Braiders Club

Braiders Club opened its first location in Lagos in 2021 and is expanding to Dallas. The business was founded by Merryday Obaseki, who is described as a licensed cosmetologist with more than 15 years of experience in the hair industry. The business describes its aim as bringing braiding into a professional, structured setting built around protective styles.

The Lekki salon is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. It offers online booking with instant confirmation. Visit length varies by style: natural stitch cornrows with up to 8 rows take about 1 hour 30 minutes, barrel twists with stitch up to 8 rows about 2 hours, stitch braids with up to 6 rows about 2 hours 30 minutes, small knotless braids in bob or shoulder length about 5 hours, and tiny micro braids in bob or shoulder length about 7 hours. Each braid service includes a complimentary hair wash. Braiding hair is not included in the tiny micro, small knotless or stitch braid services, and the natural stitch cornrows add no extensions.

Listed prices at the Lekki salon in naira are ₦15,000 for natural stitch cornrows up to 8 rows, ₦21,000 for stitch braids up to 6 rows, ₦22,500 for barrel twists with stitch up to 8 rows, ₦47,000 for small knotless braids in bob or shoulder length, and ₦66,000 for tiny micro braids in bob or shoulder length.

Three monthly memberships bundle routine hair care with a monthly style pick. The entry tier is listed at $200 per month and includes bi-weekly wash and blow-dry, bi-weekly treatment, a monthly trim and one style pick. The middle tier is listed at $390 per month and adds a monthly take-down and a choice of stitch, box or knotless braids. The top tier is listed at $850 per month for two named members and includes braiding hair. Memberships require two months of payment at signup, then bill monthly, and unused services do not roll over. Style changes beyond the standard pick are listed at an extra $50 to $100 and are confirmed with the braider before service.

Beyond braiding, the salon offers hair and scalp treatments aimed at dryness, breakage, dandruff and scalp discomfort, relaxer application, and single-step hair coloring for which clients bring their own chemical kits or dye. Home service by a stylist is available with travel fees set by region, Island or Mainland. Add-ons such as a hair trim, a curly tips styling finish and a private VIP Room booking fee must be booked alongside a styling service. Hybrid sew-ins combine braiding at the hairline with a traditional install at the back. The business also trains braiders in person at its Lagos and Dallas salons and online, covering technique, speed, precision, client management and pricing for beginners and experienced braiders.

Protective styles are done with methods that put scalp health first and aim for a clean, polished finish.

The business describes its setting as professional and structured.
