About

The business runs two salons, in Arlington and Waxahachie, and both are open from 7am to 11pm every day. The Waxahachie salon says it welcomes clients from Ennis, Red Oak, Corsicana, Midlothian, Ovilla, Pecan Hill and Bardwell. The salons can be reached at 817-422-9319 and 817-703-5973, and the Waxahachie mobile line is 469-245-1315. The salon describes itself as the most professional African hair braiding and weaving salon in Texas and says its braiders have more than 30 years of combined experience between them.

Each session is shaped around the client's natural hair texture, length and the look they want, and the salon offers a consultation on the braiding style before starting. Clients who want more hands on their hair can ask for two or three braiders to work at the same time. Most styles take one to four hours at the salon.

Prices are listed as starting points: men's cornrows from $25, kids' cornrows from $35, box braids from $85 (about two hours), knotless braids from $155 (about two hours) and Senegalese twists from $200 (about three hours). Sew-in weaves typically last four to twelve weeks, depending on the client and hair type.

Payment is by cash or Zelle only, and cards are not accepted. Discounts are available for referrals, students with a valid student ID, military personnel with a valid military ID, and seniors aged 55 and older. The discount should be mentioned when booking or before services begin.

The salon says it aims to keep prices fair without giving up quality, and it tailors each session to the individual client's hair.

The salon describes its space as cozy, welcoming and relaxing, and WiFi is available for clients.
