+42"I've been going to her almost 10 years. She never misses a beat on my hair." — Shanice C.
Aunty checks that your chosen style works for your hair before she starts. Honest guidance, never pressure.
For most styles, she brings the hair. Clients love the color match. (Bohemian styles: bring your own natural hair.)
No booking required. Call ahead or just stop by. Open Mon–Sat 9–7, Sun 10–5.
Ganiatou has been braiding since before many of her clients were teenagers. That craft shows in every style.
Reviewers call her "my real auntie." Regulars have been coming for years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Most styles take 5–6 hours depending on length and detail. We braid straight through so you're in and out.
