Empowering through Braids, Beauty, and Culture
At BXJ Braid Salon + Academy, we believe beauty is more than a style—it’s a source of strength, identity, and confidence. Crown Connect brings our expertise in braiding, hair care, and cultural heritage directly to schools, youth programs, and community organizations.

We bring hands-on learning, mentorship, and cultural pride to young people and women across Metro Detroit. Whether it’s teaching a simple braid, sharing the history of protective styles, or inspiring future beauty entrepreneurs, our goal is to connect, educate, and empower.
