About Us

Jay-style, Golden Crown made

We opened as a two-chair braiding shop in 2011 and added the beauty supply counter in 2018, once enough clients asked where we got our own products. Now you can get braided and leave with the edge control, the next bundle, or the satin bonnet in the same visit.

  • •Licensed braiders, trained in traditional and modern techniques
  • •Tools and stations sanitised between every client
  • •Beauty supply counter stocked with the brands we actually use
