Locs and Braids by Angel

Locs and Braids by Angel is a mobile service based in Waldorf, Maryland. Rather than working from a salon, the stylist travels to the client's address for braids, locs and natural hair work. The business describes its experience as luxury and its services as focused on healthy styles.

Services are grouped into braids, crochet styles, loc services, natural hair and twist styles, and takedown and removal. Hair is included in the service unless the booking says otherwise. Add-ons such as added length, curls, a wash or takedown are chosen at the time of booking. Clients who are unsure what to book are asked to contact the business before scheduling, and incorrect bookings may be adjusted or canceled.

Booking requires a $50 non-refundable retainer, which is applied toward the total. Pricing and timing depend on hair density and the look the client wants.

Travel fees are set by zone and based on driving distance to the exact appointment address. The local zone (0 to 10 miles from Waldorf) carries a $25 fee, zone 2 (11 to 15 miles) is $40, zone 3 (16 to 20 miles) is $55 and zone 4 (21 to 25 miles) is $70. The local zone covers Waldorf, St. Charles, White Plains and some nearby addresses in La Plata, Pomfret, Brandywine and Accokeek, while zone 2 and zone 3 extend into surrounding areas such as Hughesville, Bryantown, Clinton, Charlotte Hall and Mechanicsville. If the wrong zone is selected, the difference must be paid before service. Appointments more than 25 miles away require contacting the business before booking for availability and a custom travel fee.
