A piece of African heritage on Bloor
JBI is a family-run salon dedicated to traditional African hair braiding. Our braiders and stylists have worked side by side for years, and that shows in the calm, friendly feel of the salon.
Everyone is welcome — women, men and children, whatever your background or hair type.
Your style, the way you want it
Your vision is our priority. We listen, understand and deliver, so you walk out with a look that's perfectly you.
Only thoroughly experienced braiders
Every braider on our team has years of hands-on experience.
Authentic, family-oriented salon
Built purely off of family — a warm, welcoming space from the moment you arrive.
Kind words
From our clients
"This beautiful lady Jeannie really did an amazing job on my baby girl's hair for her birthday 🎂 she made my beautiful daughter feel so happy and confident — my daughter hasn't got out of the mirror since! Very professional and very fair, she is respectful, charismatic, and has a beautiful personality to match. VERY PLEASED."
"I just moved to Toronto from NYC, got my cornrows done here after reading great reviews… WOW! I am so happy with the amazing service. Junie was fast, gentle and very detailed. I felt so welcomed. Can't wait to come back!"
"Wow! To say I am happy is an understatement! My previous braider cancelled last minute and Junie was able to fit both me and my friend in with such short notice. She gave me the best braids I could've asked for (and more)."
