Kids' braids are offered for girls ages 4 and up, in styles that include knotless, feed-in, freestyle, ponytails, box braids and cornrows with beads. Knotless braids start at $85 and cornrows with beads start at $45, with final pricing depending on style complexity and length. Appointments usually take two to four hours, with breaks paced to the child and snacks and something to watch along the way. Parents may stay in the room. Parts are sectioned with a comb rather than pulled, and added hair is fed in gradually. Added-hair styles use pre-stretched, anti-bacterial hair. Protective styles typically last two to four weeks, depending on the style and how the hair is wrapped at night.

Lash extension services include classic sets, hybrid volume sets and lash fills, starting at $85. Extensions are applied one at a time to individual natural lashes. Each visit begins with a consultation on lash health and eye shape, and the stylist may suggest a lighter set or a break. Lash fills are recommended about every two to three weeks.

Makeup artistry covers bridal, photoshoot, soft glam and special occasion looks, starting at $75. Makeup trials are recommended for weddings. Skin prep is matched to skin type, and color is matched in natural light. Clients are asked to mention photography or skin sensitivities when booking so products can be chosen and patch tested.

Mobile braiding goes to clients' homes for a small travel fee that varies by distance. Coverage includes Jonesboro, Stockbridge, Hampton, Locust Grove, Eagles Landing, Riverdale, Fayetteville and Fayette County. Clients are asked to mention mobile service when booking so the fee is confirmed before scheduling. A $25 deposit secures a booking and is applied to the total. The studio is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm, and closed Sunday and Monday. The phone and text line is (470) 453-1126.

The salon says its mission is premium beauty service in a gentle, patient setting, and it values healthy natural hair over following trends. Techniques are built around low tension and children's comfort.

Appointments are paced around children's attention spans, with breaks, snacks and something to watch.
