About

The studio is upstairs in Suite 205 at 1478 Atwood Avenue, reached behind a pink curtain. The menu is built around braids, twists, locs and quick weaves. Hair is supplied for most braid styles and is not included for stitch braids, men's services or the quick weave and ponytail options.

Booking runs through Booksy, where the studio's own profile shows a 4.9 rating from 48 reviews. Appointments made one to four hours ahead count as last-minute and are arranged by texting the braider rather than through the booking site, and a $20 squeeze-in fee applies when she has to fit someone in. Booking more than five to six hours ahead carries no extra fee. The booking deposit is non-refundable.

Arrival rules are firm: a $15 late fee applies if a client is 15 minutes late, and appointments are canceled automatically after 20 minutes. Clients are asked to arrive with hair detangled and blow-dried, or to book a blow dry, since unblown hair otherwise carries a $20 fee. Parking and Wi-Fi are listed as amenities.

For clients who want to leave the style open, a Freestyle booking lets the braider choose between twists, braids or barrels on the day. It is listed as taking about three hours, with the price varying. A mobile house-call option is also available from $30.
