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.

You can choose entirely for yourself whether you want to subtly match your natural hair color or create an eye-catching color contrast. We will help you find exactly the right shade from the wide selection of colored synthetic hair we offer on-site.
Unfortunately, synthetic hair extensions cannot be bleached, toned, or dyed with chemical products after they have been applied. If you want to try a new hair color, we make it easy by simply choosing a different shade of hair extensions at your next braiding appointment.
Four Dutch braids generally last between two and four weeks, although this varies somewhat depending on how quickly your own hair grows. A consistent nighttime routine in which you sleep with suitable hair protection is absolutely essential for extending the hairstyle’s lifespan.
Unlike six or more thin Dutch braids, four braids create a thicker, more defined, and very sporty look. This treatment is also slightly quicker to perform because your hair is divided into fewer but larger sections.
It is absolutely essential to protect your hair every night by wearing a snug-fitting silk cap or scarf. This minimizes friction against the bedding and effectively prevents your roots and braids from becoming tangled or frizzy.
