Chocolate City Hair Braiding, Pearland TX

I've been coming to Gift for years. Gift is efficient, soft hands and quick. If you are in Pearland please check out Chocolate City Hair Braiding!

Gift is a phenomenal hair braider! Her fast hands are magic if you don’t want to sit in a chair all day long! She’s very personable and will make you laugh. Having my hair braided by Gift has allowed my hair to grow and not break off unlike like other braiders. Gift, thank you for being a gift to me and my hair!

I got long knotless braids and it’s only took 2 hours 30 minutes, all the braids were the same size and very neat parts, the establishment was clean and the workers were super friendly. I am really tender headed but it didn’t hurt at all. Overall amazing place to get braids, I strongly recommend. Run to get your hair done here its worth the money

She’s Awesome Quick and good customer service. Highly recommended. Try them and thank me later

Highly recommended. Boho braids completed in three hours. Gift was amazing again. She is courteous and fast. I love my hair.

So unfortunately I did not have a great experience. I came by Saturday seeking 4 stitch braids. I met Gift in person for my deposit but I noticed she did have an attitude but I was desperate to get my hair done due to previous cancellation.

Fast forward, I was told the stitch braids are $20 per braid. When I got in her chair she told me $150 for 4 stitch braids, but again I was desperate & now it’s evening time.

During my service I did point out to Gift something specific I was looking for and she was bothersome and since I’m an stylist myself I did ask her did she want to proceed or not because she was heavily irritated at this point. She agreed to proceed and when I told her again, hey I don’t want hair added at my edges area she stops and say “ im exhausted Im not doing it anymore” at this point this brought me to tears because I didn’t deserve that plus It could’ve been so simple. Now that she says she doesn’t want to proceed I had to call my ride but her plug outlets in the salon were not working so my phone couldn’t Cut on, she proceeds to rush me out the building saying “ what’s taking me so long to leave” mind you I’m crying and frustrated and waiting for my phone to turn on so I can call someone asap. Somehow in the midst of her waiting on me and cleaning her station, she she steps on my $300 Versace prescribed eye glasses and instantly she knew they were broke and I asked her to reimburse me something so I can get them fixed. She agreed until she called her sister and ultimately wanted to take my glasses with her to get fixed rather than reimbursing me. Now she’s even more frustrated and keep in mind my phone has yet to come on. While I’m begging she atleast reimburse something for these glasses she argues with me and victimized herself by calling the Pearland police. Lied to the police about the situation making it seem like I was causing havoc in her salon when she didn’t want to do my hair and I just needed my phone to cut my on so I can call & wait on my ride.

I would never come back and ultimately that hurt my feelings and I don’t recommend anyone for this establishment.

Bad attitude, price changing and negative vibes in the salon.

I offer services myself and I’m very friendly

Just finished getting my braids in less than 2 hours! Gift's mellow voice and conversation made the time pass swiftly! I will be back!

Chocolate City Braiding did an excellent job on my daughter’s hair! She loved it! The service was amazing and she did goddess braids in 2 hours! The braids was nice and neat! I will be coming back! Thank you! Your hands are truly blessed!

The quality of service was 10/10! She is friendly with a great attitude, the braiding service was neat, fast, and shes so gentle!
Thank you so much!

The best hair braiding in town. Very professional and it don’t take long at all. I’ve been to 5 other braiding salon. This os the best!

Boho box braids.

Braid time was only 2.5 hours. However, after two weeks, great amount of slippage - I’m sure my hair doesn’t grow that fast! I called for a touchup (just the perimeter), sent a photo of the braids, which showed the type and length. Neither one of the braiders could give me a concrete price. Both endorsed STARTING price of $80. If I’m showing you exactly what I want, you should be able to provide a concrete price. It was the exact same instance with the Braids. I showed her a picture of exactly what I want it she endorse it will start at $350. When I arrive to the shop, she quoted a price of $700!

Really like this place and definitely will be back! I got medium Knotless braids and was done in 2 hours! I’ve never had someone braid my hair this fast! 10/10 recommend!

Called at 9 am got in chair at 11 and was done in 1.5 hrs! Fast and great convo definitely booking again!

I'm extremely pleased. Very professional, works very fast. I will recommend my friends a nd family to get their hair braided here. I will be a life long client.
I'm so happy I gave them my business.

Very, happy! Exceptional service…. Very welcoming, more than a hair braiding experience. I will definitely be returning!

Wonderful! Came from Bohemian Knotless, literally 2 hours! We were done! The ladies were very sweet and I felt right at home. Hair is very neat and not extremely tight. Thank you ladies!

Loved the hair! She was so sweet and caring. The fastest braider i have ever been to. And a very nice shop!
