About

Dori's Studio is a hair studio in Chicago, founded by Dori, a master braider, natural hair specialist and educator. The studio's work centers on braids, natural hair care and silk press, with related services such as weaves, locs, relaxers, color and treatments.

New clients book a consultation first. It takes about 30 minutes, starts at $25, and looks at scalp and strand condition, suggests styling options, and covers product and treatment guidance along with any hair concerns the client brings up.

Shampoo is included with every appointment. Clients are asked to arrive with their hair already detangled, which helps avoid extra fees and delays. Appointments have a 10-minute grace period for late arrivals, after which they may be canceled or moved depending on availability.

Braid prices vary by style and size. Knotless box braids come in jumbo, large and medium sizes, with the medium style taking roughly 5 to 7 hours. Feed-in braids include hair for short to mid-back lengths, and the silk press experience includes a custom moisture treatment, glosser, end trim and curls on request. A client review praises the atmosphere and the talent at the studio.

Services begin with a consultation that looks at the scalp and strands before any styling, with product and treatment guidance tailored to each client.

A client review describes the studio's atmosphere as a highlight of the visit.
