Cornrow City is a hair salon located in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans and the Voodoo emporium of Marie Laveau. It is also the location of her inner sanctum, wherein she performs her rituals and spells.

After Hank Foxx ambushes the salon and murders her staff, and nearly herself if Queenie hadn't transferred the shot, it is likely that Marie has abandoned the building, as she had left to go live with the witches at Miss Robichaux's Academy.

Staff

Chantal

Chantal works for Marie as an all-around worker at Cornrow City, but is also a practitioner in Voodoo. She mentions growing up hearing the stories of Marie's magic where she is regarded the hero.

She tries to prevent Marie from summoning the zombies, but goes along when Marie gives a powerful speech rationalizing the need to retaliate. She dies when Hank ambushes the salon and uses two pistols and shoots her in the stomach as she screams in pain.

Gummy

Gummy is a salon hairdresser at Cornrow City, it is unknown if she is a practitioner of Voodoo. When Hank invaded the salon, she tries to stop him with a blade but was shot down. She is last seen lying on the ground dead.

Cora

Cora was a salon hairdresser in the time of 1961. Her son was lynched for being registered to De La Salle High School in New Orleans, an original exclusive all-white school, turned integrated. While she was working, ironically, she was telling Marie and other women doubtful of her choice for her son's education that she had hope for the future, which is why she took a risk in sending her son there. She was later devastated to learn about her son's fate.

In the present time, she is seen again to be pampered by Marie Laveau for the Mayor's Annual Halloween Ball, and when she tries to pay Marie, the latter refuses payment and even gives her money out of her jar, saying she needs it more. It is not known if she still works at the salon, or if she was massacred in Hank's shoot-out. 

Chinwe

Chinwe is one of the messengers of Marie Laveau. He escorts Cordelia to Marie Laveau to the questioning for a fertility ritual. Chinwe was later at Hank's apartment during the Voodoo pinning warning, saying "Marie Laveau sends her regards". He took a shotgun blast to his gut as Hank invaded the Salon.
