About

The salon describes itself as a one-stop place for knotless braids, stitch braids, goddess braids and related styles. The menu centers on braiding, with installs and a short list of men's styles alongside it.

Most braid services include hair at standard waist length. Goddess braids can be booked with hair included or with up to two of the client's own bundles. Knotless styles can add goddess hair for $65, or $85 for a knotless bob. Each service is listed with a price and a rough time estimate, such as about 6 hours 20 minutes for an 18' Burmese Boho Knotless.

The Burmese Boho Knotless, also called Bora Bora Braids, comes in 18' and 24' lengths with hair included. The salon also sells raw Burmese curly hair bundles, described as unprocessed and sourced from Southeast Asia, in lengths from 16 to 30 inches. It carries HD raw Burmese frontals and closures as well as a growth and repair hair oil.

Booking comes with house rules. A $20 nonrefundable deposit is due within 24 hours of booking. A 10-minute grace period applies, after which a $20 late fee is charged, and appointments are canceled if a client arrives more than 15 minutes late. One reschedule is allowed within the same month, at least 36 hours ahead, and the deposit transfers. Squeeze-ins cost an extra $65. Appointment times are estimates that shift with fullness, head size and hair length. Appointments should not be booked on the day of an event, and clients who neither call nor show up can no longer book.

The listing shows a 5.0 rating from 81 reviews.

The salon concentrates on braiding and install work rather than a broad menu, with each style listed with its own price and time estimate.
