ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Beautiful hair is rooted in a healthy scalp and balance starts within.
We believe the best way to combat hair loss is through total body wellness.

Hair is more than what you see on the surface, it's closely tied to your overall health, and thrives when the follicle is supported, the strand is protected, and the body is in balance.


THE STORY OF BRAIDS & BALANCE


We began as Braided Beauties in 2018, rooted in the art of braiding and protective styling. As the years passed and education in hair loss, scalp health, and wellness expanded, our vision evolved. Today, we proudly serve as Braids & Balance Hair loss Studio, where hair care is approached through a deeper understanding of health and balance.

At Braids & Balance, hair loss is addressed through scalp health, total body wellness, and intentional protective styling. We believe hair is deeply connected to overall health, confidence, and identity. That is why we provide authentic protective styles paired with personalized care plans designed to support growth, restore balance, and reduce damage.

Founded by Satura Mathis, our studio blends a lifelong passion for braiding with advanced education in trichology and non invasive hair restoration. Her journey, from learning to braid in her family’s kitchen to pursuing functional trichology, shapes the wellness based care we provide today.

Our goal is to create an experience that nurtures the scalp, strengthens the hair, and empowers every client through education and wellness focused support. Through Braided Beauties Academy, we also educate youth and adults, building skill, confidence, and pathways into beauty and wellness entrepreneurship.

We are your home for beauty, wellness, and education.

Meet the Founder


Satura fell in love with braiding in the fifth grade after watching her aunt and cousin braid hair in their kitchen. She taught herself the skill and spent her middle and high school years braiding friends and others in her community, eventually using braiding to provide for her children through her high school and college years.

In 2017, she began helping women experiencing hair loss by creating styles that restored confidence. Her interest in scalp health grew, leading her to complete several hair loss courses becoming a Certified Hair loss Practitioner and Trichology Practitioner. She is now studying to become a Functional Trichologist and Holistic Health Practitioner because she believes healthy hair starts with a healthy body.

In 2020, she began teaching braid classes after parents asked her to teach their children the skills she shared with her daughter. Today, she empowers youth in the community and schools to build confidence, learn a valuable skill, and step into entrepreneurship just as she did.

As the founder of Braided Beauties by Satura Styles, she is now rebranding to Braids & Balance Hairloss Studio, your home for beauty and wellness while guiding the next generation through braid education and mentorship.

Michelle Jennings
I've been coming to Satura for over 2 years. She's the only braider I've been to since moving to Charleston. This is my second time getting faux locs from Satura, and once again, the finished look is absolutely beautiful. I hadn’t even had them in for two hours before the compliments started coming. I’m truly pleased with my locs. I feel confident, grateful, and so glad I chose this style again. Highly recommend Satura’s work!
