We love creating creative braids
We recommend a consultation before your braiding appointment so that we can review your hair, desired style, and length.
Come with clean, dry, and thoroughly detangled hair. Avoid heavy oils, hair masks, and styling products near the scalp before your appointment. If hair extensions are to be used, we will help you choose the color, length, and material that suit your desired braiding style.
We carefully section the hair and braid it according to the chosen style, such as box braids, Dutch braids, cornrows, men’s braids, children’s braids or crochet braids. The braids are adapted to your hair, your scalp and how tight, long or full you want the result to be.
Protect your scalp with light moisturization, consider sleeping with a scarf or satin bonnet, and avoid unnecessary friction. Wash gently when needed and do not pull tightly on the braids. For the best durability, follow the salon's advice for your specific braid style.

Frequently asked questions about braids
Baked braids are a popular braiding technique where the braid is "lifted" from the scalp to create a three-dimensional look. They are both stylish and functional, perfect for any occasion and stay looking good for days.
Baked braids can last up to a week, depending on how well they are cared for and your hair type. To extend their lifespan, we recommend protecting them with a silk scarf when you sleep and avoiding excessive moisture.
Yes, it is possible to do braids on short hair. For shorter lengths, we can add hair extensions to give extra length and volume. Our stylists will help you find the best solution for your hair.
The time required for two baked braids is usually 30–45 minutes, depending on hair type and desired length. Our stylists work efficiently to give you a perfect result in a short time.
We recommend that you wash and brush your hair before your visit, so it is clean and free of products. This will ensure that the braids last longer and look good.
You can choose whether you want to match the child’s natural hair color exactly or add a fun color contrast for a more playful style. We’re happy to guide you through our wide color chart at the salon to find the most beautiful shades.
Unfortunately, synthetic hair extensions cannot be bleached, toned, or dyed with chemical products after application. If the child wants a new color, we can solve this in a fun and simple way by choosing a different color of hair extensions at the next salon visit.
Two French braids for children usually last for about one to two weeks, depending largely on the child’s hair type and how actively they move during the day. Wearing a protective silk bonnet or scarf at night is by far the best way to extend the hairstyle’s longevity.
Compared with booking small dreadlocks, two Dutch braids are a much quicker treatment that creates a fuller, sportier look. It is a perfect and affordable introductory option for younger children who cannot sit still in the salon chair for several hours.
It is very important to protect the child's hairstyle every night by having them sleep with a snug silk bonnet or scarf. This significantly reduces friction against the cotton pillowcase and keeps both the center part and the surface of the braids looking fresh for longer.
