The Spot Braiding Bar was founded in 2018 by Ianis Catan.

The Concept was to find a way to respond to a high demand of quick hair braiding needs and also to share and develop the African hair culture. 

Ianis the founder was born and raised in France of Afro Caraïbes descent. 

She culturally was entangled in the hair process from her younger age.

While doing hair as a side activity in Toronto, the demand was incredible and kept increasing. So many different backgrounds were interested and were curious about her hairstyles and culture that she thought it could be a great Idea to open Braiding Bars as pop ups with an Afrocentric atmosphere where clients will be able to experience a braided hairstyle and some flavors from Africa and the Carribeans.

Keep an eye out for where we will be next in Toronto!

All you have to do is to come to the booth, select the hairstyle of your choice and get your hair braided.

The Spot is a Great Substitute to a hair salon, it is effective, you do not need an appointment and everyone is welcome.

The Spot Braiding Bar has successfully collaborated with AFWM (The African Fashion Week Montreal), The college Boreal Toronto and diverse photoshoots across Canada.
