About

Hair by Sani is run by Sani, who has owned and operated the studio since 2020. The work centers on braids and protective styles, with a price list that runs from simple hair services and touchups up to larger braid, weave, and loc installs.

Sani describes the chair as a safe, inclusive space where every client is treated without judgment. The studio is open Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 11 PM and is closed on Tuesdays.

Several policies apply. A $20 non-refundable deposit is charged for no-shows and for cancellations within 24 hours of an appointment. A $15 last-minute fee is added to bookings. Clients should arrive with hair washed and blow-dried, and dread loc retwist clients should arrive with hair washed or pay for a wash.

Hair is provided for many braid and twist styles, in colors 1b and 2 with small amounts of pop-of-color hair. Boho hair used in listed styles is 100% human hair. Clients who bring their own hair receive a $20 discount on some styles, and for French curls braids they are asked to use Freetress. Sani also teaches a one-on-one braiding class starting at $250, described as including what is needed to start a braiding business.
