Welcome to LI Queens
Beauty, Rooted in Artistry.
LI Queens African Hair Beauty Lounge is a studio for the hands-on crafts of African hairstyling: braiding, twisting, cornrows and loc work, for women and men.
Every style starts with a conversation about your hair, your routine and the look you want to leave with. We take our time with parting, tension and finish, so a protective style looks beautiful on the first day and still feels good weeks later.

The LI Queens Experience
More Than Beauty. An Experience.
A long braiding appointment is time you're giving us, so we make it count: a comfortable chair, a calm room, and a stylist who checks on tension and comfort as the work goes on.
Consultation first
We talk through length, size, parting and upkeep before anything begins.
Care in the details
Clean parts, even tension and neat ends, checked again before you leave.
Time that feels like yours
Read, take a call or rest. Appointments are paced for comfort.
Aftercare that lasts
You leave knowing how to wrap, wash and refresh your style at home.

About Us
Our Story
A lounge built around the crafts of African hair and the care of the people who wear it.
African hairstyling is one of the oldest beauty traditions in the world, passed hand to hand through generations.
LI Queens African Hair Beauty Lounge brings braiding, twisting and loc work together in one calm, considered space, for women and men.
We honor that inheritance with modern technique: careful sectioning, gentle tension, quality hair and products, and finishes that look as good in person as they do in photos. Whether you come in for knotless braids before a trip or a quick cornrow refresh on your lunch break, you get the same attention.
