About

The salon works on all hair types, including coarse, fine, straight and curly hair. Appointments are required, and clients book by calling the salon at (202) 319-2993. The website does not list specific opening hours beyond saying the salon is open every day of the week.

Technicians aim to deliver the exact style a client asks for, keeping braids from being pulled too tight or made too small or too large.
