About

The salon opened in 1980 and is based in Harlem. It describes itself as Black-owned.

It serves children, adults, and people with special needs, and works with both short and damaged hair. During braiding, hair is not pulled tight, and the team focuses on hair health while keeping the client informed at each stage of the appointment.

Natural oils and hair products are used on the hair, and the salon also sells hair. Walk-ins are taken, though appointments are preferred. The salon is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. According to the salon, its commitment to quality service at reasonable prices has made it a popular choice for generations.

Hair health comes first, with braiding done without pulling hair tight and ongoing communication with the client throughout the process.
