About

Hair By Tigi is a Black-owned and operated braiding salon in Downtown Silver Spring. The salon says it has more than ten years of experience, and its owner, Tigist Ayanu (Tigi), leads a team of stylists who work mainly on braids, sew-ins and twists.

Services are grouped into Braids, Sew Ins, Twists and Other Services. Feed-in cornrows on natural hair start at $60, and feed-in cornrows with added hair start at $80, priced by the number of cornrows. Knotless braids start at $150, with the final price depending on length, size and add-ons, and take about three hours. Fulani braids start at $230, Bora Bora braids at $380, and Boho braids at $230, with braiding hair included in the Boho price.

Sew-ins start at $180 and include the braiding foundation, sew-in technique, blending and styling, with a wash and blow-dry. Bundles can be brought in or bought at the salon. Hybrid sew-ins in braid are priced by size, from $330 to $400, and hair is not included. Twists include Island Twist, Boho Island Twist and Mini Twist, which is offered for shoulder length only.

Other services include a Japanese head spa scalp treatment with several options, flat iron styling, take-down of braids, sew-in maintenance and crown touch-ups for clients who had a prior service at the salon.

Clients are asked to arrive with clean, detangled hair, since detangling or washing may cost extra. A $30 non-refundable deposit secures an appointment and is taken off the final bill. Cash is preferred for the balance, card payments are accepted, and tips are accepted in cash only.

The salon says it follows strict hygiene standards and works within a clear set of booking and service policies.

The space has dedicated washing stations and a calm, relaxed feel.
