Fatima's Hair Braiding

I have been going to Fatima for at least two years and have never had a complaint. Even though her children are normally in the shop while she is working, they are well behaved and very polite. I do not ever plan on changing salons. She does a head of invisible braids in less than 4.5 hours, and she is very friendly. I have yet to complain about anything over the past two years. She is a single mother, trying like everybody else to simply make ends meet, and I am thoroughly disturbed in regard to the previous ratings. I feel as though everything said is quite an embelishment , and I also feel as though all of the derrogatory comments are from the same woman. I completely support my hardresser, and I will never go to a place for over two years if I felt uncomfortable or mistreated in any way. I also feel that if the accusations were in fact true, then a steady customer like myself would have witnessed the unprofessionalism first hand.

I just left Fatimas African Hair Braiding in Cary on Western Blvd. and I must say as a person who has had there hair braided many times, I have never been so dissatfied! The shop is Filthy with a capital F, I was scared to put my bag down! Fatima has 2 children that continuously begged for our food, hit, spit on my niece and took her belongings. FAtima did not dissapline her child and when she finally tried to he would not listen. We were told that we could bring our own hair and we did but when you get there she claimed that its not good enough quality and that we should use the hair that she provides so that she can raise the price $20 higher. I got kinky twists and the lady that braided my hair was unfriendly, rude and being unneccessarily rough on my hair. She is a sloppy braider, she left Bunches of strands of hair out of the braid and after i told her about it she then started trying to use gel half way down the braid t to make it look neat ( what she should've been doing from the beginning). She then wanted to cut all the excess hair after she was done braiding, well all the excess hair that she did not catch was about 1inch of my hair that i worked hard at growing. So i left the shop with strands everywhere and $160 wasted. I would not recommed ANYONE GO TO THIS SHOP. As a matter of fact I plan to call a health inspector, the city, whom ever because the shop is nasty and her two children are made to play in this filth.

She is African and she talks about African Americans horribly. She messed up my hair and then took 4 hours to tell me that she did not know how to do the style.

Her kids were into everything even jumping on her while she was trying to do my hair

I will NEVER go back.

This is a little out of the way but they have such a variety of braiding and beauty supplies. It was like being a kid in the candy store. The staff are pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was surprised to see so much in one place.

I must have caught this women on a bad day because she had a nasty unwelcoming attitude when I first entered the shop because she had several no shows before me. Honestly, Fatima did do a great job of braiding my hair but did a poor job of washing my hair. She charged me $10 extra to wash my hair but did not seem to want to wash my hair. My head was still itching when she finished the shampoo and rinse. I think she prefers that customers wash their hair before coming. Also, her shop is really filthy and you will not want to sit anything down. This is the first time and the last time I will go to Fatima, mainly because of her attitude. The filth I could try to overlook but I do not want someone angry working on my head.
