About

Melanie Hair Braiding is a protective styling salon in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The salon calls itself Maryland's premier protective styling salon, a description it makes about itself. Its work centers on braids, twists, and locs, with an emphasis on neat results and keeping natural hair protected.

The menu is organized into several groups. Knotless and box braids are offered in sizes from Small to Jumbo and in lengths from shoulder to mid-thigh. Boho braids use 100% human hair and come in multiple sizes, with bob versions as well. Tribal and cornrow work includes Lemonade braids, stitch braids counted by the number of stitches, and tribal flip-over braids. Locs and twists cover soft locs, butterfly locs, passion twists, spring twists, and island twists. A cornrow and specialty group adds French braids, micro braids, gipsy braids, and under wig braids, and maintenance covers touch-ups and take-downs, including standard and soft locs take-downs.

Pricing is posted as a list. Many prices are starting prices and can vary with hair thickness and the length you choose, and the salon says its pricing is fully transparent. Custom styles, colors, and lengths that are not on the list are quoted on request. Clients can ask for an appointment through an online form that includes date and time fields.
