Loved by Houston

What our customers are saying about us

Just stepped out with my freshly styled hair and let me tell you, it's downright flawless! I'm completely smitten with my braids. The folks there? Pure charm and delight. They were gentle with my hair, no pulling or yanking, and the braids? Not a hint of being too tight. You could hear the stylists chit-chatting and chuckling - I didn't get a word they said, but the cheerful vibe? Totally infectious. I kicked back with a couple of flicks and before you know it, they were done - no dilly-dallying. Trust and believe, I'll be making my way back there, and I won't hesitate to put their name out there, either.

The woman who runs the joint is a master at the art of hairstyling. Beyond her skills, she's got a heart of gold and gets a real kick out of lending a helping hand.

WOW braiding shop is something else, I'm telling ya! Found myself in a bit of a jam, needing my hair braided ASAP. Gave them a ring a day in advance, and they told me to swing by first thing next morning. Remy, she worked magic on my braids. They've got themselves a new patron! I'm downright crazy about them!

Superb customer service. My stitch braids were crafted precisely how I envisioned, and she was impressively speedy! I'm definitely planning a return visit.

First time getting my hair braided and they gave me the lowdown on what type of braids would work best for the thin patches in my hair. They wrapped it all up in just four hours. They were totally on the ball and got started on my hair the minute I stepped in the shop. I would absolutely push for people to check out this braid shop and I'll for sure be back. I've been getting heaps of compliments on my braids.

We were totally feelin' it, y'all. Our braid queen was none other than Remi. She killed it - top-tier work, and the customer service? Baby, she was all about it. And quick, too. I'm definitely looking to keep her on my glam team! I'm shouting it out loud - give her a try! Highly recommended!

Key Tips for Maintaining Braided Hair at Home

  • Focus on scalp care with soothing oils and serums to prevent dryness and maintain scalp health.
  • Cover braids during sleep with a silk or satin scarf to prevent unnecessary frizz and tangles.
  • Avoid tight hairstyles that stress your hairline to prevent hair breakage and traction alopecia.
  • Hydrate your hair regularly with a leave-in conditioner to keep your braids moisturized and prevent them from becoming brittle.
  • Utilize gentle fingers or wide-tooth combs when styling to avoid pulling and breaking hair strands.
  • Keep a consistent braid care regimen by washing the braids every two weeks and applying oils and conditioners as necessary.
  • Choose gentle, sulfate-free shampoos to cleanse your scalp without stripping essential oils.
  • Monitor your scalp for signs of irritation, such as itching or redness, and address these promptly to maintain scalp health.
  • Limit the use of heavy styling products that can build up and weigh down your braids.
  • Consider alternating between braid styles to give your hair and scalp some relief and avoid repetitive stress.

By incorporating these practices, you can significantly extend the life and vitality of your braided style, ensuring a healthy scalp and beautiful hair.
