About

Braids & Weaves began as a home-based business and has since grown into a salon with locations in Calumet Park and Chicago. The salon describes itself as the best salon in Illinois, and its stated mission is to be innovative and motivated in pursuit of excellence in the hair industry. Its main interest is empowering women, girls, men and boys to embrace their natural beauty.

Appointments are required and are booked by phone or through the salon's booking site. Hours are Monday to Friday 9 am to 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 7 pm. Before a visit, clients complete a questionnaire and waiver, and hair should be fully washed and dried within 24 hours of the appointment. Clients wait outside until their time is ready. Family groups may book together, while friend groups attend separately. Prices are often listed as starting amounts and may rise for long, thick, matted or undetangled hair. Services are priced by the stylist's experience level, from apprentice through to stylists with ten or more years of education and experience.

The menu is broad. Knotless braids, bohemian and goddess styles, feed-in stitch braids by stitch count, micro braids, Bantu knots, cornrow designs and twists sit alongside sew-in and full weaves, crochet installs, invisible braids and ponytails. Locs services cover start-up locks, retightening, repair, trims, detox and scalp treatments. Men can book cornrows, feed-in braids, locs and twists, and there is a barber menu with beard work and haircuts. Home service, where the stylist travels to the client, starts at $250 plus a travel fee.

Consultations are offered virtually or in person, with a separate microlocs consultation for clients with at least four inches of hair. The salon also runs training for hair stylists, including an online braiding class, an online crochet master class and an in-person stitch braids class. The site describes the guest experience as a real African experience. The Chicago location's listed amenities include parking, Wi-Fi, a loyalty program, card payment, child-friendly service and accessibility for people with disabilities.

The salon says it trusts its artists to develop their own creativity once they have the technical education they need, and that artists' creative work builds guest trust.
