Noelle Braids

Noelle Braids started in the owner's garage before the business opened its first hair salon. It now works from a private suite at Optima Salons in the Beaverton and Tigard area, and salon services are by appointment only.

Clients book through a full-service booking app and pay a 50% deposit when they book. Arriving 30 or more minutes late means rebooking, and cancellations need 72 hours' notice; cancelling within 24 hours is treated as a no-show and the deposit is charged. Hair should arrive clean, detangled and stretched, or an extra $50 applies. Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Payment can be made by debit or credit card, cash, Cash App, Venmo or Zelle, and clients are asked to mention any concerns before they leave.

The business says its goal is high-quality hair that lasts and looks like natural long hair, and that every woman should feel beautiful. Braiding uses kanekalon from brands such as X-Pression and Spectra, and knotless braids are done with lower tension than traditional box braids. Customer reviews on the site, according to the business, mention fast service, a warm atmosphere and good prices.

The online shop carries Indian Bundles described as grade 8A processed Remy hair, which the business says last 12 or more months with proper care, as well as RAW (SEA) bundles. It also sells HD lace closures and frontals in several sizes, curly and silky straight wigs from 12 to 16 inches, and 3D mink and 25MM mink lashes. Gift cards start at $10.00.

Focuses on high-quality hair that lasts and looks like natural long hair, with the aim that clients feel beautiful.
