I have been to quite a few braiding salons, and I must say Joyce's Braiding Salon is a must try for anyone looking for braided styles. Joyce was very friendly and down to earth, salon was clean, decor was beautiful. MY BRAIDS ARE BEAUTIFUL ALSO. I asked for small knotless braids and baby that's definitely what I got. Parts are clean and precise, hair used is a nice quality, and overall the braids are super neat. I would recommend and I will be getting my braids done here from now on!
