Been coming here since I was 16-17 years old. I’m now 25. And my mother & sister were horribly mistreated by some skinny weirdo 5/16/26 telling them they don’t do 2 braids, which they’ve always done for years, & then talking about my ELEVEN YEAR OLD SISTER as if she or my mother weren’t standing right there and couldn’t hear her. Why does it matter about her age? Tell me how old you think she looks psycho. Never ever spending money here again. Sick of the attitudes and certainly not paying to be treated like that.

I couldn't give a zero and even that's too high. I have been going to Elite braids on 529 for over the past 15 years. I went in today, Saturday, 5/16 to take my youngest daughter to get braid services. I encountered the rudest most unprofessional braider ever. I asked about 2 french braids and she quickly cut me off saying they don't do 2 braids. Okay since when? I Then I asked well if someone could do another style to which she said we don't do 2 braids. Yeah I know, we already established that. She was so quick to cut me off she wasn't even trying to listen at all. She then offered knotless or box braids. I asked for the price and she called another braider to inquire. She asked my daughter's age and I told her 11. I heard her try to say under her breath she doesn't look 11. Well, I don't care how old she looks to you. That's her age. I said she is 11. She told me I need to go get hair and I just left because there is no way I am paying and patronizing a place that has a person like her there. The other ladies that use to work in this shop were always so sweet and nice. This place is just in the trenches and went way downhill as far as service. Braids are high and we have spent thousands there over the years. Never returning there.

Went in at 9am with an appointment to get boho knotless braids and they did not start until 10am. They kept switching which worker would braid and even left my sibling for an hour without touching her hair at all. Workers kept arguing and they braid very slow. I did not leave until 7pm and i got there at 9am!! There were roaches in the restroom and this place is so unprofessional and unpleasant! The braids turned out nice but the cons outweighed any pros!

Will NEVER be back again
-Had an appointed and still waited almost 2 hours. The braided came, ate and had a bad attitude. when she asked what I was getting and I told her she said that’s not the price. I showed the website and the email of how much it should be and apparently everybody found that funny cause they laughed at me for a few hours.. Miss attitude left and someone else started working on my hair and told me every time I come I complain, but I never complained before (one time I booked crochets and she asked did I want them individual and I asked how much more. I was fine with price) but when she seen I didn’t have to hair she just had to do it the Original way.. when have I EVER complained. She laughed about how short my hair was on one side and kept bringing up how I thought the prices were the same on the website.
Lastly, if you try to tell them about themselves they start talking bad about Americans. Y’all don’t have to worry about me, cause this AMERICAN will never be back

Unfortunate Experience and Lack professionalism

I am writing this review at the request of one of the stylists at Elite Hair Braiding Studio. I want to preface this by mentioning that I attempted to contact the salon's owner prior to writing this review, but received no response. Last week, I reached out to several salons in Houston to get my hair braided. As a colorectal cancer survivor, I have had success with other stylists with braiding my hair in the last year. However, my recent visit to Elite Hair Braiding Studio was highly disappointing.

I made an appointment at the salon located near my home on Westheimer, and it was confirmed for last Friday. When I arrived at the designated time, there was no one present. I immediately called the provided contact number and spoke to a gentleman who confirmed my appointment but couldn't explain the absence of staff. He promised to get back to me and eventually called back, suggesting that I visit another salon five miles away near the Royal Oaks area, which was inconveniently distant from the Galleria.

Arriving at the alternate location, I brought my own hair as requested and explained that I wanted two cornrows with hair color matching the cancer ribbon to show support. The stylist seemed unsure, claiming my hair was not long enough for just two braids, despite my recent successful experience with such a style lasting for weeks. She insisted on doing multiple braids instead, which naturally incurred additional costs beyond the originally agreed-upon price. I reluctantly agreed which was a mistake.

As she began,😐on my hair, the stylist engaged in a heated argument with another stylist, with one criticizing her work and insisting on a redo. This escalated into a verbal fight, which was eventually diffused by a third stylist who was working on a child. The entire incident left me feeling embarrassed and shaken. The stylist seemed uncertain about the style and hurriedly attempted to finish.

Leaving the salon, I discovered that I had received six braids of varying shapes and sizes, with the first two braids already coming undone by Tuesday. In an attempt to address the issue, I reached out to the salon on Tuesday but received no response. It is now Thursday, and I have decided to cut my losses. While everyone has a bad day, this experience, as a cancer survivor advocate and someone seeking hair services, lacked sensitivity and professionalism.

If someone were to ask me about Elite Hair Braiding Studio, I would regrettably have to advise against visiting. Witnessing the lack of consideration for my concerns and observing the altercation over the quality of my hair was truly disheartening. This review serves as a factual account of what transpired during my visit. I have no intention of harming their business; I simply wanted to share my experience. I would certainly advise caution to anyone dealing with any sort of chronic illness or trauma surrounding their hair.

