Braids By Darlene, Union City CA

A true professional. Her work is superb and clean. The environment is also clean with great space for parking. All at a reasonable price.

This place was so clean and friendly staff. Ms. Darlene did a great job on my hair and even suggested hair design for a next time trip. I’ll definitely recommend this place to friends and family… Mae Aglubat

第一次做dreads，朋友推荐来的。Ms. Darlene做的真的很好，人也很nice。做之前从效果、style、需要的准备（比如之后三周只能用dry shampoo 洗头）等等方面都给我讲的非常详细，同时还了解了很多dreads背后的历史文化背景。之后打理修剪肯定会继续找她做。中国人的直发本身比卷发难做很多，其他地方我也没去过但如果想做dreads的话找她没错

My friend recommended Ms. Darlene to me. This is my first time to do dread locks. I’m Chinese with straight hair, it’s hard to lock but Ms. Darlene is really professional. She handled them well and the dreads look really nice. She is also a really nice person. She explained all details I need to know, what I should expect and to be prepared. I also learned the culture and history behind dreads. It was a great experience and great outcome to do the dreads with her. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends.

Darlene does beautiful braids! My daughter’s box braids are exactly like the model she wanted. Professional hair care!

I found Braids by Darlene by an internet search - I especially was looking for someone/someplace that braided a lot of men's/boy's hair since it was my teen son who wanted braids. I saw many photos of both men and women so that sealed my choice. Darlene communicated quickly and clearly with me and set up my son's appointment with Angela. Upon talking with my son and seeing a photo of what he wanted, Angela was able to do exactly what my son wanted. His experience in the shop also went well. I highly recommend Braids by Darlene!

I got my crochet braids done by Ms. Darlene on the June 29th and I fell in love! She did an amazing job on my hair and I was not dissatisfied. She’s did it under 3 hrs and was really gentle and caring for my hair. She made sure I was content, happy and she was patient through it all. We had a great conversation while I was there also and she’s the sweetest most caring person to get your hair done by. It’s been almost a week and it still looks like it was done yesterday! I’ve gotten so many compliments on them and I highly recommend her services! The inside was beautiful and spacious as well. It was worth every penny! I will for sure be coming back in a few months.

Very clean inside and staff is very friendly! Has a convenient bathroom inside and tv to watch while you’re waiting️ braids done by angela-amazing! Will be coming back

I had a hair style done a few times couldn't never seen to get it right or the stylist was to rough but I tried her today and her hands where like heave n she nailed the style I wanted without me telling her thanks love I'll be coming back soon

Darlene did twist for my hair and did an incredible job! Will go to her again at the end of February! 10/10 recommended!

Ms. Darlene is fantastic! She is good at what she does and she is fast. Her shop is cute and clean. Her and her staff are professional and nice. I highly recommend her services to everyone, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Ms. Darlene I love my hair.

I grew out my hair for years but never did I get it braided. I had a friend who told me that I should look into getting braids. So I did and came across Ms D. And I only wish I'd gotten them done sooner. She did an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with the results. If anyone is trying to get box braids done they should come to her because she's great. Thank you Ms D for always being so kind and attentive to detail. I will most definitely be back again.

Ms. Darlene is a master at braiding. She is very meticulous and experienced. I love.love.love my hair. Thank you Ms. Darlene.

Braids by Darlene has been a great experience. Professional, knowledgeable, and the services are numerous. Ms. Darlene's has seen me through my cornrows, braids and now loc journey for so long, they feel like family.

Great experience! After describing the style I wanted and my hair issues, Ms. Darlene asked me to come in for a consultation. I did and made an appt. Salon was clean and Ms. Darlene made me feel right at home. She also did a wonderful job on my hair! I haven't had my hair braided in over 10+ years. It looks beautiful! I received so many compliments. I will definitely be back!

Darlene made it so easy to schedule braids with her. Quick and easy to talk to. She runs a nice, bright shop and makes great convo. Looking forward to going back.

Can you even believe this before and after was achieved with one days notice and 5 short hours of hard work? Darlene is getting all of the applause from our family!

I called the day prior to my appointment and told her I was visiting the area for two weeks and needed her assistance ASAP. She booked me an opening (7 hour slot) for the very next day and it was an easy drive of just 56 minutes from Morgan Hill to her location.

Darlene’s skill and master loctician knowledge was exactly the expertise I was looking for. Her kindness was the cherry on top! Oh, and she finished two hours early!

I was very comfortable the whole time and we enjoyed some deep and positive conversations all while enjoying some stand up comedy and then a movie.

This was just the medicine this momma was craving! Darlene took my 4 month old messy dreads (I think you can spot the photo) and turned them into a dreadlock masterpiece (multiple photos).

Thank you, thank you, thank you Darlene! *Parking lot was a major bonus.

Loved my braids! Angela did such a good job on my hair I was more than pleased. She listened to what I wanted, consulted me and my hair looked great! More than two weeks later and I am still getting comments daily about my hair. Also the owner Darlene is amazing too! Thank you!
