Best Hair Braiding near me in Bedford, New York

It was my first visit and it was lovely. I love my hair, I love the staff, I love my stylist (Lauren), I love the way the products smell, I love the way everything looks inside, I love their organization and the way they handle business. If I wasn't moving next month, this would be my permanent salon, but unfortunately I'm leaving New York. :(

great experience - wash, cut, and knotless french curl braids by naomi — so gorg

Mar 7, 2026

I had such a great experience with Jahlena! My haircut came out excellent, and she really took the time to explain what I need to do to get my hair back healthy and strong again. She educated me on how often I should come in for trims and gave honest, helpful advice about maintaining my hair properly. Her vibe was so friendly, welcoming, and professional, and she made me feel completely comfortable throughout the appointment. I truly appreciated how knowledgeable and caring she was. I’ll definitely be taking her advice and giving braids a break for a while so my hair can regain its strength.

She was great. I will definitely return. My hair was in bad shape after braids and she gave me a nice cut and style that I'm comfortable with. Extremely patient. I didn't really know what I wanted, but she gave me the perfect style that looks good on me.

Raven truly exceeded my expectations with my daughter's Crochet braids! Everywhere we go, she's receiving compliments, which has really elevated her confidence. It's heartwarming to see her so happy. Best believe we will be returning for future styles!

Loved my time with Liv! I had just taken out my braids and needed a good deep conditioner, silk press, and trim. She took great care with my hair. The silk press came out perfectly straight and smooth, and she was friendly and professional throughout the entire appointment. She even gave me tips for maintaining the style. Can't wait for my next appointment.

Melissa is absolutely amazing!!!! I removed my braids after only having them in for a month- between the braids and having gone without a trim for an extended amount, my hair was in horrible shape. Melissa could have chosen to simply rake through my hair, instead she was gentle and thorough and truly took her time. I learned so much about my hair during my first visit with her. I’ll definitely be back three months from now for my trim. I highly recommend Melissa and have nothing but great things to say about my first visit to the salon.

Monique was so sweet! My daughter loved her and found her very welcoming. I would recommend this hair salon to anyone who asked for a good, Black-owned hair salon.

From the moment I arrived Jahlena was extremely welcoming. She did an in depth consultation with me about what I wanted and what my expectations should be. In the end she's came up with an amazing color! Exactly what I was thinking. You can tell she knows what's she's talking about! The appointment felt comfortable and was entertaining. Sooooo happy I found the salon and I'm excited to be back

Desirèe exceeded all of my expectations today! I am still in awe of how beautiful my hair looks. I am so happy I trusted her with my transformation. From start to finish, Desirèe took her time, listened to my concerns, and was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire appointment. Her attention to detail and care truly made the experience exceptional. Thank you, Desirèe, for helping me feel so confident and beautiful. I look forward to coming back and seeing you again!

I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences at Four Forty Salon and Suites. They never disappoint! This is my go-to salon in Brooklyn because I can get multiple beauty services all in one place. The atmosphere is clean, professional, and welcoming, and the providers truly care about their clients. Every visit leaves me feeling confident and well taken care of. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality service and talented beauty professionals!

Mariah was the sweetest! She was very patient, gentle, and paid attention to detail! Will definitely be back again for my next trim!

May 29, 2026

It was a great experience! This was my first time visiting the shop and the customer service was 10/10 — at the end of my appointment, I left the chair informed and satisfied. It’s been a few days since my appointment and the on/off weather in NY, my hair is still intact and shiny. Thank you so much!!!

I loved how the hair turned out

Raven serviced knotless braids for my daughter today. She is/was very professional. She is a great stylist and her energy warms up the whole salon. She was all around great!! I WILL DEFINITELY BOOK HER AGAIN. THE SALON IS VERY CHIC.

I've NEVER written a review in my life. No cap. But Desiree's work at The Way inspired my first. My daughter's hair was always this dry, clumpy mop that took stylists 10+ hours to braid—most visits took two days. Our first visit to The Way? A haircut and 2½ hours later, we finally got to celebrate her natural curly hair. Curls just popping and locking. Beautiful. For parents with mixed kids struggling with their children's hair—this place should be shortlisted. Highly recommended and will definitely return. Thanks, Desiree and The Way!

I like to book with Mariah whenever I can! I still remember the amazing trim and silk press she gave me earlier this year! She does great simple styles as well, like a wig braid down.

Desiree is amazing. Excellent color and haircut.

My experience with Kat is excellent as always. Kat is personable and always professional. She is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about her clients' needs. This is her vocation. I live in the Bronx and travel to Brooklyn just for Kat to take care of my tresses. Enough said!

Mariah is such a sweetheart and she caters to exactly what you need. You wish I would’ve told her to take a quick snap shot of my hair but it’s pinned up now. Definitely recommend ❤️

My first time at this salon and I went with Joselin and I will be returning for a silk press and trim with her. She did an excellent job with my thick 4c hair. Love it!!!
