LET’s talk with o’s braiding boutique-2021 

Best LOW MAINTENANCE BRAID STYLES

Octivea Aug 2021

Hi everyone! Welcome to O’s Braiding Boutique- Let’s Talks page. I just want to let everyone know that I appreciate your love in support on my small business at O’s Braiding Boutique. I will continue to improve my brand with doing different braiding techniques from using a variety of styles to make you feel beautiful. My goals are to continue to create hair designs to fit your unique personality and create a design that is long lasting for all low maintenance braid styles.

Just wrap your braided hair!

It sounds easy right! Just wrap your braided hair and, you will be able to have your hair lasting long and looking good while needing little to no maintenance. This can save you a lot of money in the long run from needing your hair to be frequently done. At a minimum you will just need to keep your hair wrapped at night with a scarf, bonnet, or due rag. Just want to state that I love braiding hair because its my passion and I also enjoy the conversation and stories that I get when I am with my clients.

  1. I absolutely LOVE MY BRAIDS!!! I felt beautiful after my braid session. I was surprised because my hair wasn’t tight on my head, I didn’t have any headaches, my scalp felt amazing. She did a treatment for my braids afterwards. I highly recommend her to everyone because she makes sure your hair not only looks great, but it’s well treated and taken care of. 💯

    I love Mrs. Miller. My appointment with her was amazing. Not only is she super professional, but her home is beautiful, clean and comfy and she is a fast braided. Mrs. Miller is a joy and her services are fast and convenient. My braids look great! I was very impressed with her skills and the quality of the service. She definitely goes the extra mile to provide a luxurious experience for her clients. She provides the hair, uses high quality products, and treats your hair with an oil treatment and heat cap at the end of your appointment. I’ve never had a braider be that attentive to my braids! I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

  13. This was my first time getting my hair braided by Octivea and she did an amazing job! My braids look so beautiful and they aren’t tight or heavy at all. I can tell she is passionate about braiding and puts in a lot of effort in creating a comfortable and clean environment for her clients. She is very professional, kind, and efficient. I would highly recommend getting your hair done with Octivea. I love my braids so much!

    I had such a great experience at O’s Braiding Boutique, and will definitely be back again!

  14. First off here work speaks for itself. I seen someone a crossed the room and had to get her information. I get there it’s clean, she’s professional and she is fast. Oh and I love how she takes your hair and scalp. Location is easy to find, great parking. I will be returning!

  15. Hi everyone! I was very indecisive about about making the decision to start my journey with growing my hair back due to life challenges losing my mother at the same time getting a divorce I suffered with stress and 80% of my hair fell out. I’ve watch Octavia O’s braiding through the years styling own her hair and along with others and boy she did amazingly. I finally called her to set up the appointment and words cannot even expressed how she blessed me with an Amazing and professional sew-in, she was very fast and the environment was very pleasant, such a beautiful home, she was very professional the entire time and I was so comfortable. Now here I am two and half months later with so much new growth already! my sew- in Still look like I just had it done! My self esteem truly have been lifted because of the haircare and attention she presented and performed. I would never go anywhere else I am so satisfied with O’s braiding boutique! Who takes pride in all they do!!! Truly she has a gift and skill from above caring for women who’s been broken in their spirit from losing their hair. Surely she’s perfecting it as well. She makes you feel good by speaking life filling you up with encouragement. Not only is she my hair stylist but she’s my friend and sister. Thank you O’s braiding boutique!

  16. Octivea is an ARTIST of Hair and totally transformed my hair into a masterpiece. I got into her chair as an ugly duckling and emerged as a beautiful swan! Octivea I feel like a QUEEN 👸🏽 and I am having fun taking lots of selfies of my new look😜🤣🥰
    Octivea I can’t wait to return and see what future wonders you create with my hair! Btw my husband & sons LOVE my new look!!

    1. LOL… Thank you! I am grateful that you feel that way about me doing your hair. This is why I continue to do my best with every hairstyle that I do. I will continue to work hard to make everyone feel beautiful when they leave my hair salon. It was great having you and look forward to seeing you again.

