Kinte Hair Braiding Salon - Garland, Texas

We have been to the salon with Maryam and Ms. Dee many times and they never disappoint! My girls always leave with beautiful braids. They accommodate the kids school schedules and make setting an appointment super easy! They are so sweet and I love their friendly personalities! We will for sure be back again!

This was my first time visiting the salon. Maryam and Ms Dee are amazing! They were friendly and welcoming and attentive to my needs with my hair. I got the Senegalese twists and my hair came out simply beautiful. Thank you ladies for your beautiful spirits and talented hands. You do phenomenal work!

I recently moved to Dallas. I wasn't having much luck with salons. I went to one salon and I ended up waiting an hour for the stylist. Next appointment she overbooked and didn't get to me at all. I am so thankful for my experience with Mariam and the stylists at Kinte Braids. They were on time and very professional. I have had many compliments on my hair. I am so thankful for the women in this salon! I will definitely return!

I went about 8 weeks ago and had the absolute best experience. I had my daughter with me (she was 9 almost 10 months at the time) but they welcomed her with no problem as I sat in the chair to get micro Senegalese twists (at least they didn't show that they were annoyed if they were). Anywho, I got there at 4pm on a Friday and it took them 4 hours to finish my head, and I have thick natural hair. I took them down today with ease and minimal shedding. I didn't have chunks of hair coming out or excessive shedding (that's always a big concern because even tho my hair is thick, it's also fine). I could have definitely gone another 4-6 weeks easily, but I typically can't wear a hairstyle for more than 2 weeks lol. They were very polite, professional, and provided quality work. Best braiding shop I've been to in North Dallas. Thank you ladies!! You're awesome!

Oh....and there was very little pain after the twists were installed, but the next morning I was fine. No headache or soreness. Better go see them.

I asked for the pic I found on Instagram. I was told to purchase Marley hair. When I informed her I was not happy with my end result I was informed ‘due to the texture of Marley hair, it wasn’t going to look like the picture’ and if I wanted it “smooth like the picture” I should’ve gotten Senegalese twists. I was going to wait the (2) days she asked me ‘sit and think on my hair to try and grow to like it’ but no. I called earlier and simply asked what could we do to fix it? I found knots in the hair which she did undo but when I brought jay up in our conversation she replied “...and I fixed it without saying anything” you’re supposed to be a professional and if you were doing a final sweep/comb through of my hair you clearly saw the knot and choose not to say/do anything about it until I pointed it out. $180 I was charged upfront because I had to go get more hair. I was asked why I didn’t say anything when I had to leave to get more hair. My answer is simple. I thought you still had to to do touch ups and I knew the hair still needed to be dipped but never did I think the final would be the attached photos. My hair looks like I’ve had it in for several weeks and the ends are uneven, some are tapered others are blunt cuts. I also told I could come back to get my hair redone if I still didn’t like it but I would still get charged(half price but still charged non the less). One of the things that bothers me the most is that II felt she wasn’t even trying to hear my concerns as a customer. I was over talked, asked questions as if I was in the wrong for not liking my hair and felt brushed off. I choose this establishment because of the positive reviews and the lovely outcomes in their gallery but on this day with my hair, the ball was dropped and I am extremely disappointed that the customers concerns were brushed off. My hair was literally completed an hour in a half ago and it looks like it’s been in for weeks but she felt it looks fine....what do y’all think?

I took my 10 years old daughter here yesterday they did an awesome job on my daughter hair. She got the Senegalese Twist. I was truly impressed of their service. They were very professional. (Miriam told me it would take 4 hours but with 3 peoples on my daughter hair it only took just a little over 2 hours) I will definitely recommend their service to all my family, friends and coworkers.

The first time I got braids done was in New York back in April of this year and they were a hit then I Decided to do it again here in Dallas Googled braids near me and choose Kinte cause I liked the name and the lady on the phone was nice since I knew I was a last minute walk in and to my amazement she got it done under an hour and it came out better then the last! I'm definitely coming back the prices are fair and Miriam sweet attitude it's hard to find these days.. God bless!
