Located in Fort Worth, Texas, I Braid Kids is a salon that serves children only and specializes in braids. Rahsheta 'Nette' Norris founded it with a mission centered on young clients' sense of ease and self-assurance, along with attention to strengthening and lengthening their hair. It previously operated as Hair By Royal Beauty. The salon describes its service as a luxury braiding experience designed for kids.
The salon takes a gentle, patient approach to children's hair, with an emphasis on protective styles and healthy growth. It serves toddlers ages 0 to 4, youth ages 5 to 12 and young adults ages 13 to 17, and it offers patient handling for children with tender heads or hair loss. A sensory-friendly braiding service is available as a three-hour flat-rate appointment for children with autism and sensory sensitivities, with shampoo, gentle detangling and braiding included, in natural hair or with extensions.
Visits are drop-off only, so parents leave their children for the appointment. A waiting area in the lobby is available if a parent needs to stay nearby. Every service includes a wash, scalp prep, and beads and basic accessories, and the salon supplies all of its products and accessories. Clients may request a custom style by uploading a photo of a look they want recreated, and Boho human hair or extended length can be added when a requested style calls for it.
Booking is online through the salon's Acuity site, and first-time clients are asked to complete a form before their visit. A $25 non-refundable deposit is due at booking and applies toward the final balance, which is paid at drop-off. Regular hours are 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with a $50 squeeze-in appointment offered by phone outside those hours. Payment is accepted by Apple Pay, Zelle, Cash App, card through Stripe, Affirm, Afterpay and exact-change cash.
Patient, gentle handling aimed at helping children's hair stay healthy while it grows, using protective styles, natural products and holistic scalp care rather than products alone.
The salon is calm and clean, with a lobby waiting area for parents.