  17. I got a wonderful hairstyle and a new friend. Quality work an A1 customer service. Octavia was professional, fast and good. I am very tender-headed and will stop someone if they are hurting my head, but not only did my head not hurt I slept easy that night. I highly recommend her and will be going there for years to come.

  18. Where do I begin!!! First of all, to give you a little background I have ALWAYS gone to African shops to get my hair braided because of my military career. I have since retired and I was in need of my hair braided due to starting a new job as an Executive Assistant the next day! I didn’t want to have to deal with my own natural hair plus I am a runner, cyclist and weight lifter so low maintenance is key for me. I found Octivea on google and saw that she was in my town which was an added bonus. After one failed attempt to see her (my fault – no fault of hers) I finally sat in her chair. I was nervous..lol The minute I sat down I knew it was going to be a good time! She is so personable and I loved every minute of our conversations, the stories and the laughs! I felt right at home! I normally wear my AirPods to listen to music but not one time did I put them in my ear. She had soulful music on at the perfect volume and there were silent moments at times when she was working those hands..but it was calming and so relaxing. And let’s talk about my hair…beautiful mid-back knotless braids…PAINLESS free. I am overall impressed with her work, her spirit and her KINDNESS. I can’t wait to get back in her chair because I know I will be well taken care of and in good hands! Oh and her boutique is clean and beautiful!

    1. Thank you for choosing my braiding salon and thank you for your kind words. I enjoyed every minute that we had together while I was braiding your hair. I hope that I earned you as a recurring customer, please come back again.

  19. Oh my goodness lol. Where do I even start. Mrs. Miller was pleasant & polite from the first initial phone call. She was down to earth. I asked about the service I wanted. The service was provided. I was given a price quote & that was that. I wasn’t ask about my hair. I wasn’t asked about the thickness & length. I wasn’t ask to come into the shop prior to my appointment or to take pictures of my hair. I wasn’t asked to make an outrageous deposit to secure my seat. My appointment was confirmed the day before. I was even told the demographics in case I got a little lost.
    Mrs. Miller greeted me @ the door with a smile. The atmosphere was amazing. We talked, laughed, joked & listen to music. It was like I was with family or my best friend. I recieved many unexpected compliments. I was not uncomfortable or in pain during the install of my braids. Mrs. Miller took her time and made sure I was satisfied with each and every step. I was even shown the products used. I no longer have to look for a place to go. I recommend Mrs. Miller to everyone. I promise you will never look beyond her. Mrs. Miller is an Angel in disguse. God is always right on time and he placed Mrs. Miller in my life @ the perfect moment & time. I was even texted to make sure I made it safely home because I drove a distance. Mrs. Miller words can’t express how thankful I am to have found and met you.
    Sincerely,
    Renée

    1. Thank you Renee for coming to my braiding boutique. I am glad that you came to use my services and I really enjoyed doing your hair. I hope you will come back to see me later for your hair needs again.

  20. My braids are beautiful! Mrs. Octivea exceeded my expectations! She was personable as well as professional.

  21. Veronica Burton

    First of all, let me say, Octavia always wears a smile and has a nice personality. Now, about my braids. I was very pleased with my braids. Octavia did a very good job on my hair. I let her know my concerns regarding my hair line and after she was finished, you couldn’t even tell I had an issue. She is fast and efficient and she introduce me to some products that would cover my gray and add moisture to my hair. Her little shop, in her home where she did my hair was neat and clean and she makes you feel comfortable. She gives you her total attention and great conversation. I’m going back to her, for sure.

  22. Octivea was recommended by my coworker. I was a little hesitant because I was so used to the same person doing my braids. After speaking to Octivea on the phone I could hear her smile through the phone and she was so confident that I would absolutely love her braids and guess what she was absolutely right. She’s fast and very efficient..try her you won’t be disappointed. The best box braider in Williamsburg Va. I love my hair so much💕

  23. I am and always been a hat lover but my son said mom get your hair braided I went to Google and typed in what I was looking for in my area and the site popped up first one and I stepped out of her shop and OMG so many compliments about my hair my son was impressed and said my Queen shake it shake it. I did because my head didn’t hurt and I wasn’t Chinese when I got home and she is really fast Thank you Ms O I will be going back from now on Cindy Q

