Messi Hair Braiding

Messi Hair Braiding was founded in 2019 by Meseret and works from two locations: 445 Walnut St in Richardson and 9243 Skillman Street in Dallas. The business focuses on African hairstyles and serves men, women, and children, with clients coming from across the US as well as the local area.

The menu centers on braided styles. Box braids are done with a three-strand method, braided down to the ends, which are then dipped in hot water. They come in several sizes and types, with medium braids the most common, and clients can choose a pre-designed style or bring their own idea. Senegalese twists typically take four to five hours and can run to seven or eight hours depending on hair type. They can be made from a pre-made design or from an image the client brings. Kanekalon and Toyokalon are the most common hair for this style, and the business describes Senegalese twists as protective and low-maintenance.

Tribal braids, also called Fulani braids, can be finished with added extensions for length, with color, as a ponytail, or with beads. They are usually expected to last six to eight weeks and up to ten weeks with extra care, and they can be refreshed when they start to look fuzzy. Crochet braids attach synthetic extensions to natural hair with a latch or crochet hook. For naturals who want extensions for added protection, Marley hair is recommended.

Beyond braiding, the business offers daily hair routines and casual styling for parties, proms, and weddings, plus buns and braids for kids. Appointments can be booked online, and walk-ins are welcome. Hours are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM every day of the week. The business says its goal is customer satisfaction and creating the look the client wants, and it describes its core values as integrity and open communication. It states a 100% customer satisfaction rate.

Braiding works with all hair textures and is carried out in a clean, hygienic environment. The stated priorities are customer satisfaction and open communication with clients.
