Braids done properly, by one pair of hands

I’m Amara, a braider working out of a small studio just off Brixton Hill. Knotless braids, cornrows and protective styles, with neat partings, comfortable tension and a finish that lasts. Booking’s online, and a deposit holds your slot.

About

Ten years braiding, most of it in south London

It’s just me. No rushing, no double-booking, no handing you off halfway through. You get the same pair of hands from start to finish, and I only take one client at a time so I can give your hair the attention it needs.

I work with type 3 and type 4 hair, and I’m happy to talk through what suits your length, texture and how much time you’ve got before I pick up the comb.

Good to know

Come with your hair washed, blow-dried and detangled. If that’s not doable, add a wash-and-prep when you book. Bring headphones and a drink, longer styles are a few hours in the chair.

Walked out feeling brand new. Already booked my next set before I’d left the studio.

Amara took her time and the partings were so neat. Didn’t feel rushed once, and booking with the deposit was easy too.

Took my daughter for her first braids and she was comfy the whole time. We’ll be back.
