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 decide entirely whether the braids should blend subtly into your own hair color or whether you want an exciting contrasting color. We help you find exactly the right shade in our extensive color chart among the colored synthetic hair extensions we offer on-site.
Synthetic hair extensions cannot be bleached, toned, or colored with any chemical hair dyes after application. If you want to try a new color, the easiest option is to choose a completely different, exciting shade of synthetic hair at your next braiding appointment.
Two Dutch braids usually stay looking good for about one to two weeks, depending somewhat on how quickly your own hair grows and how active your lifestyle is. Sleeping with a protective headscarf every night is the most important thing you can do to maximize the hairstyle’s lifespan.
Compared with booking four or six Dutch braids, two braids are significantly wider, creating the classic boxer braid look. This treatment is also one of our quickest options because the hair only needs to be divided into two large sections.
You must protect the hair every night by wearing a snug silk bonnet or wrapping the braids in a soft scarf. This significantly minimizes friction against your bedding and effectively prevents the middle part and the surface of the braids from becoming frizzy prematurely.
