From the people

Loved by the women who sit in my chair

I had such a wonderful first experience with Braids and Beauty by Mariama! Her service was exceptional, so warm, friendly, and professional from start to finish. She made me feel comfortable straight away, and the whole atmosphere was calm.

I got medium sized box braids by Mariama and her sister yesterday for the first time and they were absolutely amazing and lovely women! They made sure I was happy with the colours I chose.

I had such an amazing experience! Mariama is a fantastic hairdresser. She is very gentle, professional, and clearly skilled at what she does. She braided my hair beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The whole process was comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend if you are looking for quality braids!

Braids & Beauty by Mariama went above and beyond in offering quality and expert braiding service for my daughter and I. Very gentle hands, does not over-stretch the hair.

Meet Mariama

The woman behind the chair

I started as a freelance stylist with a bigger dream — a place where you can relax, feel beautiful and express your individuality through my craft. That place became Hair & Beauty by Mariama.

When you sit in my chair, you get my full attention, honest advice about your hair, and a style built to last. Come as you are — I'll take care of the rest.

Questions, answered

What if I need to reschedule?

You can reschedule up until 48hrs before your appointment. Check your confirmation email, find the rescheduling link at the bottom of the page, and change your date or time. If there's no availability, send an email or text for further assistance. P.s. You can only reschedule ONCE.

Can I still come to my appointment if I feel unwell?

No. You must reschedule or cancel if you have any symptoms or feel unwell.

Do you work with all types of hair?

Yes. If you have any concerns - alopecia, bleached scalp, short or extra-long hair, thin or thick hair - book a consultation before booking, or send a photo first.

Do you provide the braid extensions?

Extensions are included in all braids prices. For remy extensions and crochet, check with the salon for the cost - those are not included. You can bring your own extensions for remy and crochets. We only accept pre-stretched hair for braid extensions.

What is the required hair length?

Your hair must be at least 4 inches or longer - 6 inches minimum for two Dutch braids.

Can I bring my kids or others to my appointment?

Please come alone - a Covid precaution, and kids get bored while waiting.

What happens if I'm late?

Contact in advance via email or SMS. $20 late fee if more than 15 minutes late; the appointment may be cancelled if more than 30 minutes late.

Is washing my hair required?

Yes. All clients must arrive with hair thoroughly washed and blow-dried (no damp hair), clean and dandruff-free.

How long will my service take?

Review the duration listed on your service. Times may extend depending on the client's hair or the hairstyle.

What if I don't show up?

You'll be required to pay 50% of the service booked, and you'll be unable to make future appointments online.

Where can I find the address?

It's in your confirmation email. We are located at 33 Hadfield Road, Harkness VIC 3337.

Can I arrive early?

If you arrive earlier than your appointment time, please send a text notification.

How do I pay the balance?

Balance can be paid by Cash, PayID or PayPal.

How should I come to my appointment?

Well rested, well dressed (bright colors), positive vibes, picture ready! Snacks welcome.

Imagine it. I'll braid it.
