About

Fourteen years in the heart of Harlem

Started as a two-chair braiding shop in 2011. Family run since, and still in the same building.

Our story

Built by the clients who kept coming back

Golden Crown started with two chairs and a braiding-only menu. Clients kept asking where we bought our own edge control and bundles, so in 2018 we cleared out the back room and opened a proper beauty supply counter — same building, same day, no second stop. The chairs are still run by the same core team that opened the doors.
