Unruly | African Braiders in LA (2024)

Book a licensed mobile braider that slays your hair, not your edges.

Founded by two Nigerian sisters, Unruly offers thoroughly vetted mobile stylists so you can get your hair braided at home without any worry or travel.

Imagine waking up one day and…

• A skilled stylist arrives at your doorstep ready to work their magic.
• You say to yourself, the convenience is real–no scrambling to go to the hair braiding shop only to wait even though you have an appointment;
• No being left sitting while she does another head. Your stylist is focused on you and only you.
• And you didn’t even have to search for this magician who handled your 4c hair with care! Someone else did all the searching and vetting for you.
• You’re getting knotless box braids, which takes time, but you’re at home, and there’s no place like home. Your home is comfortable; your home is private; your home is yours. Plus, you can get a little work done while she braids.
• When she’s done, you’re feeling yourself and not any pain. You’ll sleep well tonight and not have to do your hair in the morning.

This dream can be your reality when you book with Unruly! Simply pick a style, a date and time and we’ll come to you.

At-home hair styling is nothing new, but we’re doing things differently

• No Aspirin needed. Our stylists live and breathe the philosophy that braids don’t have to hurt.
• Flexible scheduling. Get styled at a time that works for you and reschedule up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
• Your hair now has a team. You’ve not just found one good stylist, you’ve found 30! Plus, you'll enjoy customer support and content that'll inspire and empower your hair journey.
• We know what your hair means to you. With over a decade of experience, we’ve combined our knowledge of the science, practice, emotion, culture and politics of Black hair into this service.
• We know what you look for in a great stylist. It’s not just technique. When vetting potential stylists, we look for professionals that are friendly, communicate well, listen, welcome feedback and are passionate about hair.

But wait, African braiders cost less

We love our fellow braiders and we'll be the first to admit we can’t beat their prices. So, if you’re looking for low-cost braiding, they’re your best bet. But consider what those short-term savings might cost you in the long run if:

• you’re hair is braided so tightly you begin losing your edges
• you’re booked with a braider that hasn’t learned standard hygiene practices required through licensing
• your braider doesn’t listen and you end up not liking how your hair turns out after sitting for hours
