I’m so grateful to have found ms. Darlene’s salon. She delivered on exactly what I asked for and now I have beautiful goddess braids. If you’re looking for a hair technician with experience this is the place. The salon is also super inviting with decor and a large flat screen for your favorite show or movie and I didn’t see the time go by because Ms. Darlene is just a wonderful person. She was respectful and checked in with me periodically to make sure I was satisfied. I’ll be back ?

I LOVE Ms DARLENE! I'm a dreadlock artist who crochets and wears her own creations that I usually install myself but a shoulder injury led me to find someone with braiding skills. Ms Darlene put them in 2 weeks ago and they are stayin put even with my swimming every day! Her shop is Cute and located in an old historic area of Union City. Ms Darlene did such a beautiful and lasting job on my head, she's now my go-to gal when I'm ready for the next set. THANK YOU MS D!!!

Darlene was nice as pie and to be fair she did install the dreadlock extensions I brought in. The downside is that she neglected to tell me that the extensions I purchased were horrible. I did ask her stylist if she thought it was good and she said it would be fine. I wish they would have told me before I spent 250$ for them to be installed. I’m sad that it didn’t work out the way I was thinking but lesson learned. Just wish they would have been more honest with me so I could have had a better understanding and experience. I do love the braids and the work that they do here. Really disappointed that my hair didn’t end up the way I was hoping. I will go somewhere else next time and make sure to be better informed before I hand over my hard earned money to someone who lets greed guide them instead of honesty.

I highly recommend Braids by Darlene. I have wanted to get my hair braided for years. I found Ms Darlene here on Google and really appreciate the reviews. I drove from Santa Cruz and it was definitely a worth while drive. I love my braids!!! Darlene was very helpful. She listened to what I wanted, explained what I needed to know and did an excellent job. The shop has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and is very easy to get to.

I only went in for a consultation but Miss Darlene gave me her honest and professional opinion after carefully evaluating my hair letting me know that I should grown my hair out a little while longer so that I could get my moneys worth. She could have easily performed the service and taken my money like many other hair stylist would have but she chose to give me her honest opinion which I really appreciated. Although my visit was short, I can tell Miss Darlene is a professional and takes pride in her work as well as building relationship with her clients. I will definitely be back!

Miss Darlene did an amazing job on my boyfriends cornrow braids! Darlene is incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions. She did exactly what we asked for. She's super friendly and made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. My boyfriend got a lot of compliments on his hair. Thanks again for the amazing job!

I’ve changed my review to 1 star primarily because the owner, Darlene, lost her professionalism and became rude on several occasions. The few great experiences are overshadowed by the owners’s aggressiveness. I found her behavior bully-ish by texting me accusations that my kid of left a few candy wrappers on her floor. If it was him, then I take full responsibility; however, she was not at the salon the time I was there. Still, she came to the conclusion that she needed to text me on a Sunday evening, a day the salon isn’t open to complain and start an argument disrupting Sunday dinner with my family. On the second occasion, I couldn’t deal with her hostility or accusations anymore against my son.Still, the great reviews for the salon are accurate- the salon is spacious, beautiful, and clean. The stylists are great. The prices are so reasonable. Darlene responds quickly and can be professional. We are all growing and this may only be an area of improvement, my hope is that she grows, and considers the ways in which she is treating members of her own community. I am deeply upset by my interaction with Darlene, even her response to me sharing my experience below seems passive aggressive. However, she is still a member of my community, and I intend no disrespect- only accountability. All the best.
