Mandisa Fabris I’ve been going to Sarah for years, and she never disappoints! She is always on time, professional, and incredibly skilled at what she does. Her braiding work is absolutely beautiful—neat, long-lasting, and tailored to your style. Whether you choose real or synthetic hair, she knows how to make it look flawless.
A word of advice: upkeep is key! While Sarah’s braids hold up beautifully, you MUST do your part and maintain them properly. Proper care will keep your style looking fresh and protect your natural hair. If you’re looking for a talented and reliable braider, I highly recommend Sarah!

Edda Maina BIG NO!!!
One big mistake you’ll want to avoid is going to this salon.I searched the salon on Google, I called ahead and i asked if she was available to braid both my daughter’s and my hair. She said yes and offered two available times: 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. She told me to come with my hair washed and ready, but my daughter’s hair would be washed and straightened there at the salon, I suggested.
I arrived at 8:50 a.m. to find that she had just started with another client. She told me to sit and wait. A lady then came in and was told to start braiding my hair. She began at 9 a.m. and finished at 5:30 p.m. was medium braids size.
At 1 p.m., the customer I got when I arrived was done, and the stylist started my daughter’s hair. However, she stopped midway because another customer had arrived. When I asked about this, she told me that the other customer had made a booking.
The stylist who worked on my hair was very nice, but she was still training my thinking.The salon owner kept instructing and telling her what to do. I was very annoyed by the poor service, the lies, and the unprofessional behavior. To make matters worse, they had an inappropriate show on TV, with explicit content, and my daughter was there. As an African, she understands boundaries and shouldn’t have had to watch that. Couldn’t they have changed the channel?
I’m new to California, having moved here a month ago as part of the military, and I mentioned I didn’t have a job to them, I think that’s why she assumed I wouldn’t complain, or she downgraded me, for any reason.
Well, I will definitely find another place.
It usually takes me about 2 hours to get my hair done, but she claimed it took so long because my hair is short—ridiculous.
Lesson learned: If you choose to go there, that’s on you, but I won’t be returning.

Jewel Brown I recently visited Decontee African hair braiding salon for a knotless braids style and was beyond impressed by the welcoming, professional staff who created a calm atmosphere. The stylists thoughtful consultation about my desired look, and her helpful suggestions based on my hair type and preferences, resulting in stunning, neat, precise, and long-lasting knotless braids that stayed in place for weeks without frizzing or unraveling. The salon itself was clean, organized, the owner made sure that I was pampered and cared for, and I left with gorgeous vacation braids and a big smile on my face. Already booked my next appointment and highly recommending Decontee African hair braiding salon to anyone seeking top-notch braiding services.

Tamara Johnson Sarah is great!!! I got the faux butterfly ombré dreads first. Then came back about a month later with short loose grey wavy hair. I will see her again in about another month or so. She is very friendly and quick appreciate her.
