Services
What we braid
Price follows the style, the size, the length and the hair used. Send a photo of the look and a time and a price come back, not a guess.
- 01
Box braids
Small, medium or large, any length. Square parts, sealed ends. Add boho curly ends or colour through the back.
Most booked - 02
Knotless
Fed in rather than knotted, so they lie flat from day one and pull less at the root.
Gentle on edges - 03
Twists
Senegalese, passion and Marley. Softer movement than a braid, the same weeks of wear.
Twists - 04
Cornrows & feed-ins
Straight backs, stitch braids and lemonade parts, for adults and for kids.
Kids welcome - 05
Sew-in extensions
Braided base, wefts sewn flat and tight, with leave-out or a closure.
Sew-ins - 06
Hair & colour
Braiding hair, curly ends and colour blends chosen with you before a single part is made.
Extensions - 07
Styling & cuts
Trims, shaping and styling for natural hair, before braids or on its own.

“She worked quickly and I really appreciate the precise parts. Small to medium box braids with a lil loose wavy action, in five hours.”

★★★★★“The best experience she's ever had getting braids. She left TD's smiling because she was actually loving her hair. Tanneh went out of her way to change the colours when she found out what my daughter really wanted.”
Brandy D.
★★★★★“Travelling from Texas on a four month camping trip and needed my braids redone. She answered every question and kept in touch the whole way. The appointment was flawless, the surroundings comfortable and peaceful.”
Merry S.
★★★★★“Amazing and very professional. This is my second time coming back and I drive an hour just to come see her. Anytime I need my hair done TD will be my hairdresser.”

Before you book
Questions we get
How much do braids cost?
It depends on the style, the size of the braids, the length, and whether hair is included. Text a photo of what you want and you get a firm price before anything is booked.
How long will I be in the chair?
Cornrows and twists can take a couple of hours. Small and medium box braids or knotless run most of a day. One client's small to medium box braids with curly ends took about five hours.
Do I bring my own hair?
Ask when you book. We can tell you the brand, the colour and how many packs the style needs, or source it for you.
How should I turn up?
With clean, fully dried and detangled hair unless we tell you otherwise for your style. It saves real time in the chair.
Do you braid children's hair?
Yes, and we take the time to check what they actually want before starting. Parents tell us that is the part their kids remember.
Are you open on Sundays?
Every day, 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM, by appointment.
