About

Shalom Nick is a braiding and hair styling business based at a studio on Annapolis Road in Bladensburg, Maryland, serving the town and surrounding areas. Its braiding menu is organized into groups: Bohemian knotless, regular knotless, Bora Bora, gypsy, French, cornrows, triangle, island, passion, alliance and Senegalese twists, crochet, other braid styles, and special promotions.

Bohemian knotless braids come in sizes from extra small to jumbo. The jumbo, large and medium large sizes are listed at $180, and the extra small size at $350, based on mid-back length with 100% human hair provided. Regular knotless braids start at $140 for large and go up to $320 for extra small, based on waist length. Triangle braids are $250 for medium knotless and $260 for large, with a waist-length base. Gypsy braids are $350 in medium and $450 in small medium, and Bora Bora braids are $350 in medium and small medium, both on a mid-back base.

Cornrows range from $60 for two braids to $160 for a feeding cornrows ponytail, with six feeding cornrows starting at $70 and varying by number. French braids include soft loc and butterfly loc at $250, which take about five hours, and Marley twist French braids at $200. Crochet starts at $150 for a regular install and $180 for individual crochet.

Appointments are by appointment only and should be booked online so a slot is held. A $30 non-refundable deposit secures each appointment and is confirmed once received. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 24 hours' notice, and with notice the deposit can move once to a new appointment within one week.

Braid appointments can run for several hours, with the length of time shaped by the style chosen, how many braids are wanted, the length of the hair, and the health of the natural hair. Clients are asked to arrive with hair that is clean and freshly washed, then blow-dried, and free of oil, grease or leave-in conditioner. The hair also needs to measure at least 3 to 4 inches around the hairline. If hair is not prepared this way, the salon may add a fee or move the appointment to another day. Extra costs may be added for short hair, additional length, added bulk, bespoke styling, unusual shades, or work that takes more time or materials than usual. Clients who arrive late may be charged, have a shorter appointment, be moved to another day, or have the booking cancelled.

Styles are shaped around the finished look each client wants, and the salon says it cleans its space and regularly sanitizes tools and equipment.
