Mali Hair Braiding

Great experience...they are no longer at that location...new location is 67 st nicholas located in a salon

I went to Mali African Hair Braiding about a week or 2 ago and had a great experience. Mali is actually located in the basement. There is a hair salon when you first enter. I recommend calling and making an appointment first, but I saw them take walk-ins while I was there. First of all, they are much much cheaper than all of the other hair braiding places in the area (and yes I did walk into 4 other places before visiting). When I got there I had no idea what I wanted to do to my hair, but the daughter was very accommodating, friendly and patient as we tried to find a style that I liked to fit my budget. She only charged me 80 for very small (almost micro sized) braids and the hair was included. Both the owner and her daughter worked on my hair and had me out in 4 hours. They did a very neat job and they did not braid too tight. They seemed to have the magic touch because the other lady getting her hair done said the same thing. I'm really pleased with how it turned out and can't believe the quality of work for this price. I used to get my hair braided ALL THE TIME for years and I wasn't too thrilled about going back to braids recently, but this was definitely the best hair braiding experience I've ever had.
