Beautiful Braids by Andra'el

The business offers a wide range of braiding, from classic cornrows and locs to knotless, micro and boho styles. Services include stitch or feed-in cornrows, tribal, Fulani and layered styles, natural hair styles, and natural hair boho styles finished with miracle knots. Braids can be done without extensions, and the business also handles BOB styles, touch-ups and braid take-downs.

Hair is included in the price for braid styles. For boho, goddess and sew-in styles, the business provides 20-inch human hair bundles.

A $30 deposit is required for every style and is applied to the service total. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable unless the error is the business's own, and a cancelled appointment forfeits its deposit. Clients may reschedule once with a paid deposit, to a date within the next two full calendar months and at least 24 hours in advance; a second reschedule forfeits the deposit. Style changes must be requested by email or phone at least 48 hours before the appointment.

Before booking, clients send photos of the head from four angles, and should keep most of the day free because styles can take longer than expected. Hair should be at least 4 inches long all around (baby hair is acceptable), clean, detangled and free of product unless a prep service is booked.

Clients may arrive up to 10 minutes early. Late arrival fees are $20 and $60, and a no-call, no-show means the client cannot rebook. Payment is due in full before service by cash, CashApp or Zelle, and payments are final. Emergency, squeeze-in and same-day appointments carry a $50 surcharge. Appointments starting at 8 p.m. carry a $50 surcharge and require contacting the business before booking. Saturday and Sunday appointments, and appointments with a travel fee, carry a 50% up-charge on the service total. Refunds are processed on Sundays and take 3 to 5 days.
