THE BRAIDING LOUNGE SALON

The Braiding Lounge Salon is a hair salon that specializes in braiding services and other natural hair care treatments.

I have created multiple visual assets including illustrations, social media and marketing graphics. Additionally, the salon requested a mobile responsive website to effectively show their services and gain a larger customer base.

Website Design

For the salon’s website, I led both design and development using Figma and the Square native builder. I began with wireframes to map out the layout and user flow, focusing on responsiveness across devices. I selected a color palette and typography that reflected the salon’s unique vibe, ensuring consistent branding throughout. Collaboration with the client was ongoing, with feedback integrated at every stage to refine both layout and functionality.

Because Square’s website builder has some creative limitations, we designed the site with future scalability in mind. Once the salon is ready to upgrade to a more flexible platform, I’ll return to enhance its features and fully customize the experience.

Illustrations & Graphics

In addition to the website, I created nine custom illustrations that captured the brand’s inclusive messaging. These were used across window and wall decals, as well as a mural behind the sales counter. The window decals featured recolored versions of my Our Hair ABCs series. I also designed social media posts, motion and marketing graphics to support the salon’s promotions and online presence.
