Our Story

About Candy Couture

Where art meets culture, and every client leaves feeling like royalty.

Candy Couture

Rooted in the Bronx

Candy Couture was built on a simple belief: protective hairstyling is a form of self-care and self-expression. Based in the heart of the Bronx at 1461 Story Ave, we specialize in braids, twists, and locs that not only look stunning but protect and nurture your natural hair.

Every client who sits in our chair gets our full attention, creativity, and care. Whether you're getting your first set of knotless braids or coming back for your monthly retwist, you'll be treated like family — every single time.

We believe in healthy hair first. Our approach to every install starts with your hair health in mind, using techniques that minimize tension, protect your edges, and keep your kinks and coils thriving between appointments.

What We Stand For

🌿

Hair Health First

We install with care — minimizing tension, protecting edges, and preserving your natural texture through every braid and twist.

Artistry & Precision

Every part, every braid, every loc is done with intention. We don't rush perfection — we take the time to get it right.

💖

Community & Culture

We're proud to serve the Bronx community. Braiding is cultural heritage, and we honor that with every client we welcome.

🌿 Haircare Tips

Sleep with a silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase to reduce frizz and friction
Moisturize your scalp weekly with a light oil (jojoba, tea tree, or peppermint)
Avoid excessive tension on your edges — be gentle when styling
Keep protective styles in for no more than 8 weeks to avoid buildup and damage
Spray your braids with a diluted leave-in conditioner to keep them fresh
Rinse your scalp gently between appointments if needed — do not shampoo with braids in
Pat dry (never rub) your braids after getting them wet
