The Braiders Lounge

Extended hours

Early-Morning & Late-Evening Braiding in Somerset, NJ

Braiding takes hours, and most salons close before you finish work. The Braiders Lounge is open seven days a week from 8:00am to 8:00pm — so you can start at eight in the morning and be done by lunch, or take an evening chair after your shift. We're on Franklin Boulevard in Somerset, NJ, minutes from New Brunswick, Piscataway and Edison.

Suite 3, 727 Franklin Boulevard, Somerset, NJ 08873 Open 7 days · 8am–8pm

8:00am starts, every day

An early chair means even a long install finishes in daylight. Weekends included.

Evening appointments

We take bookings up to 8:00pm, so shorter styles and maintenance can happen after work.

Seven days a week

Monday through Sunday. Saturday and Sunday chairs go first, so book those ahead.

Finish faster with extra stylists

Add a second or third braider to your booking to cut a long install down dramatically.

Planning a long install around your day

  • Extra small and small knotless are the longest sits — book the earliest chair of the day.
  • Medium and large sizes, stitch braids and cornrows fit comfortably into an afternoon or evening.
  • Retwists, loc maintenance and takedowns are the easiest services to slot in after work.
  • Adding stylists is the fastest way to shorten a full-day style into a half-day one.

Are you open 24 hours?

No — we don't braid overnight. Our hours are 8:00am to 8:00pm, seven days a week, which covers the earliest and latest chairs most clients need. If you're searching for 24-hour braiders because your day doesn't allow a normal appointment, an 8:00am weekend start or a weekday evening slot usually solves it. Call us and we'll help you find the time that works.

Making a long appointment comfortable

  • Two private rooms are available as a $60 add-on, with complimentary non-alcoholic wine and champagne.
  • Services over $300 include complimentary drinks.
  • Bring a charger and something to watch — long installs go faster with a distraction.
  • Eat before you arrive, and let your stylist know when you need a break.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

What time do you open and close?
We're open 8:00am to 8:00pm, Monday through Sunday.
Do you offer 24-hour or overnight braiding?
No. Our latest appointment finishes by 8:00pm. For very long installs, book the earliest chair of the day or add extra stylists to shorten the sit.
Can I book an appointment after work?
Yes. Evening chairs work well for cornrows, stitch braids, larger knotless sizes, retwists and maintenance. Longer installs are better started in the morning.
Are you open on weekends?
Yes, Saturday and Sunday, same 8:00am to 8:00pm hours. Weekend times book out first.
How much faster is it with extra stylists?
Two braiders working together cut chair time substantially, and a three-stylist express option is available for the longest styles. Exact timing is confirmed when you book.
