Coumba African Hair Braiding

Well first let me say that I've been getting my hair braided professionally for about 15 years. I'm new to Jacksonville and needed to find a braider. I called Coumba's and was qouted $160 to $180 for Micros. The day of the appointment, the owner and her staff were a half an hour late. Once I sat down in the chair, the owner Coumba, attempted to charge me $200 instead of the agreed upon price. I told the ladies exactly how I wanted my hair, "full, with no part in the front". I also stated that I ordered Brazilian hair directly from the manufacturer.
Well let me first say that the
e only part of my hair that is full is the front. However there is a part directly in the center of my head. Secondly, the braids in the back are extremely uneven. Thirdly, and the worst part of all is too much of my hair ended up on the floor. They also ripped a lot of the hair as they seperated it by combing too harshly and then tried to blame it on the manufacturer. What started out being 22 inches, ended up being about 12, rendering it unusable.
In the end, I hate my hair and the only style I can actually wear it in is a bun. This is very unfortunate... Oh and by the way, when I asked one of the girls to not use thick Bergamont hair grease in my hair, she immediately got an attitude. I guess that's why my beautiful Brazilian hair ended up ripped and on the floor. Lesson learned. I will never ever never go to this establishment again.

I was so blessed to find this place. I was in jacksonville for work. I wanted my hair braided. I call and the same day...I had appointment. My braids are so pretty. Everyone loves my braids...just as much as I do. I live in Michigan, I will come back for my braids again. She is a beautiful person. Thank you, see you soon!!!

Having been a client ten years ago and enjoyed the artistic and warm atmosphere I was excited to get back in the chair with Coumba but I was treated to her daughter Louise who not only braids with speed but she educates you on care and products of your style! Best braid salon in Jacksonville!!

they braid good but exprct to pay more for SOMETHING when you get there! never the price they say .

I have been going to Ms. Coumba for about 10 years now. I love the atmosphere. She and her staff are very welcoming, always making sure I'm comfortable. They are flexible with my very busy schedule. I am always more than happy with my hair. I have had micros, booty braids the size of micros, rope twist, locs, etc. All I have to do is say what I wanted, sit back, enjoy my visit, love my hair, and refer then to every one that stood me and compliment me on how they love my hair. I will never go back to the creamy crack as long as there is Ms. Coumba African Braiding.

I had a hard time finding a quality hair stylist to braid my hair in Orlando. I was recommended to Coumba by a relative who lives in Jacksonville. When I arrived, the ladies at the shop were so friendly and professional. They worked on my together so that I would arrive back home in Orlando at a decent time. My braids were absolutely beautiful!!! People kept stopping me on the street asking who braided my hair! I will continue to drive the 2 hours from Orlando to Jacksonville to get my hair done. If you are looking for a friendly staff with quality services at an affordable prices, Coumba is the place for you!

I really do not understand why she want to put a bad comment.first of all we charge her more because she wwant the braids longer than what we spoke through the phone and if you haven't get your hair done for more than a year and you have a natural hair you gonna feel it of course. But our goal is to please our customers and she was happy because the job was need and we'll done

I went here because it was recommended by a friend. I was quoted one price and when I arrived they said another price. I was not pleased in the least. Then the woman was rough with my head. I will NEVER go back here to get my head done and I would not recommend this place to anyone either.

I went there as a walk in and I have short, thin hair. I am very tender headed but beauty is pain right? Through all my mad faces, leg shaking, head holding trauma my micros came out great! The ladies were patient with me and they played some movies also to keep me & the other customers entertained. There was a lady that got the Senegalese braids and they were done perfectly! Good atmosphere, good people and good work.

I was in town visiting from New Orleans and looking for a braiding salon until I returned home. I am so glad I found this shop. They were very fast. I had four people working on my hair at one time. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. My hair is beautiful and very very neat. I have the medium senagalese twist. Thanks to all the staff I appreciate your hard work.

I love getting my hair braided by coumba and her workers I love that they pay attention to what I want and how I want my hair braided no never had a bad experience from her and I habe been going to her over 5 years and they actually helped my hair grow. You cant find a better hair braider than her in jacksonville
