About

Natou hair braiding has been operating for about two years and works from a single location near the Jeffery Boulevard and 71st Street corridor in South Shore. The salon describes itself as a small team, and its listed hours run from early in the week through Saturday, with Sunday closed. Early morning appointments are offered when available, and free parking is included.

The salon says its focus is quality and personalized care, with close attention to detail and a good experience for each client. Stylists adjust braiding tension for clients with sensitive scalps on knotless and Senegalese twist services. The salon also states it can match a client's reference photo closely, and that braids usually last four to eight weeks with proper care, or about six to eight weeks for Boho braids.

The menu is organized by style. Knotless and box braids run from jumbo to small sizes, with the medium option including the braiding hair. Stitch braids and cornrows range from a two-braid set to more than fifteen braids in freestyle patterns, including a criss-cross option with an optional curly add-on and men's cornrows that are usually six to ten straight-back braids. Fulani braids are offered with or without curly human hair, Senegalese twists come in several twist length options, and Boho knotless braids with a curly finish run from bob to butt lengths. Borabora braids are priced by length and hair source, and highlights and multi-color mixes are available as add-ons.

Booking details are set out clearly. Clients should arrive with hair clean, blow-dried, free of product and fully detangled. Balances are paid at the appointment in cash, Zelle or Cash App, and guests are not allowed during appointments. Clients get a 15-minute grace period, after which the appointment is cancelled and any deposit is lost. The salon describes its pricing as budget-friendly and shows a Google rating of 4.6 from 46 reviews. It also describes itself as LGBTQ-friendly.

Focuses on quality and personalized care, with attention to detail, and adjusts braiding tension for clients with sensitive scalps.

Calm and professional, run by a small team.
