Invisible Braids in LA?? - Example pic attached

Good Day Ladies!

I'm searching for a (reasonable) braiding place in LA to get some invisible braids done. I've been doing my own braids/twists for a while and I have some in now but in July when I take them out I'm thinking I want some kind of weave for a while.

Back when I lived in Jersey I used to go to an African shop to get my invisibles done. Now I've done some searching on the board and I'm not talking about "tree" braids here. I would part my hair and leave out the sections that I wanted for coverage (like with any weave). And then the braider would use human hair and braid like and inch before tying it in a tight knot. It looked better and was much less damaging than many of the weaves I've had (and I've had a lot, lol)
Below is a pic of what it looked like.

So I'm thinking I'd like to do this again but now that I'm natural I'll likely do it with kinky textured hair that will blend with my own and I can straighten if I feel like.

Ok Cali ladies... can anyone point me in the right direction or do I have to book a flight home to get my weave did?

Thanks y'all!

Will knotting the hair an inch from your scalp cause any damage when it's time to take them down?

Hi Cheetarah. I can only say that it didn't for me. And they don't actually put the knot in your hair. What the stylist did was wrap some of the extension hair around the braid a couple of times and then tied a knot in that. So when it was time to remove you just snip that knot and the braid comes right out not doing anything to your own hair. Plus, since it was human hair I made sure to wash and moisturize and everything else just like with my own hair.

It's looking more and more like I'll be flying to NJ this summer. LOL
