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 choose whether you want the synthetic hair to match your natural hair color exactly or contrast with it distinctly. We are happy to guide you through our extensive color chart at the salon to find the very best shades for you.
The synthetic hair extensions we use cannot withstand any form of chemical coloring, bleaching, or toning. If you would like a different hair color, we can easily switch to a completely new shade of hair extensions at your next braiding appointment.
Baby cornrows typically stay neat and fresh for two to four weeks, largely depending on your own hair growth. Carefully using nighttime hair protection is by far the most important factor in maximizing the hairstyle's longevity and freshness.
Unlike regular Dutch braids, baby cornrows are much thinner and are created in significantly more small sections across the entire head. This creates a more complex and detailed pattern, which also means that the salon treatment itself takes a little longer to complete.
You must consistently protect your hairstyle every night by sleeping with a snug-fitting silk bonnet or scarf. This nightly routine minimizes friction against your bedding and effectively prevents the small braids from becoming frizzy.
