What to Look For
Braiding skill varies more than most hair services—the braider's experience with YOUR hair type and the specific style matters. Look at salon reviews to see if others with similar hair texture have had good results. Ask about how long your style will take and how they handle maintenance. If you want to book ahead online, half the salons here offer that; the others are phone-only, but may have same-day openings.
The Braiding Scene in Salt Lake City
All four salons in this list have ratings, and they average 4.8 stars. You'll find reviews ranging from 50 to 198 per salon, so the bigger shops have more feedback to review. When you call or book, be clear about what you want: locs and certain braids require ongoing care, while fresh braids last weeks. Some salons also offer detangling or touch-ups, so ask when you reach out.
