The menu is built around protective styles. Braid work covers feed-in cornrows, Fulani feed-ins, knotless and box braids, singles, and twists including Sengelese, passion and boho knotless styles, with waist-length pricing on many of them. Loc work includes retwists, starter locs, microlocs and faux locs, and there are sew-ins, extensions and quickweaves. Men's cornrows and men's box braids or twists are also offered, along with natural styling for curly and coily hair.
Bookings are made online by choosing a service, date and time. Any service booked after 5:30 pm carries a $100 after-hours fee. Several services require a consultation first, including starter locs, extensions, faux locs, braid takedowns, haircolor and blonde chemical work. Children's styles are for children nine years old and under who can sit still. The salon also sells premium hair care products on site.
The salon says it suits busy professionals who value efficiency and luxury, and its stated goal is for clients to leave feeling confident, with hair that looks good and stays in good condition.
The salon describes protective styling as both attractive and functional, done with gentle techniques and attention to detail. It aims for hair that looks good and stays in good condition after the visit.
The studio sits in a brick building, with high ceilings, contemporary fittings and large windows that let in a lot of daylight. It feels quiet and unhurried.
