We did a lot of research to find the best place for our daughter’s first braids. Fanta had amazing reviews and we were not disappointed. First braids are a rite of passage. Our 6 year old was surrounded by a swarm of warm, friendly, chatting, laughing women. Clients and friends came and went when we were there- all giving hugs and kisses. Some of the braiders kids came by. It felt like a community hub. My daughter picked a pink and blue and a style fitting a 6 year old: lemonade braids swept to the side. Her braider did not speak much English, but my daughter absolutely loved her and said she was so so kind. She gave her a kiss on the cheek at the end, and all of the stylists wished her well on the way out. It was fantastic experience and I highly recommend Fanta. PS - she must have been gentle because she didn't cry.
