Get answers to common questions about braids.

Duration varies by braid type, hair texture, and maintenance. Standard box or cornrows last two to six weeks; micro or protective styles can hold longer with touch-ups. Follow salon aftercare, sleep protection, and avoid excess tension to maximize longevity.

Yes. We source high-quality, ethically sourced synthetic and human hair extensions and install them with gentle techniques to minimize scalp strain. Your stylist assesses tension, sectioning, and hair health and recommends the best extension type for comfort and durability.

You can wash braids gently; frequency depends on scalp oiliness and activity level. Typically every one to two weeks using diluted shampoo and light massage, then thoroughly rinse and dry. Avoid heavy conditioners at roots and blot dry to prevent mildew.

When installed and maintained properly, braids are protective rather than damaging. Excessive tension, prolonged wear, or improper removal can harm edges. Our stylists prioritize comfortable tension, recommend safe wear times, and show gentle unbraiding techniques to protect your natural hair.

Pricing varies by braid type, size, hair length, and added extensions. Simple feed-in or cornrows start at an affordable base, while micro or intricate styles with premium hair cost more. Consult our stylist for a personalized quote during booking.

Arrive with clean, detangled hair and avoid heavy oils or conditioners. Bring inspiration photos and discuss desired parting, length, and tension with your stylist. Allow enough time for the service, and be open about scalp sensitivity so we can adjust technique.
