About Me

The hands behind Sunshine Braidz.

“Hair braided just right. Not too tight, and never at the cost of your edges.”

Sunshine Braidz started with one promise: you should leave the chair loving your style and feeling good about your scalp. Every install is parted by hand, kept light at the root and finished so it looks neat from the first day to the last.

From knotless and boho braids to kids’ cornrows with beads, every client gets the same patience and the same attention to detail. Weekend and evening appointments make it easy to fit a fresh style into your week.

FAQ

Good to know.

Still wondering about something? Add it to the notes when you book.

How long do braids last?

Most braids and twists look their best for 4 to 6 weeks. Keeping them past 8 weeks can cause tangling and breakage at the root.

What hair should I buy?

Pre-stretched braiding hair in your color. Most medium styles need 6 to 8 packs. If you are unsure, choose to have hair included when you book.

Can I bring my kids or a guest?

Please come alone unless your child is the one being styled. The studio is small and appointments run long.

Do you do color?

Yes, with braiding hair. Mix in colors like 30, 27 or burgundy, or ask for color only on the ends.

How do I care for my style?

Sleep in a satin bonnet or scarf, keep your scalp moisturized with a light oil, and avoid heavy creams that cause buildup.

What payment do you take?

Cash App, Zelle, card and cash. The deposit is taken when your date is confirmed and goes toward your total.

Hair braided just right

Not too tight. Never on your edges.
