Meet the Team: Licensed Stylists Behind Braids of Katy

At Braids of Katy, we believe your hair deserves the best. That’s why every stylist on our team is either a licensed cosmetologist or has extensive professional experience.  We bring professional training and a passion for hair care to every appointment.

More Than Just Braiders—We’re Licensed Cosmetologists

In the world of hair braiding, it’s not uncommon to find talented hands without formal licensure. But here’s the truth: when you book with a licensed cosmetologist, you're getting more than skill—you’re getting peace of mind.

Licensed cosmetologists must complete extensive training in scalp health, sanitation, hygiene, hair anatomy, and proper technique. This training ensures they know how to protect the health of your natural hair while creating beautiful, lasting styles.

It’s more than just knowing how to part and braid—it’s appreciating how to care for your hair underneath.

Why Licensing Matters for Your Hair’s Health

Braiding can be a protective and empowering style—but only when done correctly. We all know people who have been victims of too-tight braids, improper installations, and unsanitary tools. The result is often serious damage, including breakage, scalp irritation, and  hair loss.

That’s where licensed cosmetologists make a difference. Our team understands how to braid safely and effectively, taking your hair's health, texture, and growth goals into account. From washing and conditioning to tension control and parting, we’re trained to give your hair the respect it deserves.

Our cosmetology license also means we’re held to professional sanitation standards. That means using clean, sanitized tools and maintaining a safe and welcoming salon environment every time you visit.