  24. First let me say that Octivea saved me! My appointment with someone else the day before was cancelled last minute and my mom recommended her to me and fit me in her schedule. She did my knotless braids and they look so good! She’s quick, she lets you know what she’s putting in your hair, she’s very professional, her salon is beautiful and intimate, and she has a beautiful spirit! This truly was the best experience I’ve had and I will be going back =)

  25. Hands-down the best braiding experience we’ve had. It was hours faster than any one we’ve tried and most professionally done. Octavia was a pleasure to be around and good for our souls as well as our hair. Highly recommend!💗

  26. When you go get your braids done by Octivea you will not be disappointed. She is very professional and passionate about hair care and making sure her customers leave her shop looking and feeling glamorous. She is very organized and fast, I love that. I finally found my braider, with just one visit you will be hooked, I highly recommend.

  27. I absolutely love my hair she did such a good job I am feeling myself she did it just the way I wanted it!!! I feel beautiful it looks so natural and the space felt like I was at home!!! She matched the hair perfectly and she was fast got there at 6 was out by 10!!! If you are looking for a legit person to braid your hair who is neat and fast and does it the way you want it you got to go to O’s braiding boutique it is well worth you money time and honestly she is the best I ever have gone too!!!! I will definitely be returning for all my hair needs with her!!!!

    1. Thank you so much for your kind words and for coming to my braiding salon for your hair needs. I enjoyed every moment of serving you and look forward to braiding your hair again in the future.

  28. My experience at O’s Braiding Boutique was excellent!
    Not only did I love my braids, I loved the whole atmosphere. Octivea was very professional and personable! She was very kind and welcoming; I felt at ease in her chair. When I arrived, everything was laid out and ready to go. She explained her process as she was braiding as well as the products that she used. She was fast; I’ve been other places where it took all day to have my hair braided. I arrived at 6 and Octivea was done before lunchtime! I love my braids, they came out so pretty! They’re very lightweight and so neatly done; and didn’t have a “braid headache” afterwards! I will definitely be making future appointments with Octivea!

  29. It really helped me when you said how you can make your braided hair stay longer, look amazing, and require little to no upkeep by just wrapping it. This will be beneficial for my sister who wants to have Braiding Services that can braid her hair for this event she’s going to. This article will be perfect so I’ll forward this to her!

  30. I live in Williamsburg and always looking for someone to braid hair in the area. I came upon Octivea’s website and decided to book an appointment with her. From the moment I received her initial call, I could tell she was a personable person and felt at ease. Let me tell you, she did an excellent job with my braids!! Love her!! I left the salon with beautiful braids, soft braids, and no soreness or pain. She is the first beautician who has done a scalp treatment when I get braids. Not only does she do excellent work, you can tell by talking with her and sharing stories, she is passionate and truly loves her work!! She has a separate room in her house which is dedicated to her salon business and it was clean, warm and inviting. I highly recommend Octivea!!

    1. Thank you so much for coming to my braiding salon and for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to continue to see you in the future for your hairstyle braiding needs.

  31. Fantastic service with great consultation. O’s business was very clean and well kept. I recommend this to anyone looking to get their hair braided. You will be treated respectfully, your scalp won’t get pulled on rough, and your braids won’t be over tightened. Octivea is an outstanding professional who treats her clients respectfully. Thanks for the great service!

  32. Octavia is a braiding genius, very professional and personal. I love my hair. I’ve had braids before that was too tight and gave me a headache but OctavIa cares about her customers’ hair and she makes sure your edges are protected. In addition, I showed her a picture of the style I liked. Not only did she do the style but when she finished my hair looked better than the image. I definitely will be returning in the near future for additional services.

  33. Thank you so much for the best braiding experience of my life. I was hesitant in getting braids but knew I needed a protective style as I transition to natural hair. Octivea took her time and she walked me through the entire process. She continuously checked in with me to see if I liked the way my hair was turning out which made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She takes the time to understand her clients and their needs and then exceeds expectations. I am already planning my next visit and can not wait too see the magic she performs on my hair.

    1. Thank you so much for trusting me with your hair needs. I always try my hardest with everyone to make sure thier hair is braided in the most highest quality. It is always a pleasure to see my clients satisfied and hope to continously see you for your hair braiding needs.

