TESTIMONIALS

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.

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!

She always does my hair so well it lasts a long time and she is perfect at her work. I'm always happy and impressed with the end result. I have gotten micro braids, knot less braids, and crochet locs and a sew in full lace wig. I am a loyal Lima hair braid customer

Lima fit me in last minute before I had to fly out at 5am. I'd recently done a big chop and my hair is maybe 1-1.5 inches long pulled out. She managed to grip my hair and give me nice secure braids. Definitely recommend!

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.
