About

A. Ward Styles was established by A. Ward Taylor, who also goes by Angenae. It describes its appointments as intentional, with the aim of building a connection with each client and helping them leave feeling confident.

Offerings include bridal hair trials, editorial bridal styling, destination weddings, and wedding-day concierge services. Packages cover a personalized bridal preview, wedding-day hairstyling, bridal party styling, veil and accessory placement, and final touch-ups before the ceremony. The Bridal Hair Trial is for the bride-to-be only and covers two styles in up to 90 minutes. Clients arrive with clean, dry hair and skip any styling iron after washing.

For natural hair and locs, the salon offers a loc maintenance package that includes shampoo, retwist and style, and an interlocking maintenance service that pulls the end of each loc back through the root. Interlocking pricing is adjusted for clients with more than 75 locs. Add-ons include hot oil treatment, trims, and loc curl styling, which adds curls to locs with methods such as perm rods or pipe cleaners. Box braids over locs and traditional sew-ins are also offered, with a consultation recommended before clients buy hair.

Other services include silk presses for curly to coily hair from types 3b to 4c, a blow-out with advanced blow-dry techniques, roller sets, short-hair wet styling, formal styling for updos and ponytails, women's haircuts, men's styling, and color services. One-on-one tutorials teach a chosen style step by step, either in the salon or virtually. Booking is done through an online Square page, and contact form replies typically arrive within one to two business days.

Keeps appointments intentional, with a focus on connection and clients feeling confident.