Let me start by saying they do a great job braiding! This was my 1st time going to Elite Braids, I saw good reviews on them and great pictures of their client's hair being braided. So, I decided to give them a try.
The reason for the 2 stars is I booked my appointment online in February via their website for March 4th. Got both an email and a text message confirming my appointment. In the email it said I could send pics of what I specifically wanted so someone could give me a quote. After texting back and forth a lady just called to talk to me ..and she told me $120..(a good price after all..BOTH sides of my head are shaved) she said she would make a note of the price she quoted me. As we get closer to the month of March I decided I needed to reschedule my appointment..I call and speak to someone easy no problem rescheduling to 10:00am, Saturday March 23rd. Got both another email and text confirming my new rescheduled appointment. I get there ..they are located in a small strip with a terribly small busy packed parking lot..the parking was ridiculous. The companies around had their own reserved spots (2-3) and made sure if you parked there you were coming into their place of business if not they waved you down and told you to move. A big black Cadillac Escalade was taking up the only 2 parking spaces for Elite Braids. 🙄 I tried to squeeze close to the Escalade but the dry cleaning lady said no and asked me to move. Found an area that was not for parking but another vehicle made a parking space out of it and there was enough space for me to make a space next to them.
Its 9:57 am by the time I get parked somewhere, walk in and every braider (7‐8 ladies braiding) in there has a client in their chair...no one is at the front desk, no one asks if I have an appointment they just say "hi" (in a tired exhausted tone of voice and ask what I wanted (Senegalese Twist) then told me to sit down where 3 other ladies are waiting. 🙄 No one is ready for me at 10am. I waited 25-30min before I got in a chair with an unhappy braider.
They are inconsistent with communication and prices.... the lady asked me how long i wanted them i said bra strap length the other braider across the way says $160. 🙄 ok so now I'm thinking its because of the length I said ..ok fine.
2 1/2 hours later I have a different braider the 1st lady took a break on my head and hopped over to do someone else's (they tag team) but the 1st person who started braiding my hair left for the day and the front desk person has finally arrived (2:24pm) asks me to sign in on this clipboard asks the now new braider braiding the back portion of my head how much ...$180🙄🤯😳👀 SERIOUSLY.....NO. THEY KEPT UPPING THE PRICE.
I'm just sticking to who and what I know. I will return to my original braider. I didn't go to her this time because she doesn't like to do Senegalese Twist....and from what I could see these ladies aren't a fan of doing them either.

That's all.

***Update 06/26 8:30PM*** So the owner has responded to my review from earlier today and made it seem like she was so apologetic but the truth of the matter is, she could care less. In the photos you can see that the braids in the back are bigger and spaced out. Another example of horrible work that was done to my hair. I have attached photos of the conversation via text and you shall see that she doesn't apologize at all during the conversation. After I posted my review and she read it she than became combative and even more unhelpful. She claims she trying to help me but that was far from the truth. She became upset because of my Google review and refused to fix my hair. Shows her lack of professionalism and reflects on her incompetence to be a manager. If Miriam truly is one of the best than my hair wouldn't look like this after 10 days! Not once did I go swimming or immerse my hair in water. I also maintained my hair every night by wrapping it up. So the owner is greatly incorrect by accusing me of ruining my own hair. Her apology is over due and her response is worthless. The reason the braids are slipping out is because of the the poor quality of work that was done by Miriam. All I wanted was for them to fix 17 braids that had come out and they couldn't even do that. The owner obviously doesn't care about retaining a customer and she would rather lose a customer than to fix 17 braids. If you were a real owner you would have called me and discussed the matter instead of coming up with pitiful excuses and blaming me. You have the audacity to claim you had to explore the issue before providing answer. ANOTHER LIE , you didn't explore anything. You came up with you own conclusion even after I told you I didn't get my hair wet. First and foremost be a honest person and stop lying to your customers. I recommend you improve on your customer service skills and learn how to be a actual legit owner. Maybe some classes would benefit you in Business Management. FYI You may refer to your local Houston Community College to register for the classes. Right now your a joke and so is your establishment. You should've rectified the situation and simply fix the braids. So you may pretend on Google all you want but the text doesn't lie. I suggest you do better next time for your business sake. Good Day** ORIGINAL POST**I will never come back here! Don’t even waste your time coming here. I'm highly disappointed especially after reading the good reviews. Miriam did my micro braids and she may be nice but the micro braids look horrible! I barely had my micro braids done for 7 days and braids are already coming out. There is no excuse for my braids falling out within a week. Miriam rushed when she did the braids in the middle and the back . So there slipping out. Not only are braids coming out but there different sizes in the middle compared to the front. These aren’t micro braids. When I contact them and let them know my issue and ask if they can fix it , all I get is silence. No reply and no answer when I call. Your quick to take my money but provide poor quality services! You can’t run a business and don’t rectify the situation that you clearly should fix because it’s your fault. if you really want to retain customers.
