Clean, prompt service, excellent results, lots of products available

Jennifer Hubert

Great quality hair service. Owners are personable, nice, and confident in their capabilities. I usually retwist my own locs, but this is the only place I trust when I want to get my hair done in Tallahassee. They are knowledgeable about scalp conditions and they can have your locs in any style of your choice without over tightening. Highly recommend.

Tasha Z.

I was a client for this salon for many years. They are the reason my hair has grown and stayed healthy. They are creative, knowledgeable and genuine.

Victoria Williams

I am a fairly new client. I love Mandisa Ngozi salon! Valencia is personable, a great stylist, and the prices are reasonable. I also love the hair products! I would love to have gone sooner. However, I am a client for life! I would highly recommend Mandisa Ngozi for your hair care needs.

Gale May

My experience was warm and heart felt. The gallery is magnificent. I would recommend you stop by the gallery to see for yourself the beauty of it al

Cetta Barnhart

I love this place. They took good care of me as I grew out my natural hair and embrace my Afro. I’m not done on my hair journey. And although I’m “blonde” now, having fun with it. I’ll get back to starting my loc hair journey soon.

Greatful for the artistry of Mandisa Ngozi Art and Braiding Gallery. Definitely one to include in these celebratory black history archives.
