I had a wonderful experience with a stylist named Valerie. She did knotless medium braids at waist length. She was quick, precise, and very professional. I was able to move the braids around with no pain the first day. I would absolutely recommend Valerie and hope to return soon for her to braid my hair again. Service: Braids
