Some specialists do. Penda Fall, Krystal Smith-McCray, LaRonda McCray, Madison Taylor and Asia Marie each publish a deposit requirement on their own policy. Nothing is charged when you book online: a deposit like this is paid at the shop, so bring it with you.

1731 Risley Rd, Columbia, SC 29223. Open Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM.

Elite Barber & Beauty | Barber & Salon in Columbia SC

Q: How far ahead should I book?

Krystal and LaRonda book through KLASC Braiding Spalon, which asks for at least 24 hours notice and takes no same day appointments. Arriving more than 15 minutes late means rescheduling. The other specialists publish no separate notice rule, so their calendar simply shows whatever times are still open.

Q: Do you take walk ins?

The house runs on appointments, booked online with your specialist, your service and your time already picked. For braids and locs, plan at least a day ahead. If you are nearby and hoping for something today, call (803) 661-7999 and ask what is still open.

Q: How do I pick a specialist?

Open the team page. Every profile carries that specialist's own work, their real prices, their client reviews and how long they usually take, so you can choose the chair before you choose the time. Or take first available and we will seat you sooner.

Q: Why do some services have no price?

Facials, Gold Grills and Teeth Whitening are quoted at consultation, because the work is fitted to you rather than sold off a menu. Book the consultation and you leave with your exact quote.

“Very professional and Krystal makes it easy to do business! I’m always in and out in 1-2 hours. I’ve been a customer for over 4 years. I use to get braids and now I am getting my locs washed, re-twisted and styled. Go check her out!”
