No Goverance!

In Maryland, braiders don't have to be licensed, trained or take minimum certification in health, sanitation and safety. So be aware some salons aren't even insured (so they say). Why discuss this because my girlfriend went to Original African Hair Braiding in Columbia and the only thing she can do is sue because like many braiding salons Kadjia has no liability insurance. This is the picture she sent me when she took her crochet braids out. The braider cut her with the crochet needle and she got an infection.
