Styled&Served.

Braids, twists, silk press and event styling — every texture, every age. And when the day needs a dessert table too, I make that by hand as well. Chocolate-covered strawberries, hand-dipped treats and full dessert tables, matched to your colors. And when the day needs hair too, that’s me as well.

Hair

Braids, twists, silk press, natural hair care and event styling — every texture, every age. Styles built to last the whole day, not just the photos.

Hair

The style has to survive the whole day.

Anybody can make hair look good for a picture. The real test is hour six — after the ceremony, the dancing, the humidity and the hugging. That's what I build for.

Knotless braids with curled ends
Knotless braids · recent work

Braids that lay right and last.

Parts straight, tension right, edges protected. A style is only worth what it looks like two weeks in — so I braid for the second week, not just the first day.

Bring me an inspiration photo and I’ll tell you honestly whether it will work with your length and density, and what it will take to get there.

Braids & twistsBox braids, knotless, feed-ins, twists and cornrows. Set at a tension that protects your edges instead of pulling them.
Silk press & blowoutsSmooth, moving press with heat protection, done so your curl pattern comes back when you wash.
Natural hair careWash days, detangling, deep conditioning and styling that works with your texture rather than against it.
LocsStarting, retwisting and maintaining locs at whatever stage yours are in.
Event & updo stylingBridal, prom and photo styles — pinned, sprayed and built to hold from the first photo to the last song.
Kids & teensBack-to-school styles, birthday braids, dance and graduation looks. Gentle, patient, and no fighting the comb.
Pricing is quoted after we talk. Length, density and how long a style takes all move the number, so I confirm before I start — never after. Text a photo of your hair and the look you want to (813) 810-7547 and I’ll send back a price and a time.
Hand-dipped treats

Dipped by hand. Finished in gold.

Strawberries and treats dipped to order, never sitting in a case. Tell me your colors and I'll match them — sprinkles, drizzle, edible pearls, gold dust, monograms and full dessert tables.

Strawberries dipped in white chocolate with almond pieces

Chocolate strawberries finished with cookie crumb and rainbow sprinkles

Real orders, dipped by hand. Milk, dark and white chocolate with almond, cookie crumb, sprinkles and drizzle.

Every order is made fresh for your date. Prices depend on quantity, chocolate and how detailed the finish is, so tell me your headcount, your colors and your date and I'll quote it. Two weeks' notice is best for large orders and dessert tables.
Events

One person for the hair and the table.

Most people book two vendors for this and spend the week before chasing both. Book them together and it's one conversation, one timeline, one set of colors.

Weddings & bridal showers Sweet sixteens Prom & homecoming Graduations Birthdays Baby showers & gender reveals Church events & anniversaries Valentine's & Mother's Day Back to school School events & fundraisers Corporate & office parties
Booking both saves you money. When I'm already doing the hair for an event, the treat order comes at a bundled rate. Ask about it when you send your date.
For teens

Your sweet sixteen should look like you.

Prom, homecoming, graduation, sweet sixteens and birthdays — with hair and a treat table that match your theme down to the sprinkle color. Bring me your inspiration pictures. Bring me your whole Pinterest board. I'd rather you be specific.

About Shekinah

I make things beautiful for the days that matter.

Hair and dessert look like two different businesses until you've planned an event. Then you realize they're the same job: making somebody feel like the day was worth all the trouble.

Shekinah McCook

Hi — I’m Shekinah.

I started dipping strawberries for people I loved and doing hair for people who trusted me, and somewhere in there it became a business. Shekinah’s Sweets LLC is both of those things under one roof.

I work with schools on fundraisers, with families on birthdays and graduations, and with brides on the whole day — hair in the morning, dessert table by the evening.

Se habla español. Escríbeme y con gusto te atiendo en español.

Everybody's welcome in my chair I work with every texture, every age and every budget. A lot of my clients are teenagers and their moms, and I take a sixteen-year-old's vision as seriously as a bride's — because to her, it's just as big a day.
You'll know the price before I start No surprise numbers at the end, on either side of the business. I quote after I see what you want, and the number I give you is the number you pay.

Payment & deposits
Cash App to $yofavkinah7. Treat orders and event bookings are held with a deposit, with the balance due on the day. I’ll confirm the exact amount when I quote you.

Large treat orders and dessert tables book out first — two weeks’ notice is best. Hair appointments are usually available sooner.
