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
Braids are a gentle and stylish hairstyle that is perfect for children. They are designed to keep hair neat and manageable, while protecting it from wear and tear and tangling.
Children's braids can last up to 1-3 weeks depending on the child's hair type and how active the child is. To extend the durability, we recommend using a silk scarf at night and avoiding getting the hair too wet.
Yes, children's braids work for all hair types. Our stylists are used to working with different textures and adapt the technique to create durable and comfortable braids that suit your child's hair.
Braiding your child's hair usually takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the length, thickness and desired style of hair. Our stylists work quickly and efficiently to provide a beautiful and long-lasting result.
We recommend that you wash and detangle your child's hair before the visit. The hair should be clean and free of products to make braiding easier and the results more lasting.
We offer synthetic hair in many different shades and will help you find a color in person that either matches your child’s natural hair color or creates a fun contrast. Many people choose to add colorful highlights for a more personal and playful style.
No, unfortunately synthetic hair cannot be colored, bleached, or toned after it has been installed. If the child wants a new shade, it is best to choose a different color for the extensions at the next braiding appointment.
Depending on the child's hair type and how well the hairstyle is maintained, the braids can last anywhere from one to three months. To maximize their lifespan, it is important to follow our care instructions carefully throughout the entire period.
Unlike our more advanced adult treatments, children's braids are specifically designed to be extra gentle on a young scalp. The service focuses on maximum comfort and practical durability for an active everyday life.
We strongly recommend that the child sleeps with a silk cap or a soft scarf to reduce friction against the pillow. This prevents the hairstyle from becoming frizzy prematurely and keeps the braids looking neat for considerably longer.
