Meet Dre
My sisters were my first clients.
I grew up with four sisters and a mom who braided every Sunday night. By twelve I was doing their cornrows faster than she could, and by sixteen the guys at school were paying me for freestyles on the porch.
Now I have my own booth on Main Street. I part with a rat-tail and a ruler, I stitch flat, and I never braid at the hairline harder than it can take. Men, women and kids sit in the same chair, and everybody leaves without a headache.

Kind words from the chair
First time in years I slept the night after getting cornrows. Tight-looking, not tight. Dre knows the difference.
My son asks for Dre by name. He drew a lightning bolt into his freestyle and the whole fifth grade lost it.
Parts are perfect, every single one. My knotless lasted seven weeks and my edges are intact.

Good to know
Questions, answered
How should I come in?
Washed, blown out or stretched, and detangled. If you can't, add a wash and blow-dry when you book.
Is hair included?
For knotless and boho, yes. For cornrows and feed-ins, I'll tell you exactly what to buy.
Do you braid men's hair?
All day. Freestyles, two-strands with braids, plaits for length. Short hair needs at least two inches.
Will it hurt?
It shouldn't. If anything pulls, tell me and I'll redo it. Pain isn't part of a good braid.
How long will my braids last?
Cornrows two to three weeks, knotless six to eight. Past eight, take them down.
Can I bring my kids along?
Kids with appointments, yes. Extra kids get bored in a five-hour knotless, trust me.
