Apothecary Braids works from a suite on Pleasant Valley Street in Methuen. The salon focuses on knotless braiding and offers a broad menu, from feed-in and stitch braids to Fulani, goddess, boho and freestyle designs. It also takes men's cornrows, plaits and twists, children's braids, natural-hair styles, and retouch or removal appointments for existing braids.
The stated goal is to make clients' mornings easier, so many of the styles are chosen for low daily upkeep. The salon says it aims to give each client service tailored to their needs, and describes its space as friendly, welcoming and a safe space, with support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Visits are by appointment only, and walk-ins are not accepted. The salon is open Sunday and Tuesday through Saturday, and closed on Mondays. There is no hair sink, so clients should arrive with clean, dry, detangled hair free of product and oil. Hair that has product in it or is very tangled or matted may be turned away, with a same-day cancellation fee of half the service price. Hair is not washed during retouch appointments, and braid removal no longer includes a wash, so clients are asked to bring a bonnet.
Children's appointments require a parent or guardian to stay for the whole visit. The salon does not book children who cannot sit for the listed time or who are extremely tender-headed, and it does not offer detangling, so a child's hair must be fully detangled before the appointment.
The salon's stated mission is to simplify daily routines with low-maintenance braided styles, and it aims to tailor service to each client.
Described by the salon as friendly and welcoming, with complimentary drinks and snacks, Wi-Fi and TV.
