How it works

One marketplace, three ways to use it

Whether you run a salon, braid for a living, or are booking your next style, braid.el connects you directly — no middlemen, no runaround.

01

Create your profile

Set up your salon or braider profile in minutes — showcase your work and tell the community who you are.

02

Post or apply

Salon owners post staffing opportunities. Braiders browse, filter by specialty and location, and apply with one tap.

03

Match & connect

Message directly in-platform, review portfolios, and confirm arrangements — no middlemen, no fees on Phase 1.

Choose your path

For salons

Post open chairs or staffing opportunities, browse verified braiders by specialty and location, and message candidates directly to arrange interviews or trials.

For braiders

Build a portfolio, get discovered by salons and clients searching by style, and apply to opportunities that fit your schedule and specialty.

For clients

Search braiders and salons by style, read verified reviews, and book directly with the person doing your hair — no back-and-forth.
