About
The Collective!
Where Community Began with a Simple Belief
It started in Los Angeles with a bold idea: braiders deserved better. When we opened BraidHouse in 2024, we weren't just creating flexible salon space—we were answering a call from braiders tired of working in isolation, undervaluing their craft, and struggling to build businesses their talent deserved.
The Magic We WitnessedSomething beautiful happened in those early days. Braiders who came in as strangers became collaborators. Individual appointments evolved into community celebrations.
This is a workspace where braiders find their tribe.
Our community spoke, and we listened. They loved the physical space but craved connection beyond four walls. They wanted to learn from creatives nationwide, find business strategies that worked, and build support systems that understood their journey.
From Space to Movement
The Collective was born from this truth: the most successful braiders are also the most connected.
What started as one LA salon space has become the first nationwide community built specifically for professional braiders. Here, knowledge flows freely, businesses thrive, and authentic relationships span thousands of miles.
Changing the NarrativeWe're on a mission to transform how the world sees braiders—from unprofessional stereotypes to the skilled artists and entrepreneurs we know you are.
By empowering braiders through community, education, tools, and resources, we naturally elevate the entire client experience.
When braiders are confident in their pricing, equipped with professional systems, and supported by peers, clients receive exceptional service that reflects the true artistry of our craft.
Your Story Starts HereFrom our humble beginning as a single salon space to launching a nationwide community that can serve thousands, one thing remains constant: we believe braiders deserve to thrive, not just survive. Whether you're perfecting your first cornrow or expanding to multiple locations, you belong here. This is The Collective.
This is where braiders find their home, their community, their success.
Welcome to where your story continues.
