My high standards were met today at Essa Hair Braiding. Everyone was courteous and friendly, and I had a great time with my stylist. (Who did a great job with my hair, as well.) She had a great energy: she was insanely laid back, which I respond to well. (Especially a first time when I`m feeling all "OMG I`m in a salon and everyone is judging me." Yes, I`ve been to places like that.) So, seriously, go. Prices aren`t too bad, and everyone is super-nice!
