"I went to Malas yesterday for small boho braids with color and length, and let me just say it was 10/10. I recommend forsure. I found videos of their work on TikTok and was sold. I called the number, and she told me I could come right now. That's exactly what I did. Braiding hair was included, and she can even provide Boho curly pieces as well. I asked if I could mix 3 colors for my braids and they executed exactly what I wanted. My hafufir was washed, blow dried, and braided soooo quickly. Maybe 4 hours. If my hair was washed and blow dried before coming it would've been even quicker. I will be back for all my braid services. The braiders were so friendly and just beautiful inside and out. I had 3 braiders at one time. lastly, the chairs were so comfortable. they were so big and plush which is a plus for a braid service. Check them out, and check out my TikTok for a video @briana_alaine"

"it was easy they washed my hair and everything they blow dry good and also it was easy it was busy it was walk in the braids are cute how i want them exactly the pic 10/10"

"I really enjoyed my service at Malas! Mala and the ladies were all very welcoming and friendly. I like that they can custom mix the braiding hair to help you achieve your desired look. They also don’t mind collaborating with you on ideas for styles/colors. They were quick and efficient and got me in and out in a timely manner. I got boho knotless and my hair turned out beautiful! Thank you ladies for an amazing service! If you are looking to get braids give Malas a try! You won’t be disappointed!"

"There's a great job on my hair every time I go. Does not take Mala long to finish. My crochet is always on point"

"So I went in for take down and braiding for Goddess braids and the ladies did an amazing job. The vibe in there 😌 was so calming and welcoming! They were all so nice and the one lady was so careful with my edges as I asked her to be and she took extra caution and went through the braids after we were done to style my baby hair. Made me feel beautiful PERIOD. 🥰🥰🥰🥰"

"My visit was a my 1st time. Based upon their website I was expecting a nicer looking facility. The inside looked and felt unclean. Not sure the floor had been swept and definitely not mopped in a while. My appointment was at 7 am. First in the shop with my braided. As she entered and turned on the lights a few creepy crawlers were making they way across the room. I was there already so I took my seat and kept my feet up on the chair's foot rest. The staff was very nice . I really like the work my braided did. I got medium box braids and she styled me right. She was very fast. My braids were on point, looked fresh and polished. Were very tight. I think I'll go back knowing I have to be on the lookout for bugs. It might have been a onetime thing."

"The owner was very friendly. Her staff was friendly and quite nice if you ask me. They spoke English and their language but never once made me feel uncomfortable ❤️ Mala became extremely busy early and immediately she and her staff went to their phones to get more stylists. I totally recommend them!"

"My name is VEE and my sister and I went to this business and had the most wonderful experience!! I will continue to go there the staff in MA LA was awesome felt like family. I will tell all of Columbus Ohio if I could to go to this business"

"I’ve been coming to Mala Braiding for almost a year. I just had a big chop and wanted to have a weave installed. Mala was super accommodating and was able to work with my super short hair, no pulling, no headaches. Needless to say, I’ll recommend her 100%. Mala, thanks for your awesome service."

"I have come to Mala many times and she always deliver. You will pay a little more $ than average house prices. But she do run a business and she is fast and accommodating. I get raving compliments on my hair up until I take them out. My daughter and are a very pleased to have her talent near our home."

"Just got my hair done! Drove in from WV and it was definitely worth it. Mala is so nice and professional and does a great job!!! I love my hair!"

"Perfection. My first set of box braid since I was 8 years old and they turned out amazing! I came on limited time and they made magic happen way before the time for my next appt for the day. They worked hard for me and are healthy perfectionists. They made sure that my braids were “clean” to their liking before I left. Very professional. Found my new shop!!! Will be back ladies!"

"Recently did big chop, only had about 3 inches of hair and they were able to install really neat micro braids with little hair to work with, I'd say I got my money's worth for sure. Efficient, polite for the most part and would go back. - D"

"There are A LOT of braiding shops out there, thru the years I have been to quite a few, usually just ONE time, never a repeat customer. Unique, I went maybe three times only because I was close to being 100% satisfied, but the third time..well my hair was horrible! Based on the reviews for MALA I found her shop. I had recently paid 125 at Anointed at Eastland Mall, owner said she specialized in people with Alopecia, the only thing she specializes in is taking people money. My "weave"lasted less than two weeks( she slicked my hair down with gel..put a cap on it AND then wrapped my whole head with "edge" paper and then proceeded to sew the hair onto the paper) and the not-anointed owner did not want to make it right--well, MALA is the real deal. My hair is alopecia in one spot and bout an inch everywhere else...she truly has anointed fingers..the braiding and sew in is perfect...not feeling any distress or tightness. Like the review I read who stated her hair was short --it is 100, Mala is the best! Wish I had found her 1 month ago, I would have more dollars in my pocket. Continued success Mala African Hair Braiding!"

"Mala is extremely fast, professional,sweet, and a great communicator! She did a great job with my 9 year old the day before school started. Exactly what we asked for and not to tight..Thank you again Mala!"

"Got my hair done today and I was very impressed. I got crochet braids and it took less than 2 hours to get them done. The last place I went to took 4. She did an excellent job! It's not braided to tight and she checked in with me during the process. It was my first time going and it won't be my last. Very happy customer!"

"Very nice and accomodating! My braids were done just the way I like them! She was very considerate of the braid tightness as well as upfront about pricing."

"Thank You MALA!! She is great, I recommend her to everyone! She loves what she does and she takes her time but she’s quick as well! I never leave unhappy!! Great customer service, very sweet, and is all about her clients and whatever makes them happy!!! She has gained me as a Lifetime client!!"

"Extremely beautiful & fast work. I feel so regal. My hair is bomb. Mala got us out here looking like Nubian Queens. Go to Mala's 😊 …"

"great customer service! no complaints. they are very caring and makes sure you love your hair as they continue. very professional. recommend this hair salon to everyone. hair is beautifully done."

"I had a great experience here at Mala Hair Braiding. I told her I was badly tender headed. And she braided my hair without hurting me as much. She’s really fast got me in and out in about 4 hours. I recommend her to other people and I’ll be back myself!! Thank you Mala"

"Ok, so let me start off by saying Mala is AMAZING!! My hair is about an inch on the top and less than an inch on the sides. She was able to braid my hair (micro braids) and they did not hurt when she was done! She was very honest when I met her. She stated that they may not last 8 weeks, because my hair was so short, but that they would be very nice once she got done. I am a very picky person and I'm very hard to please. I will not go to anyone else to braid my hair. I 110% recommend Mala to braid your hair. You will not be disappointed."
