Crowned takes time. Worth it takes Amara.

I'm Amara — an independent braider with my own private studio room. Knotless, box braids, cornrows, kids' styles, and loc care, done with clean parts, healthy tension, and zero rushing your crown out the door.

Styles & pricing

Pick your crown.

Prices start-at, based on length and size — you'll get an exact quote when you book. Hair included where noted; time estimates are honest, not hopeful.

Knotless braids

from $1804–6 hrs

Small, medium, or jumbo. Lightweight from day one — no tension headache, no stiff first week.

Box braids

from $1604–5 hrs

The classic, done right: clean parts, sealed ends, and a foundation your edges will thank you for.

Cornrows & feed-ins

from $851.5–3 hrs

Straight-backs to custom patterns. Crisp today, still crisp in week three.

Kids' styles (12 & under)

from $651–2.5 hrs

Gentle hands, snack breaks, and a movie on. Tender-headed kids are my specialty, not my problem.

Loc retwist & style

from $951.5–2.5 hrs

Retwist, style, and honest advice on what your locs need between visits.

Take-down & treatment

from $601–2 hrs

Careful removal, detangle, deep condition. Your real hair is the whole point.

Before your appointment

Come ready, leave crowned.

  • Hair washed and fully blown out — no product, no oils
  • Detangled root to tip (I can do it, but it adds time & cost)
  • Eat first. These are long appointments — snacks welcome
  • Bring your inspo photos; we'll talk through what works for your hair
House rules

One extra guest max in the room — it's cozy in here. Kids' appointments, a parent stays. I run on time so you can too.

Booking deposit: $25 — comes off your total, transferable once with 48 hours' notice. It protects the hours I hold just for you.

About Amara

Hands taught at a kitchen table.

I learned braiding the way most of us do — on cousins, on Sundays, on whoever sat still long enough. Now it's my licensed, independent business with a private room I built out myself.

My promise is simple: healthy tension, honest timelines, and styles that protect your hair while they show it off. Your edges leave here the way they came in — attached.
