About Braids by Candiss
Built from passion. Driven by community.
Braids by Candiss is more than a salon — it's a movement to make sure every client gets served and every braid professional gets the opportunity to grow.
The story
Why Candiss built the network
Candiss has been braiding hair for over 20 years. She's worked with clients of all backgrounds — men, women, children — and built a reputation for excellence, care, and artistry.
But as her business grew, so did the waitlist. Clients would call, and she'd have to turn them away. That never sat right with her.
So she built the referral network — a curated circle of vetted braid professionals she trusts personally. When Candiss can't take a client, she doesn't just say no. She connects them with someone who can.
The result is a community where no client goes without a stylist, and no braid professional misses an opportunity to grow their business.
