Braidz4Days

Braidz4Days operates as Braidz4Days LLC from Suite 123 at 15825 South 46th Street in Phoenix. The studio combines client services with braid education, and its stated aims are to empower clients, celebrate culture and help people build careers in braiding. The site calls it the top braiding studio and school in the city, a claim this listing reports rather than verifies.

Services are by appointment only, and the studio does not offer mobile visits. Clients should arrive with their hair already washed and detangled, because there is no sink inside the suite. Sessions are video recorded. Services run for 1 to 3 hours depending on the style, and 3-hour services start at 9 a.m. or 12 p.m., while 2-hour services start at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. Hours are listed as 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hair is not included in the service price unless stated otherwise. Full payment is due at the time of service and can be made by Zelle or cash only.

The main menu is built around crochet. The Vixen Crochet Slay, which the site says its owner created, is described as suited to natural hairlines, versatility and protective styles. A braiding-hair version of the Vixen install is also offered and includes a customized Vixen foundation, braiding hair added as needed, teasing, styling, trimmed ends and straightening or detangling. Clients with thinning, short hair or other hair concerns must complete a text consultation with a video of their hair before booking that install. The Signature Crochet Unit is a made-to-order crochet wig customized by curl pattern, length and color blend.

The Braider Babe Academy offers hands-on braiding training at 4-, 7- or 10-week levels, and no prior experience is needed. A 15-minute braid training consultation costs $50. Complete Braid Training is 10 sessions of 1 hour 30 minutes, and Advanced Braid Training is 7 sessions of 1 hour. The Vixen Crochet Tour picks cities based on demand, and an interest list collects requests for future cities; joining the list does not reserve an appointment, and tour bookings are first come, first serve with a non-refundable deposit once a city is announced.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice, and deposits are non-refundable. Clients cancel or reschedule by text only and are asked not to use email for appointment changes. Phone and text contact is 773-895-2249.

The studio aims to empower clients, celebrate culture and help people build careers in braiding, with a focus on protecting natural hair.
