been in business for 24 yrs. Our 1st language is BABARA, our 2nd language is FRENCH, our 3rd is ENGLISH.Because of our dialect, when we communicate with our customers who ONLY speak English, sometimes the language barrier can be challenging in relation to: understanding a certain request for a hairstyle, or when it is time to discuss your payment transactions. When myself and my staff are talking, we feel most comfortable communicating in our 1st language of BABARA or FRENCH. This communication is strictly for discussing topics such as our homeland country or our personal life.In NO WAY would be ever disrespect our customers using our language covertly. We do not represent DISRESPECT

I haven’t been here in years, my last experience with them was when I asked for blue Senegalese twists like 3 years ago and it wasn’t the greatest, but overall I know they do good work. That was just one bad experience out of the many good ones that I’ve had with them. I will be back soon for butterfly locs over my real locs ❤️Service: Braids

Hello, I would like to say Askia Hair Braiding, in Oak Park, is awesome. The reason I now is because I’ve been getting my hair braid, twisted, basket weaved etc.. since 2004. The owner, is such a nice and friendly person that she feels like family. I remember 1st day I came to the shop, her little boy was there and she was pregnant with her1st daughter and now, her son has graduated from college which shows dedication & loyalty in good quality of work. Askia hair braiding shows consideration and caring to their customers hair needs. They are very professional and I would truly recommend to give them a try and see for yourself.Services: Hair threading

Askia is one of the best in town. They take less time to braid. Long box braid is less then 6 hours at their place my hair was short when I first started going to them but now it has grow. The braid are painless compared to other places I have been to. I have a good experience every time I Visited. My family members always visit theirServices: Hair threading

I was just there and my appointment was set for 8 I was running behind and communicated with them that I would be there by 8:30 but due to traffic (considering I live in Cicero) I made it late I get there my daughter is instantly in the chair. The owner proceeds to speak in her native tongue negatively about me. I knew she was talking about me because I’m the only one in the shop getting crochet braids done for my daughter. That was strike one. Her hair was finished and although I did not like the front part of her hair because she added too much extra hair the style looked nothing like the picture I paid for it because my daughter birthday is coming up and this was last minute. And even though her (the owner) attitude was very unprofessional I still tipped the braider in lack of me being late. But I will not be coming back to this shop this the first time in the last two years I have been coming here I felt completely disrespected. I felt she rushed my daughter hair just to get her out the chair. I had to cut some of the crochet braids in the front because she had them crossed and all on top of each other in the front. If I’m spending money with you do the job right! Don’t be disrespectful or speak negatively about people who make sure your business doors stay open.

I made an appointment to get my hair done in twist, around the time the woman doing my hair was close to done(only had 5 or 6 more twists left to do.) she decides to go back in and cut 2 of the twist that were all ready completed for no reason, the twist were a little longer that shoulder length, she cut the the twist so close to my head that I knew she cut my real hair because I knew how long it was before I walked to that braid shop, I also was able to pull the hair that was cut to see that I had been and sure enough it was uneven. After re-twisting the hair the woman started pulling my head she wanted (instead of lowering the chair I was sitting in & or standing up) to finish my hair. She treated me as a customer very badly and charged me almost $200 for the style.I wouldn’t recommend this place anymore and I caution you other thinking about that choice.Services: Hair extensions

I have been going to this shop for about 3-4 years. Their work is great. Askia is very accommodating and polite. She checks with you often to make sure you like the style.

I do not like the way they braid hair. I took my daughter to get a braided ponytail and it lasted for about a week. The braids were fuzzy and they didn’t boil the ends. No gel was used to sleek it down…nothing! I took her there again because my other braider canceled on me and I literally had no other choice. She got braids straight back, and same thing! No gel was used throughout the braiding process no dipping the ends and this time after 3 days the braids are starting to look fuzzy. Braids aren’t neat at all. I would probably go there for simple styles but I wouldn’t recommend them for anything special

The style was nothing like the picture. My picture was small box braids mid way down my back and instead I got fat box braids passed my butt. The braids wasn’t even neat. The bad part was someone else was in there complaining the braids they got was not what they wanted either. The stylist had to take her braids all down and redo it the same day. This was just not what I expected at all.Service: Hair extensions

I booked my appointment 2 weeks in advance for a Saturday 8am and then the night before she Changed it to 11 am which was a big inconvenience but I agreed then when I finally get There she had someone in her chair for another 40 minutes and then when I finally get in the chair after her only completing a few Twist she began to go through her appointment book like she didn't already have a customer in the chair and my time wasn't valuable enough to be acknowledged especially when I was already inconvenienced due to appointment time change and then to not even have a good portion completed before she was trying to get to the next appointment and then when I addressed the issue of all around customer service she had the nerve to state an and acknowledged that I had to address the same issue with her the last time which is terrible that I'm having this issue again having to experience poor non professional behavior from a business owner and then when it came to her being called on her unprofessionallism she told me I can't make her work like that like she was right about something and said she didn't want to do business with me wow .I really hope no one has to experience this and to avoid I wouldn't advise or suggest this Askia hair braiding shop

Not good at all. I presented a picture of how I wanted my hair and said I wanted small box braids mid way down my back. What I got was some fat, spacey box braids passed my butt. This was not what I wanted at all and the lady tried to charge me even more than I was told talking about I got 250 braids but I didn't want 250 braids. I wanted 200 braids mid way down my back not passed my butt. I will never go here again. I will not recommend this place for individual braids at all.
