About

The salon is at 13289 Gateway Center Drive, Loft 9, in Gainesville, and is open every day of the week from 6 am to 8 pm. Its menu covers a wide range of braided and twisted styles, from small and midback sizes to waist length, along with kids braids and custom designs. The FAQ also mentions faux locs and micro braids.

Appointments can be booked online or by phone, and walk-ins are taken when the schedule allows, though booking ahead is recommended. Prices depend mainly on braid length, which runs from shoulder to ankle, and rise as the braids get longer. The listed prices are starting prices, and most styles take between 2 and 8 hours. A $20 non-refundable deposit secures the appointment and is counted toward the total, and the balance is paid at the start of service by cash, Cash App or Zelle. The deposit is refunded only if the salon cancels or makes an error.

Before a visit, hair needs to be at least 4 inches long, washed and blow-dried straight, and free of products. Clients may bring their own braiding hair, and the salon will advise on the right type when booking. Braiding hair is also sold at the salon. Clients should arrive on time, since there is a 15-minute grace period and later arrivals are not refunded. Missed appointments are charged half the service cost and may lead to a booking restriction. Extra guests are not allowed, and a style cannot be changed on the day of the appointment. Any concern about the hair has to be raised before leaving the shop and within 24 hours of installation.

The salon says it takes pride in its braiding expertise and precision, and that it uses top-quality hair care products to keep braids healthy.

The salon describes its work as precise braiding, with hair care products it calls top quality used to help keep braids healthy.
