As I recently relocated to SF from Oakland, I was in search of a local Braider. I found her as on Craigslist and reached out for an appointment. I received a request for $25 to hold space for an appointment the next morning for knotless singles which would go towards the service. The next morning I received a text message saying "good morning see you soon". Lima was extremely professional and did an excellent job. She paid special attention to small details with my hair/scalp that increased my confidence in her skills. I HIGHLY recommend Lima, next time I will try cornrows or something different.
Sexy S.I hadn't had cornrows done since I was a child, so I was a bit intimidated when trying to find someone I trusted with my hair. Lima was super easy to communicate with from the moment I called, and listened to exactly what I wanted. She was able to fit me in with only a few days notice. She is very thorough and pays attention to detail. I love how my braids turned out and got a ton of compliments on them! I'll be going back to Lima whenever I want to try a new hairstyle!
Cierra C.If you live in SF and you have been struggling to release your inner queen via a braided hairstyle, look no further. Lima is literally the best. She braids fast and so well. I haven't had box braids this good looking in a while. And not just that, she's so professional. She's on time. She's kind and fun to talk with. She likes open lines of communication. And her chair is in a simple shop that looks well maintained compared to many braids shops I've been to. I will only be going to her as long as I live here.
