MeLex braids is a hair salon at 7 Slim Place in Clendon Park, Manukau City, specialising in braided styles. Its two Google reviews average 3.0, with one customer noting replies to messages took a couple of days, so it may be worth allowing time when getting in touch.
Braiding is slow, skilled work: a full head can take several hours, and a good braider will talk through your reference photo, hair length and parting before starting. Styles can last anywhere from two to eight weeks with care, so wrapping hair at night and keeping the scalp moisturised go a long way. Tension matters too: neat braids shouldn't leave the hairline sore, so speak up during the appointment if the pull feels too tight.
For braided styles in South Auckland, MeLex braids is a local option on Slim Place in Clendon Park.
