MATY Hair Braiding

MATY Hair Braiding, also shown as Maty Professional African Hair Braiding, is based on Avenue D in Brooklyn. Its main work is braiding, with styles that range from classic cornrows and three braids to box braids, Senegalese twists, Kasamas braids, micro braids, goddess braids, flat twists, invisible braids and cork screw styles. Weaves are also offered. The salon also provides facial and eyelash services.

The salon describes itself as a space that honors and preserves African hair traditions while producing modern, wearable looks, and as a welcoming place that celebrates Black beauty and artistry.

A visit usually starts with a consultation, where you choose a style and talk through how to maintain it before braiding begins. Clients are asked to arrive with hair washed, dry and free of heavy products. A braiding session typically runs from 2 to 6 hours, depending on how complex the style is and how long the hair is. Aftercare guidance is included to help keep the scalp healthy and make braids last longer. Optional follow-up appointments are available for maintenance, tightening or removal.

Walk-ins are welcome, though appointments are recommended to secure a time, especially during busy hours. Bookings can be made online, or by calling or texting the salon. Night appointments are available by booking only.

The salon describes its tools and workspace as clean and sanitized, and it discusses product lines with clients during consultation.
