Binta Africa(n) Hair Braiding in Roslindale, MA is the worst, most unprofessional place to get your hair braided.

Yes, the salon is convenient, there is always parking, its T accessible, they always have availability, and the braids last BUT they are unnecessarily rough with your hair- from blow drying to the braiding they act as if they are practicing on a hair mannequin. Do not even bother asking them to braid gently, they do not respect this request at all and you will have a headache for the next three days. They will pull and tug on your hair with very little regard for your comfort. They use cheap products in your hair and get grease all over your face- prepare for a nice little breakout!

I cannot forget the unsanitary conditions of the salon! I had to remind my stylist that she needed to wash her hands when she came back to finish braiding my hair after starting another client, who she had to ask what was in her hair because it was so greasy it surprised the stylist. The stylist then proceeded to feed her child Pringles as she braided my hair without thinking to wipe her hands.

Which brings me to my next point, THE PLACE IS A DAYCARE! All of the stylists bring their small children to the shop, where the children climb freely on clients, scream, cry, run around, and soil their diapers- which are often changed right in front of the clients!

Also, prepare to spend your entire day in the salon, they are not quick or efficient, the stylists often take breaks or tend to their children in the middle of braiding your hair.

Not only is the staff rude, they are also unethical. This salon does not offer a price list and the prices change with the wind. One day box braids are $220 another day they are $150 (I did bring my own hair that time but a few packs of braiding hair does not equate to a $70 price difference), some times getting the front of your hair re-braided costs $50 other times it costs $85-$90 (I did not bring hair with me either time).

If you absolutely must get your hair braided there, and there are many other hair braiding salons in Boston and the surrounding areas, do yourself a favor and call ahead to get a price quote.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!!!
