I recently completed the Adult Braiding Program at the Youth Braiding Academy. The program gave me practical skills and confidence. The environment was positive and supportive. Thanks so much!

I had a great experience with Mrs. Dionne. The environment was great and I learned and expanded my skills with her teachings. I recommend coming if you're a beginner and even if you are experienced because there's a lot more to learn.

One-on-One Training Built Around You

This is a private class, so it is all about you. Pick up to three braiding techniques you want to learn, like knotless braids, feed-in cornrows, stitch braids or twists, and we build the session around your goals.

Brand new? We start with the basics. Already braiding? We sharpen your parting, speed and finish. Either way, you leave with skills you can use right away.

Close to Home in Henry County

We teach from the Lake Spivey area of Henry County and serve families from Jonesboro, Stockbridge, McDonough, Hampton, Morrow, Riverdale and Fayetteville. If you are on the south side of metro Atlanta, we are an easy drive away.
