About

The salon presents itself as a braiding studio built around precision and elegance, and says it aims to set a high standard for luxury hair artistry. According to the salon, each client is treated with the kind of care usually reserved for someone important, and its stylists are described as expert and dedicated to braids that hold up over time.

Braids covers cornrows in many forms, including men's intricate cornrows, feed-in and large feed-in cornrows, kids' cornrows, and cornrows with geometric or mohawk designs. It also includes knotless braids in several sizes, box braids, micro braids, goddess braids, boho braids, Fulani braids that pair cornrows with free-hanging braids decorated with beads or thread, crochet braids, faux locs, and stitch braids. Twists covers Spring, Passion and Senegalese twists.

Several listings describe how each style is meant to fit different hair. Men's intricate cornrows are suited to finer or thinner hair, while faux locs and Senegalese twists are described as suited to coarser, thicker textures. Freestyle goddess braids are best on medium to long hair, and feeder cornrows can be adapted to shorter hair with smaller, tighter sections.

Tension is a stated focus. Large feed-in cornrows are described as causing minimal tension at the hairline, small knotless braids use a feed-in technique meant to remove tension at the roots, and small bohemian knotless braids are described as fitting snugly without tightness.

Appointments are listed with estimated durations, which range from about 1.5 hours for men's intricate cornrows to about 8 hours for small bohemian knotless braids. Pricing is shown per style, with some listed as starting prices. Online booking includes a deposit option that ranges from $16 to $70 depending on the service. The salon also gives aftercare guidance, such as wrapping hair in a silk or satin scarf at night for twists and light, non-greasy scalp oil every few days for stitch braids and beaded kids' braids.

The salon says its mission is to provide hair care with precision and elegance, and lists excellence, respect and artistry among its values.

According to the salon, appointments take place in a calm, relaxing environment.
