At Chi Bella Express, we’re not just pressing hair — we’re restoring confidence, one strand at a time. We specialize in fast, affordable, high-quality care for textured, natural hair that’s been overlooked, overworked, or simply in need of love. Whether you’re dealing with breakage, slow growth, heat damage, or just want your hair to finally
thrive
— we’ve got you.
Founded by Milan Junchlearn, a master stylist and industry powerhouse who built her first salon by 19 and now owns multiple thriving locations, Chi Bella Express brings premium products, express techniques, and real education to every appointment. Milan’s journey — from Thailand to New York to Maryland — and her decades of experience across hair, entrepreneurship, and women’s empowerment give our salon a soul, not just a service menu. From her natural haircare line to her upcoming reality show
“Hair Healing”
, everything Milan touches is about transformation — inside and out.
We’re not your average express salon. We’re your
go-to for healthy, radiant hair — fast.
Let’s grow together.
Let’s be honest—finding a reliable braider in Charlotte who’s on time, does quality work, and doesn’t make you prep your own hair has been tough. Long waits, rushed styles, and chaotic shops are all too common. That’s why we created Luxe Braid Bar—a peaceful, professional salon for women who want convenience, quality, and results. No prep. No stress. Just flawless styles done fast with real human hair, licensed stylists, and a luxury experience from start to finish.
See you soon,
Rebeka Marshall

The owner, Milan J, is very knowledgeable about hair care. She works hard to ensure all of the stylists at Chi Bella provide extraordinary customer service to all of Chi Bella's clients. ~Wanda Payne
I booked with Jada Jackson, whom I met a year ago walking around Bowie Town Center, and decided to give her a try today. I haven't had my hair professionally done in YEARS. She was professional, courteous, personable and very knowledgeable about my hair type and the type of services I needed to get my hair back on track. The salon is upscale and very spa-like with a very friendly and engaging staff from the owner down to the stylists. I've found my new hair home! ~Lark Adams
I'm so glad my mom and I stumbled on this shop. We happened to be walling by and looking at the services and the owner Milan pulled us in and talked to us about the salons specialties. The salon is focused on restoring and repairing natural hair health. I told Milan how I was interested in a lot of braided/twist updos. She suggested I make an appointment with Sasha. And let me tell you it was an incredible experience. They sit you down for a consultation about your goals and vision. Then you get a relaxing washing experience at the shampoo bowl with a massage chair (never had that before!). Sasha was kind, attentive, and helpful. She was personable and an ABSOLUTE GENIUS. My braids look incredible She took my idea and ran with it and even suggested adding gold thread to my hair because I wanted a more unique look for my upcoming conference. I'm truly in awe of the whole experience and look forward to my future appointments. -Shannon Farmer
