Braids By Isabelle

Not yet a customer. I was curious to why I could not read the negative reviews, it kept re-directing me the 5 stars reviews.
This isn't helping me make my decision at all. It looks like the current customer who had mentioned bogus 5 stars reviews were posted so the shop would look creditable and get clients. SMH.

WOW!!!! God bless you my sister......sorry you were so disenchanted.
I too am a recent customer of Isabelle's braid shop and to the contrary, I had a beautiful, professional and shift service all on a same day appointment which she went out of her way to accomendate me for.
The shop environment was clean,peaceful and the braiders were friendly and I must add......there was no excessive cell phone use or breaks taken.
A veteran braider myself , I have been all over the globe for braid services.
I commute one hour each way to return for services from Isabelle and will remain a faithful customer.
If this were a fine department store and there was a complaint, it would be only fair to return to Customer service and give them a chance to retify the problem. Clearly this was not the case by this previous customer.
A fellow sister or business owner would consider the hard work it takes to maintain customer satisfaction and "treat others the way we want to be treated'.

We also, DO GET WHAT WE PAY FOR......not sure what size braids you got or what other sevices but shops/salons that charge less than $250 for ANY service is scarce.
My advice check it out for yourself before you judge. You dont want to miss out on a great experience.

I love this place as well. I got my hair braided for my cruise and just love it. The young ladies that work in this shop are very friendly and they are like family. That is how long they have been doing my hair.

I love this place ! I've been going here since my senior year of highschool.... All the ladies are friendly and work fast. I'm never in the longer than 5 hours ! Whenever I call I can get in the same day! Thanks ladies you are the best !!

They MUST be writing their own reviews! I went there WITH my hair already micro braided from previously done a month earlier in NY. All I wanted was to re-do the front/back of my hair, fresh up the hair a bit. Even though I did call and explain what I needed done. Got there and was told by Isabelle that she DIDN'T know how to braid short hair. I've always worn braids and never once had anyone told me my had was too short for braids! Clearly, she shouldn't be having a hair salon. Very dirty, out dated shop, old unsafe furniture. Their neglected kids in the salon, crying and fussing. As far as I could see, NOBODY in that salon knew how to braid! So please, STOP with the fraudulent reviews. Does anyone know where I can get real nice microbraids done in the state of GA????

Maintaining "natural" hair can be time consuming and challenging, so I was looking for other options other than a sew in or wearing a wig. I'd never had braids before and decided to give it a try. I was extremely nervous because I was not familiar with any shop in the area that could create a nice style that I would love. I started searching the internet and after about two weeks I came across the reviews for Isabelle's African Hair Braiding shop. There were more positives than negatives so I decided to give her a call. I spoke with the owner, Ms. Isabelle, and immediately had a wonderful conversation with her. She is a soft spoken, patient and very understanding woman. I told her I would like to come in and discuss styles that I thought would work for me. She is very knowledgeable and professional and she recommended the best braids for my hair. I made an appt. for that weekend. She was very open to the date and time I wanted to have my hair done. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck on the day that I was to get it done. She told me how to "prep" my hair before getting it braided (another sign of her excellent knowledge and years of experience). I was always told how sore my scalp would be during and after getting braids. She understood my concerns and told me she would not have the braids too tight. To make a long story short, I have been back 3 times since my first experience with Ms. Isabelle and her sweet sisters (who assist her). I get tons of compliments on my braids and they last a very long time. Another great thing about Ms. Isabelle and her sisters, they value their customers and do the very best to make the customer comfortable and satisfied. I am a customer for life and can not imagine going anyplace else to have my braids done. Try it for yourself and you will also be a believer. Oh and the prices are excellent!! May God continue to richly bless you Ms. Isabelle!

I have been wanting to get my hair braided for the first time and didn't have a clue as to where I was going to get it done at. My uncle discovered Isabelle's shop. I walked in and Isabelle greeting me with such a lovely grace. I asked her if I was able to get my hair done today and she advised yes with no hesitation. I am so happy that I decided to let them braid my hair because being that this is my first experience my hair turned out to be so wonderful. They are very professional and sweet and for the best part really know how to braid hair. Thanks Isabelle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I met this owner at another location she was alway calm and carried a good sprit a about her. My oldest daughter lost her hair due to medical issues and I took her for braids Isabelle and her team help my daughter grow her hair back and build her self- esteem up. I am forever grateful and will always use them for my braiding service.

Great friendly, efficient service. Business like. Isabelle and her assistant finished my hair in about 5 hours with micro wet/wavy. What a relief I hate to sit for braids. the only negative thing I have to say is that although I could not tell when they were braiding it was tight. The spray they offered at the end really helped. But the pain was worse the next day. Needless to say a month later my braids still look great so no pain, no gain. I will still be back but if you have sensitive scalp be forewarned. Otherwise they were great and highly recommended plus they had free internet and I was able to get some work done so it was a productive day.

