Growing Hands Braiding

Growing Hands Braiding is run by its owner, Earseleanne Patterson, who does the braiding herself. She came back to the craft after a long break of about twenty years, and her work centers on single braids, micro braids and styles for children.

Her approach is traditional: she describes the work as old-school skill built on time-tested technique, aiming for neat braids that hold up over time. She is patient with younger clients, which is part of why families come to her for children's styles such as cornrows and French braids.

The studio's menu is organized under one braiding category and lists each style with its price, how long it takes and the deposit needed to book. Longer installs such as micro two strand twists, which are done without added hair, take a full working day, so clients should plan for a long session. Cornrows for children are offered for natural hair only.

Booking requires a deposit, which is non-refundable and holds the appointment. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for in-person bookings in a set price range, with approval needed before the appointment. Cancellations made less than 48 hours ahead are charged 80 percent of the service total. Questions can be sent through the contact form on the salon's website.

Works in a traditional, old-school style, focused on neat, long-lasting braids and patient work with children.
