What are you "fixing" in a natural long hair?

What would you like to do to it-- get it braided, get it relaxed, get a weave, e.t.c.? Do you have access to a car, or do you use public transit? There might be some options I could suggest, depending on your responses.
Re: Making Hair In Canada by talk2sindy: 10:35pm On Apr 24, 2012
I either want to braid it or get a weave and I use public transit...
Re: Making Hair In Canada by ifegy: 5:36pm On Apr 25, 2012
Ok; I'll make some inquiries and get back to you. What is the closest major intersection to you?

Hi OP, here are some options for you for weaves or braids:
1)This one seems close to Victoria Park and Eglinton. Her name is Annetta, Tel # 416-751-3910 address: 1533 O'connor Drive. She works by appointment so calling is a very good idea. Note: I'm not sure if she does braids, but you can check.

2) This one does braids and weaves. However it is in North York. It's really close to Sheppard subway station, though, so it's about an hour via transit: Loxx Hair Salon, 3 Spring Garden Ave, North York, 416 226 5699

3) I got a business card with just contact numbers with this one, so I'm not sure where she is based, but she does braids: 416 285 6518

Another option to consider- if you spot anyone with braids or weaves around, just ask where they got it done.

Hope this helps.

There are, for sure. Just talk to people that you see with braids to get a sense of the price range to charge; put up notices advertising your services, etc.

When u arrive in school, tell people u braid hair & start charging low for more customers. Im making enough money from braiding every weekend than my campus job. Some saturdays i cover up to 5 heads depending on the styles. Most students cant afford braids so they always fix weaves. Dont focus on naija peeps becos they will keep pricing low. Talk to other blacks like jamaicans & co in Church, give ur number to peeps in the mall & everywhere u go. When i first started i used to charge $40 but now its $60 and up for weaving & $150 & up for braids. Bring xpression becos they don't know it. I sell 2 pcks for $16. Theres no way u won't find customers unless black people re not living there. If u have money print bizness cards for more publicity.
