Taji Natural Hair Styling operates from two locations, one on Sawmill Road in North Raleigh and one on Durham Chapel Hill Boulevard in Durham. The salon serves natural hair specifically, with trained and licensed natural-hair artists (North Carolina has a specific licensing track for natural hair styling, distinct from the general cosmetology license). The Raleigh location sits in a Six Forks-adjacent retail corridor; the Durham location is on a busier commercial stretch closer to the I-40 connector.
The service catalog is wider than most natural-hair salons in the area. Locs are the standout, with bridal locs, micro locs, and loc extensions all listed as distinct services rather than folded into a single locs category. Protective styling runs through knotless braids, two-strand twists, and cornrowing. The salon also serves children’s hair as a named specialty and works with clients on transitioning from chemically relaxed to natural, which is a months-long process most salons don’t take on.
A dedicated Scalp Wellness category sits in the salon’s nav, separate from the styling and locs work. The Bridal booking flow runs through its own intake page rather than the general appointment system. Hours are wider than most Raleigh salons, open Monday through Sunday, with Saturday and Sunday opening at 7am. The early-weekend hours serve clients who need long-form services on the weekend without burning a full day. Booking is through the salon’s own site.
