About

Mobile Braider describes itself as a mobile salon that keeps traditional salon values and services, but brings them to the client rather than the other way around. Walk-ins are not accepted, so every visit is booked ahead.

The menu covers several groups of work. Braids include take-downs, cornrows, kid styles for children ages 5 to 12, large and medium box braids, several sizes of knotless braids, butterfly locs, half weave with half braids, and goddess or boho knotless styles. Twists include dreadlock re-twists, crochet styles, and Senegalese and passion twists. Updos include lemonade braids, Fulani braids, and braided and twisted buns. There are also men's and women's haircuts and trim-and-style services for natural hair.

Before some services, clients are asked to send photos of their hair so the work can be planned. Service times are estimates, and very dense hair can take longer than the listed time. Hair is included in some sizes and lengths, while special colors, waist-length add-ons, and longer take-down time carry extra charges, all of which are stated on the price list. The business accepts credit cards.

Presents itself as a mobile salon with traditional salon values, asking for hair photos before certain services so the plan fits the client's hair.
