The Styles
Cornrows are close-to-scalp three-strand braids braided in rows or custom patterns. Using an underhand motion, the braider works the hair flat against the scalp to build neat, even tracks that can run straight back, curve, or form geometric designs. They're one of the most versatile and enduring African braiding styles — low-maintenance, protective, and built to hold for weeks.
Stitch braids are a modern cornrow technique that uses a threading method to shape each row. Instead of braiding flat, the braider threads and feeds the hair to create ultra-clean, raised, well-defined lines with a sculpted, polished finish. The result is thicker, more pronounced rows that stand off the scalp and catch the light — a bolder take on the classic cornrow.
Both styles are versatile, low-maintenance, and typically last 2–4 weeks with proper care — nightly wrapping and a little scalp moisturizing keep them looking fresh.
Our Work
Every style is braided by hand with even tension and clean parting. Pricing starts here — final cost depends on length and design complexity.
Classic rows braided straight back from the hairline — clean, even, and timeless. The foundation style that never goes out of fashion.
Zig-zag, curved, and geometric patterns braided close to the scalp for a one-of-a-kind look that turns heads.
Modern threading technique that builds thick, raised, razor-defined rows with a polished, long-lasting finish.
Sharp, structured cornrows built for short to mid-length hair — clean lines and a fresh, masculine finish.
Hair is gradually fed into each row for a seamless, natural root that protects your edges and lays flat.
Bold, thick cornrows that start slim and build volume — a striking protective style with serious presence.
Find Your Fit
Both are close-to-scalp braided styles — the difference is in the technique and the finish. Here's how to choose.
you want a timeless, low-profile look — straight backs, simple patterns, or a classic everyday style that lays flat and lasts.
you want bold, raised, ultra-defined rows that make a statement — thicker lines with a modern, sculpted finish.
How It Works
We talk through your style, hair length, and the look you're after — straight backs, a custom design, or raised stitch braids — and map out the rows before we start.
Your braider parts, sections, and braids with even tension and clean parting, whether it's a traditional underhand cornrow or a threaded stitch technique.
We seal the ends, refine the edges, and walk you through aftercare so your cornrows or stitch braids stay sharp for the full 2 to 4 weeks.
