Before you come
Arrive with your hair washed, fully dried and detangled unless we have agreed otherwise. Undone hair eats into the appointment and into the quality of the result. If you are bringing your own hair, say so in the booking notes and we will tell you how much to bring.
Most full-head styles run five to eight hours. We tell you which when you book, so you can plan the day around it.
Questions
How long does the appointment take?
Around 5–8 hours. We tell you which end of that to expect when you book, so you can plan the day.
How much does it cost?
From $250. The final price depends on length, density and the size of the braids, and it is agreed with you before the appointment begins — never after.
How should I prepare?
Come with your hair washed, fully dried and detangled, unless we have agreed otherwise. Undone hair eats into your appointment and into the quality of the result.
Do I need to bring my own hair?
If you would like to, say so in the booking notes and we will tell you how much to bring for the style you want.
How far ahead should I book?
Please book at least 48 hours in advance. Walk-ins are still welcome when a chair happens to be free — call 571-426-0602 and we will tell you honestly whether the day can take it.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please give at least 48 hours' notice. A braiding chair booked for six hours cannot be filled at short notice, which is the whole reason the policy exists.
What if it feels too tight?
Tell us. Tension is set so your edges survive the style, and if it hurts we take it down and reset it. That is the job, not a favor.
Ready to book?
Send a request and we confirm your slot by text, usually the same day. Nothing is charged on the website.
