About

B.A.D.-Braids And Dreds has served clients since 1995 from its suite at 13700 Genito Rd in Midlothian. The salon says it has more than 30 years in business and specialized experience in braiding and locs. Its owner, Anita Hill Moses, is also a stylist and product developer, and the team includes stylists who focus on locs, braids and natural hair.

Scalp health, hair retention and long-term hair strength guide the salon's approach. Its hair loss care runs on the S.T.R.A.N.D. program, an acronym for Stylists Training, Researching, and Networking with Dermatologists. Working alongside dermatologists, the salon diagnoses hair loss and designs individualized care routines. The salon states that it is the sole salon in the country holding S.T.R.A.N.D. certification. If an assessment suggests medical or scarring alopecia, an infection, or systemic hair loss, clients are referred to a board-certified dermatologist.

First-time clients need a consultation before their first appointment. The consultation looks at hair type, scalp condition and lifestyle, and it leads into a plan for the visit. Select services include complimentary maintenance appointments. Silk press and blowout services straighten natural hair without relaxers or permanent changes, with heat protectant applied before each flat iron pass and an optional precision trim. Hair loss clients leave with a personalized at-home protocol that covers product recommendations, styling changes and follow-up scheduling. The salon is open Tuesday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, and it is closed Sunday and Monday.

The salon sells natural, toxin-free hair care products, many made in-house, with instructions for home use. Anita Hill Moses develops products under the NHR Natural Hair Restoration name, powered by Rooted Formulations, and the same formulation work extends to stylists, salon owners and product manufacturers. The hair loss service begins with the NHR Dry Shampoo Growth Elixir, which the salon describes as a scalp-focused treatment rather than a cosmetic dry shampoo.

Built on scalp health, hair retention and lasting hair strength, with dermatologist collaboration for hair loss care. The salon describes its approach as built on accountability and results.