  34. I was looking for a new braider and was hoping to find one in Williamsburg. I heard about Octivea and I am so glad I went to her! She is a joy that will have you laughing. She is very gentle with your hair and braids very fast. Highly recommend!

  35. Tiernie Singleton

    Miss O did such an amazing job on my braids ! She is extremely talented and so kind. I drove an hour to get to her and I would do it all over again. She treats her customers like family and she and her braiding hands are truly blessed!

    1. Thank you so much for you coming to my salon. I enjoyed having you and being able to braid your hair beautifully to your request. Hope to continue to see you at my braiding salon.

    I have Alopecia and I’m from Baltimore. I’ve been lookin in my home town for a Stylist for a while with no success.
    I wanted a change from wigs and wanted to try out getting my hair braided and was skeptical about the stylist that I’d run across . Didn’t want my 1st experience to be my a bad one. I visited my family NC /SC and Georgia while on vacation seeking my first experience with no success. I returned home for a break and ventured out again to see more family members in Williamsburg NC.
    Upon arrival my daughter in law and granddaughter picked me up and I didn’t recognize them they looked vibrant I keep looking for my family members while they were looking at me . When my daughter in exited the vehicle to help me she stopped me in my tracks she looked amazing with her hair braided. On the way to her home all I talked about was how beautiful the 2 of their hairstyles looked . Them I asked if I could have her stylist number and received it Sunday afternoon. I called her the same day and told her my story upon my surprise on such short notice she booked a consultation the next day . I was amazed of her knowledge and suggestions that I received and made an appointment for the next day.
    I’m glowing from my inside out with happiness she was so professional and made me feel comfortable. I couldn’t have made a better choice and will be returning on my next visit . She’s an Amazing Braiding Stylist . She has changed my life .

    1. Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story with us. I strive to do my very best when braiding any of my clients hair to make them feel beautiful. Every hair braiding style that I do is somewhat unique and not every style comes out the same due to the different types and textures of hair. I am so happy that you are satisfied with your results because I want all of my clients to feel as happy as possible with the ending results. I am glad you choose me for your hair braiding needs and I hope I continue to see you at my braiding salon.

  37. Hello and praise God for you Octivea!! What a blessing you are to me. As a new person in town, I have been trying to find someone to help take care of my hair. I have had a couple bad experiences but now that is all in the past. Octivea greeted me at the door, welcomed me in, made me feel safe and reassured me that I would love my hair. I felt a home and we talked and laughed until she was done. My micro braids are beautiful and she added highlights at no extra charge! Thank you Octivea for making me look and feel beautiful!

  38. All the rave reviews are NO LIE !
    Her home is clean and so are her braiding skills! I was bald 4 months ago and was searching for someone to grip my hair and I was not disappointed with how my hair turned out. Octivea, gripped my hair and it was tight but not painful! I have booked my retouch already! Because 🗣️I HAVE HAIR NOW ! 🥰

  39. Lesssile Geiger

    OCTAVIAA, WAS A GOD SENT FOR ME WITH MY HAIR. SHE TRANSIR MY HAIR AND THE LOOK I HAD. I AM SO GRATEFULTO HER AND GOD. WHO SENT HER TO ME. SHE IS MY MIRACLE WORKER.

  40. I feel blessed that I learned about O’s just before I needed to re-do my braids. She made it easy for me. She had suggestions, and it was done in a serene and private space.
    I have very short hair but she took the time and got even the shortest parts. If you want micro braids, she is the best.

  41. Thank you for your services today. I am grateful for meeting you. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and treating me with utmost kindness.

  42. I just want to say how extremely satisfied I am every time I sit in Mrs. O’s chair. She has such a gift of understanding what you say that you want. Mrs. O goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and beautiful. When you are given an appointment time that means you are in her chair, draped and she is making the first part. So please be respectful of her time as she is with yours! Mrs. O is a beautiful, Godly woman who I highly recommend for your next braided hairstyle.

  43. This lady is THEE BOMB!!! When I say she delivers everytime. She takes her time and she is soo professional. Thank you for doing me and my daughter hair, everytime you do it!
