| - Great experience with Elom! Since I have an upcoming trip planned for New Orleans (where all of the humidity lives), I decided that braids would be the best way for me to avoid the hot mess, frizz express in dealing with my own hair. I'd seen a rave about Elom from someone on another social media channel and then when I looked up Elom on Yelp, I saw that Candyce B and Bianka M both had raves for Elom, so I knew I had to go there!
I stopped in the week before I wanted my hair braided just to see how the shop looked and to get a feel of where it was in location to my house. I spoke with a young girl and made my appointment for the following week. I showed her the style I was interested in and asked about price. The day of my appointment, I walked right to a chair. My appointment was for 10 a.m. and I arrived a few minutes before. There were already two other girls in the shop getting their hair braided. To note: the shop opens at 7 a.m. and they provide hair.
I decided to get a goddess braids style because I didn't want that many braids in my hair and I didn't want to sit that long for my 'do. I was out of the shop a few minutes before 11 a.m. It was a breeze! Although I must admit, I forgot how tight fresh braids are the first few days of having them done.
Don't bother asking how much a style is before it's completed because, chances are, it's going to change. A week ago, I asked the young girl about pricing and she told me $50. Once I was done, the woman who did my hair, charged me $30. Not complaining but you can tell there's no consistency nor rhyme or reason to their pricing.
I highly recommend Elom's and I will be back for other protective styles!
