About

BraidMe X Velocity African Hair Braiding works from its studio at 287 Christiana Road, Suite 5B, in New Castle, Delaware. Its menu is grouped into boho styles, braids, sew-ins, twists, a treatment and a wash. Each service lists an approximate time and a starting price, and the business notes that all appointment times are estimates. Bohemian braids and some boho and sew-in services don't include the added hair, which is priced separately or supplied by the client.

Booking works on a few set rules. Appointments are required. Walk-ins are only taken when a slot is open and the client has called ahead and been given a specific time. Deposits are non-refundable. Clients are asked to arrive with freshly washed, blow-dried hair that has no product in it, to check their hair before leaving once the service is finished, and to tell the stylists about any allergies, sensitivities or concerns before a service, since heat, tools, products and techniques carry inherent risks. The business does not braid over locs.

The house rules cover the salon floor as well. Men are only allowed in when they are receiving a service. Smoking cannabis and vaping are not permitted on site, and clients who use foul language or are rude or difficult may be refused service, with appointments cancelled if needed.

According to the business, it is intended to help restore the hair's pH balance and support healthy growth and thickness, and it uses fresh organic fruit that the business says it sources from local farmers. The business also offers a three-week, hands-on class that teaches braiding, priced at $1,400.
