About

KBRAIDING LLC is a hair braiding salon in Portsmouth that describes itself as an African hair braiding and natural hair care salon. The salon describes itself as top-rated and says it has more than 500 happy clients. Its stated mission is to help clients feel confident and stylish through their hair.

Walk-ins and appointments are both accepted, and booking ahead secures a preferred day and time. A $50 non-refundable deposit reserves an appointment slot, paid through Cash App, and it is deducted from the final balance on the service day. Before a session, clients are asked to arrive with their hair washed, detangled and blown out straight, and to avoid heavy greases, oils or waxes. Clients may bring reference photos showing the parting and finish they want. Salon hours are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM from Wednesday through Saturday.

The booking page lists the full service menu with a desired-style selector. Prices are shown on the official salon price menu along with estimated service times. Entry-level options such as takedown and kids' cornrows start at $60, while longer knotless styles run into the hundreds. A Knotless Large Regular Length braid is $180 and takes about 3.5 hours, and a Small Knotless Butt Length is $400 and takes about 8.5 hours.

The salon sits roughly 15 to 20 minutes' drive from Virginia Beach Town Center and the Oceanfront. Approximate drive times are about 12 minutes to Norfolk, about 10 minutes to Chesapeake and about 20 minutes to Virginia Beach.

Braiders use a tension-free technique aimed at protecting the natural hairline, with tension adjusted to each client's scalp sensitivity.

The salon describes its space as clean, relaxed and peaceful.
