Popular Black Youtube vlogger Alissa Ashley is trending after revealing she paid a whopping $700 for her box braids. Alissa went to celebrity hairstylist Kari Williams, who charged $550 for the braids. Alissa tipped her $150 bringing the total up to $700. Alissa documented her trip to the salon in a Youtube Vlog titled, “I’m Not Bald Anymore.”

Alissa arrived to the shop with her hair already washed and blowdried (another reason people feel she paid too much money for the service that costs around $200 elsewhere) and left with long beautiful braids. However, the Internet is more focused on how much they cost than the finished product.

I've often felt braid stylists are underpaid for their skill, talent, experience, and labor. I'd even say Alissa Ashley spending $550+ for braids that no one can deny look BEAUTIFUL and unarguably well done, sounds fair. https://t.co/K40ynMEOpD

This alissa Ashley thing is dumb. Idc where u are in the world ... her paying $550 will not save her edges . There is someone that can do it neat for that much . You really just need to know how to take out your hair. All this tone deafness is silly.
