Best WLM Reviews
The first time I went to Astan, my box braids turned out amazing. They lasted the full six weeks without me having to do a touch up. However, the second time was nothing compared to the first. I got my hair done on a Friday and by that Sunday, my real hair was coming out of the braids. I contacted the shop and went back to get them fixed. The woman started yelling in another language when she saw how many braids needed to be redone. Only the back was redone and I was not charged for it. However, three days later my hair started coming out again. Due to the inconsistency of the service, I do not plan to return.
I come here every 3-4 months. I am happy with my hair every time and they always have the color i like. I only wish it was a bit faster but good work and alota hair takes time sometimes
I had the best experience ever! It was first time I had my hair braided by a professional and before I went I was worried it would hurt after or I would lose my edges.
I ended up with beautiful mid back braids, which were firmly installed. I didn’t need any painkillers to sleep because they didn’t hurt at all. They were kind and even when it took a little longer than they expected, they never complained and were cheerful. I left a tip out of gratitude for the excellent service! I will definitely go again and make this my ONLY braiding salon! Bravo
I got knotless goddess braids and I LOVE them. I had a 9:15, they sat me immediately and I was done around 1pm! Super nice braids, very quick, especially for size. Definitely will go again!!
The style itself came out okay enough. Downsides though: their website stating they recommend appointments but accept walk-ins as well as their style pricings are not adhered to. Made an appointment for 11am, my head was not started until 2:15pm. I didn't know they didn't blow-dry hair before braiding it nor did they tell me when I called the day before so I went with ny natural hair freshly washed and detangled but still in it's natural state. Between the three of them, they complained about how much hair I had (my hair is thick but only about 5in stretched after a huge chop 8 wks ago) and when one finally decided to take on my hair after going back and forth in their native, she detangled it in the roughest way possible with a rat tailed comb, complained about her back hurting and told me she couldnt do zig zagged parts for the style and had to add more cornrows and braided so tightly on some of them i damn near had a panic attack. My naturals know the damage caused detangling in that way. I chose cornrows with extensions which on their site is 60, because of my hair thickness she charged me 120 then bullied me into tipping her 20, asking offendly if I was only gona tip her 10. A couple days later, after being able to turn my head a little more, realized the braids are not evenly spaced. All in all, it was a style in a pinch and I chose them for their website pricing but that turned out to be false advertising so don't think I'll be travelling that far for that service again.
I got my hair braided at Astan
A little while ago and I won’t be returning. The Braid’s were entirely too big, the breeder made the braids small won the ones that I checked, then proceeded to make huge parts. The huge knot I want the top of the braids did not help. It caused me to experience a lot of hair loss at that part. If you go there I would suggest you telling the breeder to feed it in and perhaps you would have a better experience. On a more positive note the shop is cleaner And seemed more hygienic than most African braiding shops.
My experience with Astan was okay. My hair was braided beautifully and I would have rated them higher. I had them wash my hair since they could take me as a walkin, I am not used to my hair being washed without conditioning afrerward. Also the towel she used to dry my hair smelled like mildew or wasn't laundered. Next she blow dried my hair & combed it harshly in a super dry conditon which caused shedding and breakage. I complained and she turned me over to another lady who braided my hair. I don't think the other person spoke English. I was however pleased with my braids but not with my soaking wet shirt when I left!
