Braids Stockholm & Uppsala

Box braids in four sizes, cornrows in two, four or six rows, baby cornrows, ponytail braids, crochet braids and men's braids. We also braid children's hair.

It depends on the size. Small and extra-small box braids often take half a day or more, while a few rows of cornrows take much less time. We'll tell you the time when we book you in.

From a few weeks up to three months, depending on size. Take them out too early rather than too late – a lot of new growth means the braids start to pull under their own weight.

Each service states what's included. If you're unsure, ask us when we book you in so you know what to bring.

Yes, we have dedicated services for children – box braids and cornrows.

Come with freshly washed, dry and detangled hair that's been washed with shampoo only. Conditioner and oils make the hair slippery and weaken the grip when braiding.

Focus on the scalp. Mix a gentle shampoo with water in an applicator bottle, apply along the partings, massage with your fingertips and rinse without rubbing the braids.

Your own hair is braided in and spared daily brushing, heat tools and friction against collars. The condition is that the braids aren't too tight and that you look after your scalp.

No. A braid should feel secure but not tight. If it pulls at the temples, it's too tight – tell us straight away and we'll loosen a few rows. Hair braided too tightly puts strain on the hairline.

At both Stockholm and Uppsala. You choose the salon when you add the service to your basket.
