No. I
Braids & twists
Knotless, box, boho, Senegalese and passion twists. Neat parts, even tension and edges left alone. We pre-stretch the hair and seal the ends so they last.
Braid pricesWear your crown like it's the cover.
Knotless braids that sit light on the scalp. Curls washed, defined and left to be themselves. A silk press with swing and no heat damage. Nails worth showing off. All in one calm, sunlit studio on Chestnut Street.
Checking hours…Tue to Fri 10 to 7 · Sat 8 to 5
Medium knotless braids, swept up. About six hours in the chair.
What we make
Three chairs, one standard.
We keep the studio small on purpose. One client per chair, no double booking, and enough time on the clock to do your hair properly instead of quickly.
No. II
Natural hair & locs
Wash and style for every curl pattern, a silk press that respects your curls, loc retwists and starter locs. We work with your texture, never against it.

How it works
From request to reveal.
Send a request
Pick your service, add-ons and a time that suits you. The form shows your total and how long you will be with us.
We confirm within a day
Your stylist checks the details, answers questions about length or hair, and sends a link for the $25 deposit, which comes off your total.
Come as you are
Arrive with hair washed and detangled for braids, or add our prep service and we do it. Snacks and a charger welcome; extra guests are not.
Leave with care notes
Every client gets a short aftercare card: how to sleep on it, wash it and when to come back.
Gentle on your edges
No tight parts, no pulling to make it “last longer”. If something hurts, say so and we redo it on the spot.
Your time, respected
We start on time and tell you honestly how long things take. The times on our price list are real chair times.
No surprise prices
The price you see is the price you pay, unless we agree on a change before we start. Every time.
The chairs
Who will be doing your hair.
Amara
Braids & twists
Owner and the steadiest hands on Chestnut Street. Amara does the parting by eye and still checks it twice. Ask her about boho knotless.
Simone
Silk press, curls & locs
Simone has never met a curl pattern she did not like. She will talk you out of heat you do not need and into a routine that works.
Kei
Gel nails & nail art
Kei paints freehand with a brush smaller than an eyelash. Bring a reference, a color, or just a mood, and see what happens.

The fine print
Booking policy
- $25 deposit holds your chair and comes off your total on the day.

- Running late? Text us. After 15 minutes we may need to shorten the style or move you.
- Braids: please arrive with hair washed, blown out or stretched, and detangled, or book the prep add-on.
- Just you, please. Children aged 8 and up are welcome as clients with a grown-up who stays.
FAQ
Good questions, honest answers.
We are appointment only, so every client gets a stylist who is ready for them. If you are in a rush, call us; same-day gaps for nails do come up.
Not by default, so you only pay for what you need. Add “Braiding hair supplied” for $30 and we bring pre-stretched hair matched to your shade. You can also bring your own.
Four to six weeks looks best. Up to eight is fine if you wrap at night and keep the scalp clean. Longer than that and the new growth starts to tangle, which is hard on your hair.
Done properly, no. We use heat protectant, a low temperature and fewer passes, and we will tell you honestly if your hair needs a few weeks of treatments first.
Two to three weeks for most people. Please do not peel it off; book a removal and we take it off gently so your natural nails stay strong.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. The deposit is paid by link when we confirm your booking.
There is metered parking on the side streets and paid garages nearby. Most clients come by SEPTA; we are a few minutes' walk from Market Street.
