SHADE AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING

It was the best experience I have had with braiding!!! Very gentle and made sure I was comfortable. Will be returning!!

I love Ms Linda. She does an amazing job everytime I go to her

I needed an appointment for my hair to be done before my baby shower and called to see if they could get me in 2 days, and I was told they could actually get me in the same day I called...whenever I wanted! I came about an hour later and they got started right away. Took only about 90 minutes for some crochets. Both women were extremely nice to me and talked with me the entire time, and even offered products for my dry natural hair. I thought the store looked fine, and I really enjoyed my experience. They were very fairly priced ($80 for the crochets), my hair looks beautiful and was braided properly and quickly, so I have no complaints. Will definitely go again for more styles.

Shade braiding was prompt professional and very welcoming, her shop is peaceful and she has an awesome personality. She took time to explain how to care for my braids and even offered to assist me with taking the hair down. My hair was damaged from micros and she helping me strengthen my crown. I had a wonderful experience with the lemonade braids she completed for my birthday. I will continue to come back to her am I also encourage others to as well. Very talented braider

This is the first time that I have gotten my hair braided/twisted in over ten years and I must say that I was a bit nervous. Shade calmed all my concerns and was very professional. She did a wonderful job on my hair and as soon as I am able, I'll post a picture

Her rates are very reasonable and she provides the hair, which is quality grade hair from Nigeria. Go ahead, call her and make an appointment. She is the best!!!

I got single braids done a week ago. Shade finished my hair in less than 4 hours. I washed my hair the night before and my shrinkage and tightness was no joke, Shade fixed that with Pink oil moisturizer. I love the way she cared for my hair because not all braiders will do that. This was my first but most definitely not my last time coming here, she was very professional and hospitable, love my hair.

She did my Senegalese twists EXACTLY as requested. I prefer mines twisted from the scalp and all of mines the same size... she did an amazing job and didn’t complain or seem frustrated with my desires. She’s very pleasant and does her best to make sure you’re comfortable. I HIGHLY suggest her!! I drive nearly an hour just so she can do my hair. 💜🦋

It has literally been 1 year since coming to this shop.... and I absolutely love coming here! Shade and her sister are so professional, caring and kind. You ask for a style and you walk out knowing you have exactly what you've asked for or better. They also supply the hair!! The pricing is not outrageous, the shop is clean, and unlike other shops that speak their own language the whole time, they keep it comfy for you (if interested enough to listen) and speak English and most times include you in the conversation. I drive over an hr every few months to get my hair braided. I'd definitely recommend this shop!

I am so pleased with my experience this hair braiding shop! I traveled from Bloomington here because they are THAT good! Not only did they braid my hair beautifully but they got me done in HALF the time it usually takes! They are professional and friendly and they want you to be satisfied! I’m so happy that I found them! Shade is My only hair braiders from now on! Braiding is tight but not painful & the braids are all uniform and neat! I love my hair! Thanks again!

Love the service the beautician was very professional. She took her time and braided my hair very neatly. Liked it so much I went back a second time. I can really tell the difference in my natural hair it has really become thick and it is growing back.

Shade and her sister both worked on my twists (I have a lot of natural hair) They were extremely professional, fast, friendly and open to my "white girl" questions. I've always wanted my hair twisted and they made this happen. Shade even took me to match my hair color with what to purchase, plus cute little clips. I'm so pleased with the outcome!! I will absolutely return!! I highly recommend Shade to anyone looking for African braids/hairstyles of any sorts, after all she was trained in Africa.

I've been getting my hair braided by Sister for a long time.. and finally got back in contact with her and I'm so happy I did.. As of right now I'm getting box braids done excited😀.. Next my girls are getting box braids too... Her work is beautiful and I will always come to her.. She very polite and he warming I enjoy her and her braiding team!! Give her a call!!!💖

Great work on braiding and provided quality braiding hair at the salon. I came in knowing what I wanted my braids to look like and the ladies at Shade African Hair were very attentive and took a lot of care to make sure I was happy with the style! Friendly service and people, I will be sure to return if I am in town again!

I had a great experience at Shade African Hair Braiding today! She was really friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend her to do your hair sometime. She does an outstanding job!:)

She is truly a woman of professionalism. Efficient in time, her hands speak greatly of her talent, the quality of her work exceeds her passion for braiding. She has an amazing eye for detail. You show her the picture and it's done much better. She's better than GREAT AT WHAT SHE DOES. GOD BLESS YOU My African Sistah!

Friendly, quick, and beautiful braiding. Very satisfied with my hair and the service I received. They were able to start early and get me done quickly to enjoy my weekend. Appointments encouraged and bring a picture if you can.

I had a great experience! My twists are so neat. They are very reasonably priced and are the fastest braiders I have ever experienced. I'll definitely be back!

She did a good job. The braids were small and neat and she didn't try to overcharge me like some of the other shops that wanted me to pay $180 even though my sides and back are shaved and I purchased my own hair.

She was very nice and welcoming. My hair turned out exactly how I wanted it. I recommend her to anyone who doesn't know where to get their braids done in Peoria.
