Natural hair health first. Precision technique. All textures welcome at Mitzs Trendi Hair Care and Spa.
Protective styling is one of the most powerful tools for maintaining healthy natural hair. When done correctly, styles like box braids and locs tuck away fragile ends, reduce daily manipulation, and give hair the rest it needs to retain length and density. But the word "protective" only holds true when the technique behind it is sound. A style that looks stunning on day one can quietly cause serious damage if the installation is rushed or careless.
The most common issues our clients come to us with stem from poor braiding done elsewhere — excessive tension at the root that strains follicles, uneven section sizes that stress certain areas of the scalp more than others, and skipped prep work that leaves hair braided on top of buildup or tangles. Over time, these habits lead to breakage, thinning edges, and in the worst cases, traction alopecia. These aren't cosmetic problems. They're a direct result of technique cutting corners.
At Mitzs Trendi Hair Care and Spa in Stonecrest, GA, our skilled team of professionals approaches every braiding and loc service with a foundation-first mindset. That means a thorough hair assessment before we touch a single strand, a proper cleanse and condition, deliberate tension management throughout the install, and real aftercare guidance before you leave the chair. Whether you're coming in for classic box braids, crochet braids, individual braids, loc installation, or ongoing loc maintenance, the process is the same: your hair health comes before speed.

The classic square-parted braid that never goes out of style. Box braids offer exceptional versatility in length, thickness, and color — from waist-length jumbo braids to precise small-sized knotless installs. Our team uses clean, even parting and controlled tension throughout to protect your edges and ensure a style that holds without putting your natural hair at risk.
Pre-looped hair extensions are attached to a base of flat cornrows using a latch hook, creating a full, natural-looking style in significantly less time than traditional braids. Crochet braids are excellent for clients who want a protective style with a lighter weight and a faster install. We prep the cornrow base carefully to ensure it lies flat and sits comfortably without pulling.
Individual braids are smaller single braids installed without a cornrow base, offering fine detail, full flexibility of movement, and the ability to achieve impressive length. Because each braid is started close to the scalp, precision and even tension are especially important — skills our team takes seriously on every install to prevent scalp stress and uneven wear over time.
Starting locs is a commitment to a lifestyle of natural hair growth, and the foundation you set at installation determines everything that follows. We offer several starter methods including two-strand twists, interlocking, and palm rolling — all tailored to your hair type, density, and texture goals. We'll walk you through the maturation stages so you know exactly what to expect as your locs develop.
Healthy, well-maintained locs require regular care to stay neat, hydrated, and strong. Our loc maintenance services include retwisting, palm rolling, interlocking tightening, and a thorough scalp assessment to check for buildup, dryness, or tension issues. Whether your locs are weeks old or years in, we treat every appointment as a continuation of your long-term natural hair journey.
Braiding and loc services are only as good as the care behind them. At Mitzs Trendi, our team prioritizes scalp health at every step of the install — evaluating tension as we work, adjusting our technique based on your hair's response, and never sacrificing your edges for the sake of a tighter finish. We use quality extensions chosen to complement your natural texture, not overwhelm it. Every client — regardless of hair type — receives the same focused, unhurried attention. We believe natural hair deserves professionals who actually understand it, and that shows in every service we offer.
Before any braiding or loc work begins, your stylist will assess your hair type, density, scalp condition, and any areas of concern. This conversation shapes every decision we make during the install — from the size and tension of your style to the extensions we recommend. We never skip this step.
Healthy braids and locs start on a clean scalp. We shampoo to remove product buildup, excess oil, and debris that can weaken the foundation of your style — then follow with a conditioning treatment to restore moisture and improve elasticity before braiding begins. Braiding over uncleaned hair is one of the most common causes of scalp issues we see, so this step is non-negotiable.
This is where skill and patience meet. Your stylist works with clean, consistent sections, calibrated tension, and steady focus throughout the entire install. For loc services, we take extra care to set the right foundation or properly tighten existing growth without stressing the shaft. We do not rush this process — every strand matters.
Before you leave, your stylist will walk you through how to care for your style at home — including how to moisturize, wrap at night, manage scalp dryness, and know when to come back for a touch-up. Good aftercare is half the life of a protective style, and we want yours to last as long as possible.
