The artist

This is not just braiding. It is art.

Plenty of people can braid. Very few can see a style once and recreate it, or design one from nothing.

I

Clean lines

Look at the parts between the braids. Every line is sharp and every braid is even. That precision is the signature.

II

Any style, made yours

Bring a photo or just an idea. I can recreate a look I have seen once, or create something new on the spot.

III

Chosen for your face

I look at your face, your features and your hair, then tell you which style will look best on you.

How your visit works

Unhurried from start to finish

Six simple steps, so you always know what comes next.

  1. We talk first

    We start with a conversation about your hair type, the style you have in mind and anything I should know. We look at braid styles, lengths and colors that suit your face and your personality.

  2. We prepare your hair

    Once we settle on a style, I wash, condition and detangle your hair, then apply a protective oil or serum to your hair and scalp so everything stays hydrated while we work.

  3. We braid, section by section

    I use quality braiding hair and work in neat sections so every braid is secure and consistent. I watch the tension closely. Braids should never pull or hurt.

  4. We style it your way

    When the braids are done, we shape the look together. That might mean trimming to your length, adding beads or creating a pattern that is yours alone.

  5. We finish with shine

    A light-hold finishing spray or oil adds shine and keeps frizz away. Then you see the full result in the mirror.

  6. You leave with a plan

    You get simple aftercare instructions so your braids last and keep their shape. Questions after you go home are always welcome.

The whole visit is meant to feel relaxing and stress-free, in a clean space with quality products and tools.

About Eva

Hi, it's your girl Eva

Hair is one of my favorite things to talk about, and braiding is a craft with centuries of history behind it.

Braids were never just a cute style. They carried meaning, community and identity. I treat every appointment with that respect, and I want you to sit back, exhale and leave feeling cared for.

I am Ev'. I am a detail braider in Crotona, Bronx, and I specialize in knotless and close braids. Travel service is available.
