    • Charis D. ★★★★★ I booked Dammy short notice for some Afro-Boho braids to ring in the new year. She not only delivered on the look I wanted, but the braids are also very light weight considering how voluminous my hair turned out. So grateful that I found her. I used 200grams of Burmese Curl hair, instead of Pixie Curl for a looser curl pattern, 18 inches. Sooo pretty and full! I also got a full set and pedicure while there. All of my beauty needs done in one place at the same time!
    • Faith E ★★★★★ Dammy and her team did an amazing job on such short notice, great communication. I got french curl braids and it turned out beautifully. When anything came up she was respomsice. Next time that I'm visiting Nigeria I'll be booking Dammy right away. She's located in the Deen's salon!

    • B.B ★★★★ The ladies who did my braids were great and the WhatsApp customer service was wonderful. Minus one star cos paying was a pain. After my service was done, I attempted to pay cash and was told they don'
    • Smile o ★★★★ Second visit: I came back in January and got the same style. Honestly the hair was terrible this time :/ I had to keep asking them to redo things because I didn’t like it. When they finally finished, I hated the result. Braids in the back are bigger than the ones in the front, it’s not actually knotless like I requested, the way they braided some of the bases have made them start bending/curving instead of going straight out and down my back. It’s just a mess. Unfortunately it seems like they’ve had a change of staff or something, so it’s kind of amateur hour now. I will not be going back. First visit: My experience at the braiding vault was absolutely top notch. The customer service was honestly the best I’ve had in any establishment in Nigeria. The girls were so kind. The price felt incredibly reasonable for the service I was receiving. I will definitely be coming back!

    • Anuoluwapo B. ★★★★★ The salon was well staffed but there was an obvious difference in the skill level of the staff. I had multiple staff trying to part my hair and was surprised the owner of the salon did not intervene or help out like she did for other customers but I believe it was because they are regulars and I was a first time client. I went in for knotless braids but got a mixture of knotless and traditional braids, which is very obvious at the front of my hair. For a 30,000 charge, I expected better. More hands means more speed but consistent quality would be more ideal. They handled my natural hair well by detangling before washing, so that’s a plus from me.
    • Tinuke ★★★★★ Lovely French Tip nails done by Chibuzo. Amazing service and great conversation! Will definitely be back! 😉
