Defiance, Ohio · Braiding since 2018

Braids for every age.

I'm Amaya, and I've been braiding since 2018. Knotless and boho, feed-ins, kids' styles, and quick everyday braids — for school, for game day, for pictures, for no reason at all.

Service Menu

What I offer.

Every price below is a starting price. What you pay depends on the length you want, how full you want your boho, whether we're adding color, and how detailed the parting is. Use the estimator below to get a closer number, or message me and I'll tell you exactly.

Knotless & Boho

Long-wear protective styles. These take the most time and the most hair, so the starting price moves the most with length.

Medium Boho Knotless

My most-requested long style. Medium knotless braids with soft curly pieces left through them, so it moves like your own hair. Light on the scalp and made to last.

    Before You Come

    How to get ready.

    Please arrive with

    • Hair detangled. Comb it all the way through before you come.
    • Hair dry. Washed the day before is perfect.
    • No product in it. No grease, gel, mousse, or leave-in.

    If hair comes in wet, tangled, or full of product, I have to spend your appointment time fixing it — and that time comes out of your style.

    Good to know

    • I don't offer micro braids, dreads, or locs.
    • I buy the hair. It's included in your price unless we've talked about something special.
    • Deposits. Most longer styles need a deposit to hold your spot. It comes off your total.
    • Long styles start by 9:00 am. The big installs take most of a day, so they have to start early. Pick a morning slot.
    • After-hours fee. If we run past closing, it's $30 for up to two hours over and $50 beyond that.
    • Kids are welcome. Kids' pricing is for 10 and under.
    • I travel. Local events and softball tournaments — message me.
