About

The range of work covers knotless braids in many lengths and sizes, box braids, goddess and bohemian styles, Senegalese, spring, Marley, passion and island twists, crochet braids and twists, and cornrows including feed-in, lemonade, halo and double Dutch styles. Sew-ins, soft locs, one-strand twists and braid take out or maintenance are also listed. The facts also mention men's styles, natural hair services and combination braid styles.

Timing varies by style. Typical braiding takes four to six hours, crochet braids and twists are the quickest at about 1.5 to 3 hours, jumbo Senegalese twists and jumbo box braids take three to four hours, and Senegalese twists take six hours or more. Braid take out is charged by the hour at $35, and a braid consultation is $20 for 30 minutes. For a full sew-in, the business recommends three bundles and a closure, or two bundles and a closure for less thickness.

Bridal styling is available either at the salon or at the client's location, and the business also styles hair for special occasions. Children's styles are offered for ages 8 and under. Clients on the site describe the stylist as pleasant, affordable and talented. The business's beauty tips page suggests a sulfate-free shampoo, a deep conditioner and a leave-in conditioner for virgin hair.
