I use to live in Wharton. I few girls I worked with were good at braiding. What you can do is google black hair salons or befriend ppl (black girls) on myspace or facebook and ask them. I ve done that a few times and found a really good girl in Cali :)
Most hair salons do braids. I always go when I want a french braid b/c I nor neither of my friends can do it.
