ABOUT US
At Mary Braids, our journey is a celebration of creativity, culture, and community. From Isabelle’s passion for hair braiding, rooted in her Côte d’Ivoire upbringing, to Joel’s web design expertise, we’ve built a space where beauty meets artistry. Together, we’ve created more than a salon—it’s a welcoming haven for all. Learn more about our story.
Focusing on the art of exceptional box braids, we at Mary Braids seamlessly blend African heritage with contemporary styling, offering hairstyles that embody both beauty and cultural depth. Our clients experience more than a fashion statement; they engage with a rich tradition that honors our heritage. We are committed to elevating box braids, showcasing them as not just a style, but a symbol of cultural pride.
Twist Braids
Specializing in exceptional twist braids, We at MaryBraids combin cultural heritage with modern styling for unique and fashionable looks. In our salon, every twist braid is crafted with high-quality materials, ensuring both style and hair health. More than just a hair service, we offer a culturally rich experience that celebrates individuality and the artistry of braiding.
At Mary Braids, we specialize in cornrows, a traditional African hairstyle that's as much about heritage as it is about fashion. Each braid is tightly woven close to the scalp, forming neat rows that mimic the look of cornfields – that's where they get their name! It's not just braiding for us; it's creating art on your head with intricate patterns and designs. And for that extra zing, we love adding beads and accessories to make your cornrows uniquely you.
Extensions & Weaves
Proudly offering top-notch sew-in and weave hairstyles, we at Mary Braids provide options for those seeking added length, volume, and style. Our expertly done sew-ins attach extensions to cornrows or a net for a secure, natural look, while our weaves, attached via various methods, offer diverse textures and styles. Both techniques are great protective styles, giving your natural hair a rest while you enjoy a fabulous new look.
Dreadlocks and Locs
We at MaryBraids, we honor the timeless tradition of dreadlocks and locs, creating styles that resonate with cultural significance and contemporary flair. Each set of dreadlocks and locs we craft is a testament to our dedication to preserving a historic art form while infusing it with modern creativity.
Haircare and Styling
Emphasizing both haircare and styling, we at MaryBraids ensure our clients enjoy hairstyles that are as healthy as they are beautiful. Our approach blends expert styling with personalized hair treatments, focusing on the overall health of the hair.

It is best to get braids on a clean head. We can wash and blow dry your hair for an additional fee or you can wash your hair prior to your appointment. If you choose to do so please make sure we can easily pass a comb through.

Yes, you can wash your hair with braids. Dilute shampoo and apply it to your scalp, gently massaging. Be cautious not to disturb the braids excessively, and follow up with a conditioner.
Are braids suitable for all hair types?
Yes, braids can be adapted to various hair types. However, it's crucial to consider your hair's health and consult with a professional stylist for personalized advice.
Use a silk or satin scarf when sleeping, avoid excessive manipulation, and apply a light oil or serum to control frizz. Regular maintenance helps keep the style neat.
Can I swim with braids?
Yes, you can swim with braids. Secure your hair with a swim cap to minimize exposure to chlorine or saltwater, and wash and condition your hair afterward.
If braids are too tight, consider loosening them slightly. Applying a soothing oil to the scalp and avoiding hairstyles that pull too much can also help relieve tension. Remember, individual experiences may vary, and it's advisable to consult with a professional stylist for personal guidance.
