I started doing friends&#8217; hair at the kitchen table and never really stopped. These days it&#8217;s knotless braids, cornrows, box braids and protective styles, with the odd silk press in between.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I work with type 3 and type 4 hair, and I take one client at a time. No rushing, no double-booking, no handing you off halfway through. If you&#8217;re not sure what suits your length, texture or how much time you&#8217;ve got, send me a photo when you book and we&#8217;ll work it out together.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How I work<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bhb-card is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One client at a time<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have the studio and my attention for the whole appointment.

Braids shouldn&#8217;t hurt to sit in.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group bhb-card is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Booking that sticks<\/h3>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book online and a deposit holds your slot.
