Kay's African Hair Braiding

I got my hair done on 12/2/23 and had box braids installed. Kay did a fantastic job. I was offered a 2pm slot but when a client failed to confirm their appointment she allowed me to come in earlier. She’s professional and requested a reasonable deposit for her services. Her work is neat and her braids were uniform. I will definitely be a repeat client.

So thankful I found Kay, having a braider in the suburbs is amazing. Not to mention her braiding skills are phenomenal. Thank you!

My daughter went to Kay’s for braided extensions.
Kay and her professional colleagues did a great job and my daughter could not be happier
Highly recommend

I've been here a couple times, Kay is the best!
I def recommend 💙

Kay did an amazing job on my hair. I went in with one style in mind and switched it up and she had no problem with it and did an AMAZING JOB. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE STYLE. She was very professional. I would recommend her if your are looking for someone to do your hair.

Super professional work! Thank you my dear, I'll be back soon!

I have been going to Kay for almost 2 years now! That's a big deal because I am a 30 something who just transitioned from relaxers to natural styles and especially for someone who never got braided styles.
In those 2 years, my hair has thickened and grown, and braids are definitely my go to most of the year now.
I honestly wouldn't let anyone else braid my hair.
Time: Braids do take time, but its never more than necessary.
She also braids my girlfriends hair, who has finer hair. Shows her skills and versatility.
She is very busy but she always makes time for me! And i have witnessed her move things around for others too.

Overall she is a very nice person, who is very talented, and knowledgeable of the area. That's helpful for browned skinned ladies in the burbs needing hair supplies, styles, or just good genuine connections.

Always professional and she does a wonderful job.

I have been meaning to rate this shop for a while now. Welp now is my time! I tried this shop service once in the past but unfortunately for me the owner Kay unintentionally had some careless and non hard working staff at that time. Honey let me tell you, it showed in my hairstyle which by the way took 12 hours to complete by multiple staff. I am very picky about my hair, so it must be executed right. I only mention this story to say hey it happrns even to the very best stylish who own a shop. However after visiting Kay's shop again after a couple months desperate for my hair to be completed by someone since my regular stylish had emergency and had to cancel my appointment. Kay and her sister braided my hair this time around and girls let me tell ya'll they did the best job I have had in years. Kay was patient, listened well to how I wanted my hair braided, and even went out and purchased the beads I wanted on the ends of my braids. We even had good conversation and a quick meal during that time. Instead of always hearing them talk amongst eachother in French or another African decent language the client doesn't understand, which always makes me think they're talking about me hahahaah It is quit annoying! I came back for Lemonade braids and they too were done professionally and was very pretty. I just wish she had more staff as trained and braids professional like herself and her sister so I can book sooner appointments or so someone can help walkin's. VERY BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Thank you Kay:)

Kay is an outstanding hair stylist! Her hair braiding services are fast, good quality and neat. She’s been braiding my hair for about 3 years now. I’m always satisfied. She has different hair colors, lengths, and styles to choose from. She fast too! I would highly recommend, Kay!

Kay is the best, she's very professional and puts out quality work. She's quick but very efficient and makes you feel totally special while in her chair. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist!

Today Kay did my hair and I love it. She was very professional and took her time on m
y hair. Very comfortable environment. I recommend this salon.

I had my braids done at Kay's and I look stunning. She is professional and very patient with me because I usually don't like the braids very tight and I always get the comfort level I desire. I will recommend this place.

Kaye has been braiding my hair for the last year and a half! I love it as well as my husband! I literally, he does not want me to go anywhere else! I fly from Las Vegas, NV to Arlington Heights for Kaye to braid my hair. I am not losing my edges from her braiding and I have new growth! Always accommodating even if she is busy...Kaye finds a way squeeze me in!

Went to my appointment and Kay started right away! She took her time and my hair style is gorgeous! A sweet woman with quality braiding hair and at a great price.

I can't tell how you difficult it's been to find a black hair salon in a predominantly white area. So to have found one, not only in my town, but one that provides quality service.....I'm pretty ecstatic. Kay is professional, kind, fast, reasonably priced, and all around a blessing. My braids look amazing! Highly texommend!

I Always LOVE THE WAY KAY BRAIDS MY HAIR!!! Her quality of work is Great!!!! They are friendly and fun in her shop! If you want satisfaction go to Kay! Period!

Excellent service! Very great at hair braiding, even though the shop was closed, she came right back to braid my daughter's hair, so amazing and I most definitely will return!

This is a wonderful place with great customer service and they do a good job. If you want your braide done nicely, I recommend you Kay african hair braiding.

Am so happy with her service, she took her time to make my hair. I finished late but i didnot mind and i also got a discount.
