Trust & Safety

Your safety is our most important commitment.

Trust is the foundation WeBraids is built on. Every policy here exists because Black women deserve to feel completely safe — whether booking a braider or welcoming one into their home.

1. Braider verification

Every Braider undergoes a rigorous verification process before going live. No Braider can take a booking until all checks are complete — identity, right to work, optional DBS, and optional professional insurance.

ID Verified

Identity confirmed via government ID and live selfie.

Right to Work

Legal right to work in the UK confirmed.

DBS Checked

Enhanced DBS certificate provided and verified.

Insured

Professional liability insurance confirmed.

Community Trusted

50+ verified 5-star reviews from real bookings.

2. Review & rating integrity

Every review on WeBraids comes from a verified, completed booking. Reviews show first name, style booked, and city — giving real context. Any attempt to manipulate reviews results in immediate account suspension.

3. Home safety features

Share your booking

Send your appointment details — braider name, photo, verified status, time — to a trusted contact from the app.

Live booking status

Your nominated contact gets notified when your appointment starts and ends.

In-app safety button

One tap to contact WeBraids safety support — or dial 999 in an emergency.

4. Community standards

Zero tolerance for racial, sexual or any discriminatory harassment, abuse, unwanted contact, or coercion. Violations result in immediate suspension and may be reported to authorities. Both Clients and Braiders are expected to treat each other with dignity and respect.

5. Reporting an incident

Emergency

Call 999 immediately.

Urgent safety concern

6. Payment safety

All transactions are processed through our PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure. WeBraids never handles cash. Off-platform payments are not protected by our refund policy.

7. Data & privacy safety

Braiders never see a Client's full address until a Booking is confirmed. Address data is stored securely and never sold or shared with third parties.
