NO THEY NEED MORE THAN 5 STARS TO PICK FROM. FIRST OFF I GOT THERE AT 5:45AM, THEY OPEN AT 5 AND IT WAS ALREADY TWO CLIENTS THERE GETTING BRAIDED. I DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO HAVE A SEAT BEFORE I WAS TOLD WHERE TO GO. THEY STARTED MY HAIR AT ABOUT 6ISH AND I WAS WALKING OUT AT 12PM. NO ONE WAITING MORE THAN 5 MINS TO GET INTO A CHAIR TO GET SERVICED. EVERYONE WORKED TOGTHER. THE YOUNG LADY ALSO SUGGESTED WE MIX BURGUNDY AND BRIGHT RED AND IT CAME OUT GORGEOUS. MY HAIR IS LITE WEIGHT, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND I LOVE THEM. I AM SUPER PICKY, BUT I WILL BE ROCKING WITH ULTIMATE HAIR BRAIDING BECAUSE EVERY HEAD IN THERE LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME. CRISP, EVEN AND PERFECT PARTS, WITH BRAIDS TO MATCH....more

I always have a great experience at this braiding salon! They open at 5 a.m. and welcome walk-ins, which is so convenient. Emily, Georgette, and the other stylist who did my hair were all amazing. I didn’t catch her name, but she prayed before starting my hair, and that kindness really touched me. The team is welcoming, talented, and thoughtful. I’ll definitely keep coming back!...more

I absolutely LOVE Ultimate Braiding! I’ve been coming here for my braids for a while now, and they never disappoint. The braiders are talented, professional, and always make sure my hair comes out exactly how I want it. My braids are always neat, clean, and last me a long time.

I also really appreciate how welcoming everyone is. Every time I come in, I know I’m going to leave feeling confident and looking GOOD! 😂 The quality of the work speaks for itself, and I wouldn’t trust just anyone with my hair.

If you’re looking for a reliable braiding salon with talented braiders, I definitely recommend Ultimate Braiding. They have a loyal customer in me, and I’ll definitely keep coming back! ❤️...more

I had a great experience at Ultimate Braiding. They have more than 20 chairs and at least that many technicians. I showed up at 6am on a Thursday and was seated right away. I got Senegalese twists which tend to take a little longer to do. I was on the chair for 6 1/2 hours. I got to choose the color and it felt so peaceful in there with so many other Queens. I highly recommend the experience. All of the stylists were good and if they can put two people to help they will....more

Absolutely amazing experience! Yesterday was my 3rd time at ultimate braiding, Woodlawn location and it’s safe to say I love it here! The braiders were so kind, professional, fast, and very gentle with my hair. My braids came out so neat, clean, and exactly how I wanted them. Thank you Amy for accommodating me on such a busy Saturday with my mixed colors 4/1b-30/27. I’ve gotten so many compliments already definitely and it’s been less than 48hrs 😊. I got waist length, small knotless braids. My hair was nice and full. See you all later in the summer!...more

Yesterday was my second time getting knotless and honestly I have no complaints. I live about an hour away from the shop and it's worth the drive! The first time I got there around 3, was immediately seated and was done by 730. Yesterday I arrived around 3 and though it was a little packed, I only waited an hour. I still walked out of the shop at 730. Very convenient! Prices are very reasonable and I loved my hair both times!!!!...more

They are warm and inviting. She (Ms Pauline)took her time along with the other staff to get the full understanding of what I wanted and didn’t try to talk me into another hairstyle. Scheduled for me to come back same day at 3pm (she called me back at 1230pm to say she was ready for me…. 05/08/2025)

What??!! Omgoodness woot woot Bless God.

The shops staff are all very accommodating professional and very friendly. You’re seated front facing with a mirror iykyk. The shop was very busy but not loud or overwhelming. The atmosphere was one of calm, cleanliness and productivity.

Sharing because it’s good to be good. And someone shared with me....more

They did a good job on my hair but I didn’t like the fact when I spoke to the owner I showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair it came out how I wanted but less curls and I wanted blue and red so it could match my hair color but I guess she didn’t have it so I ended up having all red hair the original price of my hair was 280 but went to 340 when it was time to pay but other than that I have no complaints but they need to let their clients know the price of their hair once they tell them what they want done...more

Amazing experience! Afi was awesome!!!! Quiet peaceful environment while they work. I have a terrible lingering cough from asthma/allergies and being sick 3 weeks ago. I flared up like 3 times and swore they would want me to go home even tho i had a mask on! My stylist kept asking others for sympathy in french, she was SO sweet! I kept falling asleep too😂 And she prayed over me when it was all said and done!! It took 8 hours, i have long hair, but i will definitely not be going anywhere else. My last braids i paid $500 for and the results dont even touch these bohos!! $280 special btw. LOVE!...more

I discovered Ultimate Braiding on Instagram, and they did not disappoint! True to their word, they accept 5 a.m. walk-ins. I arrived at 4:50 a.m. and was seated at 5 a.m. with my braider already getting to work.
I did feed-in medium knotless and they are gorgeous just as they promoted. The braids are full and beautiful, with added hair all the way down. Definitely money well spent!

The salon is clean, and I appreciated that each braider sanitized their hands before working on clients. The staff, including my braider and the other women, were both pleasant and efficient. I was the first to arrive and the first to leave, and I noticed that other clients who came around the same time were almost done too. Typically, two people work on your hair, which I think is what makes this salon so effective. They prioritize getting you in and out in a reasonable time without compromising quality.

Overall, I’m definitely coming back!...more

I had my appointment on 08/30/24 for knotless braids and the service I received was remarkable. I asked to book with a specific stylist, and that's what I got. Frida is the absolute best when it comes to braiding, especially short hair under 4 inches! I don't know what I am more impressed with, the accuracy of the parting, or the fact that my hair is red and Frida blended the burgundy hair in so good that I can't even tell the difference! All of my braids are the same size (SMALL) which could really pass for xsmall if you ask me, so you're definitely going to get your monies worth. Ladies, stop playing and go book your appointment today, ask for Frida and tell her Shanika sent you!!!!!...more

I recently visited the Ultimate Hair Braiding Gallery in Woodlawn, and let me tell you, they did a fantastic job on my Knotless Boho Braids! The experience was so enjoyable—from the warm atmosphere to the soothing gospel music playing in the background. The braider was incredibly gentle, and I felt totally at ease the entire time. My only small concern is that my hair has been shedding a bit since, but overall, I had such a positive experience. I’d go back in a heartbeat and have already recommended the shop to my friends!...more

I had a great experience. The service was about 5 1/2 to 6 hours and everything was great. My braids were very neat and lightweight. I have received a lot of compliments since getting my hair done. It’s been about two weeks and the style is holding up well. This was my first time getting knotless and I am a fan. I will definitely book again. Thank you for the great experience....more

Great braid shop, super clean and great customer service everyone was so nice. I got knotless braids the price was good and my braids are the neatest I ever had. The stylist didn’t take one break (she could have if she needed) she was focused on my parts being nice and neat. And she asked me if I was ok with the process everything was great I finally found a wonderful shop to get my hair braided even tho it 40 mins away I’ll be back....more

Ultimate Braiding has been my BEST braiding experience by far. I have short hair, very short sides and my braids provide excellent coverage, beautiful curls, one would never know how short my hair really is. Also, the braids do not hurt and my edges are gripped really tight. I LOVE MY HAIR! Thank you Ultimate Braiding.
