About

Fresno Braids is run by owner and braider Dolly Azucena, who has been braiding since 2016. The business offers a wide range of braid styles, from small two-braid and four-braid sets to jumbo and large box braids, rope twists and full-head feed-ins. Pricing is listed by style and by head coverage, so clients can see what a given look costs before booking.

The business also runs a braid bar for children's birthdays and special events, with hair, materials and braiding included. Packages are sized by number of children, from 5 to 10 kids up to 21 to 30 kids, and each lists a set appointment length. Standard packages include straight lines and either feed-in, crown or side braids.

Clients can book a Zoom or in-person consultation first, or have a braider come to their home for a house call. Before an appointment, clients are asked to wash their hair within 24 hours, arrive with hair fully dry and free of knots, and avoid oils, gels, creams and leave-in conditioners. Hair needs to be at least 4 inches long all around to be braided, and clients can send a photo beforehand to check. Locs, sew-ins and wig installs are not part of the service, and hair is not washed at the appointment.

Dolly also walks clients through their braids and shares care tips so the style stays fresh between visits. Aftercare notes suggest taking cornrows and feed-in braids down every four to six weeks, since they typically last about one to three weeks. A deluxe car wash can be added to a braiding appointment for an extra $50.

Focuses on clean, neat braids that aim to keep natural hair and the scalp healthy.