Isabelle is absolutely amazing!! She's super sweet and is very talented. I've been getting my hair braided with her for 2 years! Fair prices, great atmosphere!

Went to this place today Sept 29th 2012 and I love it!!!! The workers and friendly and a pleasure. I would recommend this place too anyone!!!!! I will def be going back very soon. Price was thee same as I was told over thee phone as well!!!! EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!

I have been going to Isabelle for 2 years now, and at first I was skeptical because my hair was thin,and my edges and back are exceptionally thin.I was impressed with how friendly, patient and so much like family (the Sweet Ones) Ms Isabelle and her staff were polite and made me feel comfortable. I have had the priviledge of getting Sengalese Micro twists,Micros and tree braids, and all styles came out perfect. I especially like the fact that without a doubt I always get what ever appointment time that I request and thats VERY,VERY good. Anytime you can get braids and sleep with out someone jerking your head, or pulling your hair too hard thats just Awsome. Thanks . Oh! and I will be getting My hair done in 3 days..

hey miss ksrobinson,you can't pay $40 and get a small no knot,and nobody will braid a cornrow no knot for $40 anywhere in the us,cause its a lot of work and and it takes time,so you even got more than you paid for cause this lady did you a favor by making your niece hair a no knot cornrow,so please be grateful,even though you will never come back, but anyway thanks for your business,God bless

hi miss lady,you know that all you're saying ain't true ,yes you came in some one started your hair because you kind of bald it wasn't full,and some one else took over and everything was fine,we talked,we joked,we laughed that person did everything possible to make your hair full since you didnt have enough hair and a small head

when you finished braiding your hair you're so happy because the braids were small and your head full and i believe you really liked because otherwise you're going to express youself as you did when the first girl started doing it.When it was time for you to pay you hide a money order on your palm and give it to the owner the money was not complet you left the shop to go get the rest of the money and you never showed up,you know that s what happen because i was there

so please don't try to spoil people buisness because you because we enjoyed the time the time we spent together

If you choose not to come back thats your choice,but we are not bother because we know we did a good job and the Lord will still send wonderful people to bless us

take care

I spoke with the owner she acted as if she understood what I want for my niece. I informed her I didn't want the braids ot knots big. Also the style in a mo-hawk side ways. She did her hair exactly how I said not to do it on top of that I'm still trying to imagine the mo-hawk. Lucky my niece didn't want to have to sit there again otherwise it would've been done over. It looks about a week old and its only been a couple of hours. Please don't believe the hype so unsatisfied.

This establishment received a lot of high ratings, which is why I went there and why, for the most part I considered it a high rated experience as well. Isabelle was so nice. We communicated very well and as a customer who wants what I pay for I told her what I didn’t like from my previous experiences and based on reviews here, I was confident that I would not get the same from her. She agreed and said she fully understood.



However, I gave it a three because of my experiences outside of Isabelle. After having to ask that one particular person not braid my hair again because she was breaking stands of it, braiding differently than Isabelle was, and braiding too tightly; after braiders not wanting to do take downs and unnecessarily keeping me there longer than I wanted to be; and after being yelled at because I changed my mind about wanting my hair cut was enough. I won’t go back.



Some people giving reviews will have a different and less to complain about experience. That makes sense because it isn’t going to be the same for everyone. For me though, it has to do with my expectations and standards for giving my money to someone for their service. For those who expect that same level, I thought you may want to know. Perhaps if you go, you can use my experience to say what you’ve heard and what you don’t want repeated. For some this review will be of no significance because of the differences in what we see as acceptable, but please when talking about doing you, don’t try to discredit what I got from my experience.

I did an online search for a new hair braider and came across Isabella's reviews and decided to give her a try. Can I say BEST EVER!! I have had my braids in for almost two months and I am still getting compliments on them. My braiding experience was awesome and fast. I got the microbraids that I had always wanted. Will definitely be going back to her.

Healthy hair braiding, does not braid tight, braids last, use product on natural hair before braiding. Very polite and fast will be back.

This is the best & friendliest African braiding shop in Atlanta. Very professional, nice, caring and compassionate. I drive all the way from Douglasville to Stone Mountain just for their service. I highly recommend anyone to go to them for any kind of braids.

I came to he salon earlier this year because I wanted to get my hair done in senagalese twist and wanted them done right. After reading reviews I decided that this was the place for me to go. Isabelle is so sweet, the salon is nice and they made me feel very welcome. So my hair turned out GREAT!!!! Everywhere I went someone was talking about my hair,and I kept it in for 3 months( it still looked good to) ;). Anyway now I am back getting my twist and I know they are going to be just as beautiful like before! Please check her out dont just settle remember you get what you pay for and you will not regret it!
