★★★★★Rated 5 out of 5 on Google

Made an appointment and took a picture of the style I wanted. I found the shop and was welcomed. I watched Sheron finishing a client crochet style, nicely done.
I had a few pictures of the style and got to work. It turned out great and have gotten compliments.

I have been taking my daughter to World of Braids for 14 years. Sharon is my daughters stylist and I recommend her.,The stylists are amazing, reliable, and do an exceptional job with all types of hairstyles. My daughter has locs, and she loves her hair. If you want a salon where the people are friendly and accommodating, don't look any further. You won't be disappointed. It's hard to find a salon that you look forward to visiting....more

Hands down this shop is one of the most professional that I have visited in the USA. My micro-braids came out awesome & I feel I got what I paid for at a reasonable rate considering the services required. I would definitely recommend this shop over any braiding salon within 20 miles because I went to seven and called five others that could not accommodate my micro-braids request....more

Stylist: Sharon
Style requested: Crochet spring twist(with illusion braid pattern)
Appoint
ment : 3/19/2021 1-3pm

Cons:
-Appointment time was not kept by stylist, I was seen 2 hours after scheduled time. May bother others, but i used that time to check out near by restaurants. Gogi Time was right on time for me.

-No parking or loading in front of establishment. A near by bar is using the parking for there customers so be prepared to walk a little and pay a meter.

-It was hard for me to find the location of the shop especially since there's no parking or loading in front. I would recommended visiting the shop a day before you go to get familiar with the area. I circled twice before I found it.

-Stylist does not ask specific questions for desired hair style so please be detailed and prepared with videos and pictures to ensure you get the style you want and are paying for. I provided a photo and hair, but obviously, I was not specific enough and did not get the look I was hoping for(SPRING TWIST W/ "ILLUSION CROCHET BRAID PATTERN"). I took it down the same day. This is a lesson for those of us who do not get our hair braided frequently. I haven't had my hair braided in over 10 years. Lesson learned.

-The stylist was interrupted with many phone calls. It didn't bother me, I needed the breaks to stretch. This may bother others especially if your appointment was set back.
-The establishment was a little out dated, but clean.

Pros:
-My stylist Sharon was sweet and apologetic for not keeping our appointment time. She provided a heater to keep me warm, it was cold and raining outside.
- I guess the price was reasonable. I paid 125.00 for my style. Cornrows w/crochet 12in spring twist.
-Fast service(took 2 hours)
Overall I might go back for a simple style to support our black business but nothing complicated or something I seen someone else rocking. By the way my cornrows were on point I was able to rock a new style with just the cornrows in place.

Update.
Sharon was so concerned and humbled to hear my concerns regarding my hair. She agreed to redo it the next day and I loved it.
Therefore I give Sharon a 4 out of 5 for her customer service, integrity and skill.

Sumo was amazing and very professional I love her braiding style I would definitely come back. My hair came out beautiful. The only suggestion I have is hear the customer out, I wanted them a little bigger but they came out small as I tried to make suggestions she brushed it off. Thank you it’s still beautiful however, even though she braided tight my head doesn’t hurt so bad. Great job Suki!...more

Never had twists before and my kid recommended this place cuz Ana does his hair. Made an appointment with Mz. Sharon to have Mz. Suki do my hair. Took 4.5 hours and I had to feed the meter 3x but it's all good. I liked the end result and the price was $150. I came back a week later for Mz. Sharon to tighten a few twists up and she showed me how to style my new do. She also threw in a bonnet to keep my hair untangled while I slumber. I am going back in 3 weeks to get the front re-done. I would highly recommend....more

Love World of Braids. I have been going to World of Braids for over 20 years. Sheron the owner often does my hair, she is personable, professional and genuinely cares about client satisfaction. However, over the past 20 years I have also had my hair done by other braiders who are part of her braiding team. If you are looking for the #1 hair braiding salon in Oakland, go to World of Braids!...more
