About

Braids by Amy is a braiding business in Henrico, Virginia, run by its owner and stylist, Amy. The business describes itself as a go-to destination in Henrico for braid styles, twists and loc styles, and says its braids are meant to be diverse and creative for all ages and hair types.

Braid styles range from children's braids and cornrows to knotless, micro, boho and feed-in braids, with installs running from about two to eight hours depending on the style. Twists include Marley, Senegalese, island, kinky and spring varieties, and the business uses Marley, Kanekalon and human hair blends for them.

Locs cover maintenance, styling, retwisting and extensions, including goddess locs with curly or wavy ends and butterfly locs that add length or volume. Sew-ins use premium human Remy hair in a range of textures and colors, and lengths, textures and parting can be customized. Aftercare guidance and homecare product recommendations come with each sew-in.

Clients can book online, by phone, or by direct message on social media. Appointments include time estimates, and clients are asked to arrive with clean, detangled hair. Complex and designer braids begin with a consultation, and a deposit is recommended for them. Exact quotes are given after a consultation or by message, since prices depend on style, hair length, density and added hair or design.

The business says it prioritizes scalp care, low-tension methods and nourishing products, with the aim of reducing breakage and supporting healthy growth.
