times with no problem and took a child to get two straight backs . Mind you she had 4c hair, i specifically told them if they couldn’t do two braids then to put 4 braids in her hair , the lady who braided her hair continued to braid her hair, she put lots of black gel on her hair after I told the owner to use jam. Then she put her under the dryer and her hair was not right .. I will never go back there. They wanted to take her hair out and send her outside without her hair done .. they said that they didn’t want to do her hair at all after they messed up on her hair. I hate unprofessional people and if you knew you couldn’t do the job you should’ve just said that .

I advise you to just pass this shop up. Website is terrible. Asked individual if she could send me pics to show her work and said she couldn't. Told me to go to instagram. I have no instagram account. She sound like she was anxious to get off call. Maybe this shop has too many customers and they think they can afford not to offer a decent customer service experience with new prospects. I'll pass.

Ive gone here plenty of times to get my hair done and every time I do it’s a PROBLEM. They worry more about how pretty a style is rather than the health of your hair. If you come with your hair in it’s natural state, they will blow your hair out while it’s DRY! And if you complain about it, they’ll offer for you to do it yourself even though you’re paying them for THEIR services. I lost my edges on the right side of my head because of them constantly gripping my edges and weighing them down with braids. So now I suffer from traction alopecia that still haven’t healed or grew back years and treatments later. I recently went back here yesterday to get some jumbo braids, I parted my hair, blown it out and even bought my own hair because she said labor was the reason why she overcharges and providing the hair and they charged me $150 and they didn’t even tuck my natural hair in or use jail so it would stay in the braid or NOTHING. Just complained about the type of weave I have and then put it in there with no effort. My brother came here to get his hair washed & detangled and to get his hair dreaded and they got a comb and combed out his dry matted hair and claimed that was the only way she can do it. He literally almost cried and he’s 20. She used a ton load of gel for the dreads tooud83eudd26ud83cudffd‍♀ufe0f. They also argue with each other a lot and sneak diss in their own language which is very annoying because they assume you can’t understand them. They tend to talk about our hair or how annoying we are with telling them how we want our hair done but yet they always tell us to let them know. (I’m the picture with the blonde box braids) DO NOT COME HERE! I be trying so hard to support my black queens but these women don’t know what they’re doing.
