Hey, I'm Janay. I do locs, braids, wigs and protective styles, and I care about three things: healthy hair, clean parts, and a finish that holds up for weeks.
From your first starter locs to a full install, every client in my chair gets the same care. Your hair's health comes first, then a clean finish that lasts.
Locs
Locs
Start them, keep them healthy, or style over them.
Locs & retwistsNew growth is retwisted at the root so every loc looks neat, full and uniform again.
Starter locsThe start of your loc journey. Hair is sectioned, parted and started with the method that suits your texture and length.
Loc maintenanceRegular upkeep that keeps your locs healthy, separated and strong, with root care and loose hairs tidied.
Over locsBraids or twists installed over your existing locs, so you can wear a fresh style while your locs rest underneath.
Braids
Braids
Neat parts, even tension, and length that lasts.
Knotless braidsEach braid starts with your own hair and blends extensions in gradually, so there's no knot at the root. Lighter, flatter and easier on your scalp.
Box braidsClassic individual braids in clean, square parts. You choose the size, length and color.
CornrowsBraids laid flat to the scalp, straight back or in a design, with or without added hair.
Kids stylesBraids, cornrows and beads sized for kids, done with light tension to protect young edges.
Hair care & wigs
Hair care & wigs
Protect your hair between styles, or switch up your look.
Protective stylesStyles that tuck your ends away to cut down on breakage and give your natural hair a rest.
Natural hair careCare for your natural texture: cleansing, conditioning, detangling and styling that keeps hair healthy.
WigsLace front and other wig installs, plus styling, so your unit sits secure and the hairline looks natural.

About me
I'm Janay Lewis
I've been doing hair for more than 20 years. Locs, braids, wigs and kids styles are my lane, and my clients keep coming back because the work holds up and my chair feels like home.
Mz Purple ?? Braids & More is my business, and I built it one client at a time. When you book with me, you get me, start to finish.
Hair is my lane, but it's not all I do. If you need dependable help for your shoot, event, home or business, I've got you.

Help with the day to day: scheduling and reminders, errands, shopping and pickups, organizing your home or workspace, and keeping your week running smoothly. Hire me for a few hours, a day, or ongoing.
Cooking & meal prep
Home-cooked meals for families, gatherings and small events, plus weekly meal prep so your fridge is ready to go. I'm food handler certified, so your food is prepped and stored the safe way.

Drinks for private parties, birthdays, showers and events. I set up the bar, mix and serve, keep the line moving and the guests happy, and clean up when the night is done.
