Services
The classic protective style and one of our most requested. Your braider sections the hair into clean, even parts and braids from root to tip, so the finished set looks neat from every angle. Choose the size and length that fit your life, from small and long to chunky and shoulder-length. Bring a photo of the look you love. Clients say their hair always looks neat when they leave, and that's the standard we keep. Ask whether hair is included for your chosen length.
Cornrows are one of the styles our reviewers mention most. Straight-back rows for an easy week, curved designs when you want something special, or cornrows as a base under another style. They're quicker than a full set of box braids and great for keeping your hair protected and out of the way. Tell us how long you'd like the style to last and how you'll wear it, and we'll help you choose the size and pattern that works best for you.
Soft, full and full of movement. Passion twists give you a relaxed, bohemian look that's light to wear. One client walked out with waist-length passion twists she loved. Let us know the length you want so we can plan the time and the hair you'll need, and ask whether hair is provided for your look. Like every style we do, passion twists are a protective option that gives your natural hair a rest from daily styling and heat.
Braiding isn't just for women. A reviewer called us the best place to get your braids done, men or women, and guys come in for cornrows, straight-back styles and individual braids. Not sure your hair is long enough? Call and describe your length, or stop by so we can take a look. Clean parts and a neat finish are just as important on a man's head as anyone else's.
Our shop is good for kids, and protective styles are a smart choice for busy school mornings. We braid neat, comfortable styles sized for younger heads, so your child can play, learn and sleep without fuss. If your little one is tender-headed, tell us before we begin. Clients who are sensitive have said their braids didn't hurt, and we take the same care with children. Bring snacks or a tablet for longer styles to help the time fly by.
One client praised our "great prices on so many creative styles." If you've seen a look online or in a magazine, bring the photo and we'll talk about how to make it work for your hair. Protective styling keeps your ends tucked away while your natural hair rests and grows. We'll be honest about what's realistic for your length and texture, and you're always welcome to ask for the price before we start. Payment for every style is cash only.
When to come in
Aftercare
A little care at home goes a long way toward keeping your style neat until your next visit.
Sleep in a satin or silk scarf or bonnet, or on a satin pillowcase. It cuts down on frizz and keeps your parts and edges looking crisp for longer.
Keep your scalp clean and lightly moisturized, and avoid heavy products that build up at the roots. If anything feels sore or itchy, don't scratch hard. Pat instead.
Skip very tight ponytails and buns for the first few days, and let your hairline rest. Gentle styling now protects your edges for the long run.
Even the best protective style needs a break. When the new growth shows and the braids start to lift, call us to plan your takedown and next set.
How it works

It helps to arrive with your hair washed, detangled and dry. Bring your inspiration photo, your hair if needed, and cash for your service.
Sit back while your braider works. Speak up anytime something feels tight. Then walk out with a style that looks neat.
