Shaunda Waters
Braider, twists
Passion, spring and Senegalese twists, and two-strand twists on natural hair. Tuesday to Friday.
Service
Twists, crochet and locs
Styles twisted or looped in, and a retwist for locs you already have. Some use your own hair alone and some add hair.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants a softer, lighter style than braids, or a pause between braid sets. Twists on natural hair are the quickest way in. Locs are retwisted at the root, with your braider and a fine comb.
Added hair or your own
Two-strand twists use only your hair. Passion, spring and Senegalese twists add hair for length and volume. Crochet braids loop a pack of hair onto cornrows laid underneath.

What sets the time and the price
Before you pick a size
Natural or added hair
Twists on natural hair take the least time. Added-hair twists and crochet take longer.
Part size and length
Smaller parts and longer twists take more of the day.
Locs
A retwist depends on how many locs you have and how far they have grown out between visits.
Added hair is an extension, so how it sits varies with your hair and how you wear it.
Who braids this
Two braiders for twists and crochet
Racquel Codrington
Braider, crochet and loc retwists
Crochet braids, loc retwists and braided updos. Racquel also does the wash and blow-dry before a long style. Wednesday to Saturday.
Questions about this style
Do you do starter locs?
Starter locs are planned with Racquel in a consultation first. Message us and she will reply with a time.
How often is a retwist?
It depends on how fast your hair grows and how you wear your locs; your braider will suggest a schedule at the chair.
Do I bring the hair for crochet?
Either works. Tell us at booking and we'll say how many packs and which shade.
