Best african braiding salon in waldorf. I have tried so many salons before and had not so good experiences but Rakida was great! They called me back to schedule, started on time and gave me the neatest box braids ever!!!!! On top of that , everyone was very nice and the place was very neat as well! And lastly, they were transparent about the price. Will definitely returnService: Braids

Sunday Sept. 18, 2022 I took my 9yr. old granddaughter to Rakida’s hair Salon to have her hair braided. Before I took her I made the appointment with Rakida and I had quite a few questions. She informed me they could wash her hair there to. Once we arrived Rakida let us In without greeting us or introducing herself. After all this our first time there. Everything went downhill from there. When she washed her hair she should have washed it in a downward motion instead of a circular motion. My granddaughter has 4c hair which is thick and tight. Then she went to dry it with the comb dryer, and she was raking thru her hair so rough the comb kept falling off. She even dropped the hairdryer on the floor, all while my granddaughter was silently crying while I was holding her hand. Then she sent her to another stylist to finish raking thru her hair, while talking to her about my granddaughters hair in her native African language. Rakida goes to tell me we don’t wash her kind of hair because it is hard to do, as if something is wrong with her hair texture. Before someone makes an appointment she should inquire about the persons hair texture if they want it washed to. I understand it takes time to do her hair, so if you can’t accommodate this let people know up front. I decided to just leave without anyone doing anything else to her hair. This was the worst salon hair experience for my granddaughter and myself. The only descent thing I can say is that her other stylist were cordial.

I thoroughly enjoyed being there and I LOVED MY HAIR!!! I got medium size very long box braids. The people were so nice and helpful. I called mid week and they were able to fit me in on a Friday after work. I will definitely be going back and I have already recommended this place to many people! You have to go!!!! Also, I loved how they braided my hair around my edges. They didn't get too close because it is growing back slowly. In the past, I went to other places who use every strain of hair around your edges, but here I can tell they not only care about your current style but also your hair after you take it out. I am already planning my next braiding style lol

My braider did a good job only downside was my braids are very tight. But overall I like them and they had my color. The lady I spoke with to set up my appointment was very professional and reconfirmed my appointment. I think her name was Aicha (sorry if I spelled it wrong)

These ladies were very kind and helpful.. I have a mix baby and she wanted to get her hair done but I didn’t know how many bundles I had to purchase and what to do… they were very kind enough to help and I can’t recall who did my daughters hair but she was really good. I definitely recommend this place.
