Wonderful experience for my first appointment with Anita yesterday The salon is welcoming and peaceful. During our initial consultation a few weeks prior, she told me what styles would work best for my texture, and she was right. I love my natural coils. Anita also educates on the dos and don'ts and how to care for my hair. I have found my new hair home.

This was my first time in this salon. I have a friend that told me to try B.A.D Braids and Dreds and the experience was so good. The way that they handled my locs was great and I will be back. I have already scheduled my next appointment. Thank you all for the great customer service!!

I am a loyal customer of Braids and Dreds. Braids and Dreds set the bar for high standards for the natural hair industry. One of the reasons that I have remained loyal to Braids And Dreds is, because they care about the health of the hair and I can tell you that based on my personal experience. The stylist are professional and talented. Thanks Braid and Dreds for all that you do.

I love my locs. Just started my journey and they have been fantastic. Very pleased with them and I’ll be recommending them to anyone I know looking for natural hair care. They’re very knowledgeable. They are the best natural hair salon I’ve been to so far and I’ve been to several different stylists over the course of my natural hair care journey. I highly recommend them if for all their natural hair and locs needs.

I had an amazing experience here! The environment felt like home and Ms. Anita is incredibly knowledgeable. She took her time assessing my hair as well as explaining what I needed to do for my hair to flourish. You can tell that she not only loves what she does, but is also a master at what she does. I am beyond happy that I decided to start my microloc journey with her. Thanks Ms. Anita!

First time going and even though I got just a scalp massage I think it’s one of the best natural hair salons I’ve been to in a long time. My scalp feels like it can breathe now . Also got a lot of advice from the hairstylist learning about new things, also enjoy that they use 100% natural products that they’ve done lots of research and put care into! very relaxing and open salon made feel at home!

If I could give a higher rating I would. Wonderful wonderful experience for the last 25 plus years. Braids and Dreads is so customer conscious that they continue to enforce COVID guidelines of masking, hand washing, execute fairly no additional guest policy accompanying the client being served and I so appreciate their genuine concern to keep me safe, and any love ones left at home. The staff and owner exemplify professionalism, they are experts and masters in their field, knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. And serve in a spirit of excellence. The treatment is phenomenal!! Rev. Rose Wright-Scott

Anita and her staff are the best, and the atmosphere is always fresh and reviving with a touch of harmony from everyone. These locticians are well experienced, on all hair types and the products and loc techniques she uses has my hair healthier than it has ever been. BAD deserves a six star rating.

My situation was crazy I was basically told that there is a stylist that worked at this salon. The lady asked me to send a deposit for hair. I did the day of my appointment I asked the owner if the lady worked there it was a scammer! So I tell the owner I was scammed the owner made an exception and got me and stylist to do the style I wanted. They were booked even stayed extra late I cried! She did not have to do that! So greatful! Definitely recommend this salon but go directly to the site or call don’t book any other way!

My experience with B.A.D Braids and Dread was wonderful I have always wanted Micro Locks. Jay La took her time made me feel welcome took her time, she had explained everything to me through out the process. On what to expect throughout my journey growing my locks. When I left the shop I felt like a new person. When Anita came into the shop her energy was on point with her customers. A client for life ❤️❤️❤️👍👍

This was one of the best experiences I had in a long time. I always feel frazzled after leaving the hair salon. But this time, I did not. My braids came out beautiful and was not too tight. I am very happy with the services that I received. I am definitely going to use them again. Very professional

Anita is truly an amazing legend. She's professional polite and most importantly, she's beyond experienced in natural hair care. She's extremely passionate and as a client in every touch of my hair she makes it shows. She uses top of the line products and has been in business for over 20+years. She has also previously staffed and trained several small locally owned business owners as well as professional workers in the cosmetology field in the city of Richmond and surrounding areas. This is the place to go if your looking for someone who cares about obtaining and maintaining your natural hair and reaching your hair goals. I highly recommend her and B.A.D natural hair care studio.

I have visited B.A.D. many times over the years, however this is my first time leaving a public review. I have always found the services and atmosphere to be professional and friendly. I have experienced more than just having my locs maintained and styled, I have over the years received healthy hair care knowledge. I highly recommend B.A.D. for consultation, hair care products and maintenance.
Toni B.
B.A.D is the best! Anita has been taking care of my Locs for several years now. I get compliments on my Locs all the time, and it is because B.A.D. knows natural hair. Stylists are available when I need them. B.A.D. also provides quality products to help me maintain my Locs between appointments.

Today I started my microlocs with Jayla. And I am very pleased with my microlocs. And I definitely will be coming back to keep my locs beautiful and healthy.

My natural hair is becoming stronger and healthier every day as we work on retoring my hair to a healthy state, all thanks to the product line provided at B.A.D. Braids and Dreds. If you want healthy hair, then you need to make an appointment for a consultation and start your treatment plan. 😊 …

I was so pleased to find a natural hair salon in Chesterfield County and in Moseley, VA even! 2 daughters got braids and my third daughter got loc maintenance. Their hair was beautifully done, especially the loc maintenance. The stylist I went to is no longer there, but I'm gladly looking forward to starting my first locs with on of the B.A.D. stylists.
Te'Aira T.
Janay did a great job on my medium micro locs. I’ve also received services in the past from Jayla, who is also a top-notch service provider!

My starter locs journey has been so exciting.
I am loving it ! I am so glad I was recommended to this salon. I have no complaints at all and the people are so welcoming 🥰💯 …
Jazz.
Excellent place to get ethnic hair done in so many styles... including dread locs. Pricing is very competitive plus they have a unique thing going on where you get "free" touch ups to your style every couple of weeks. I mean, who does that? Awesome deal.
Ncognito D.
The staff is so welcoming, talented and professional. Have been going to this salon for years now and have never been disappointed.
Vacinia Z.
I brought my Granddaughter here to get her hair braided for school and her stylist did an excellent job, after comparing prices and reading various reviews I decided on B.A.D Braids.For the price you get follow-up Maintenance at No charge! My Granddaughter loves her braids!
