If you can dream it, we can weave it.

The tag line on Nappyedges.info should say.

It may take a day or so but eventually she can weave it.

I tried out a new braider on Monday and had a rather unpleasant time. I figured I'd pass the word along so others wouldn't be stuck in the same boat.

What was wrong with my braider. Well, her prices went up and you have to book atleast a month in advance. I shopped around and found a new one by accident that booked me a week before my appointment. Her name is DeKnight (www.nappyedges.info) and she has been working out of the Hair Corner on Lamar (behind Half Price Books). She offered 20% off for new customers so I decided to take a chance. I guess you get what you pay for. I did get my hair braided but the customer service was definitely lacking.

She booked appointments inside of mine. Some chick came in to have one of her tracks sewn in. Then some guy with hair as long as Ludacris came in to get cornrows. This added an additional 2 hours to my time at the salon (although when I saw how much hair that dude had I went home and had dinner.

I should have cancelled my appointment when she called at 7:30 to say that she needed to move my appointment from 8 to 8:30am. I was tempted to try the shop around the corner from hers when she didn't show up until 9:15.

So how long did it take? When I got into my car after she finished the clock on the radio said 3am. I don't wear a watch so I had assumed that it was around 11pm. If I knew it was 3am when I handed over my money I would have definitely made her reduce the price (I didn't tip her because of the double booking stunt she pulled).
