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.

Your own hair cannot be colored while it is braided, and any synthetic hair that has been inserted cannot withstand any form of chemical coloring either. If you want to change your hair color, it is best to color your own hair before the treatment or choose colored extensions when they are inserted.
Men’s braids usually look beautiful for two to four weeks, depending largely on your own hair growth and how active your lifestyle is. A careful nightly routine with a durag is absolutely essential for maximizing the hairstyle’s longevity and keeping the edges sharp.
This treatment focuses specifically on the patterns and tight styles traditionally requested for men’s haircuts, such as masculine cornrows. It is a faster and more customized option compared with our more complex hair extension treatments for long hair.
You must cover your hair with a snug durag or silk bonnet every time you sleep. This significantly reduces friction against the cotton pillowcase and effectively prevents your hairstyle from becoming frizzy prematurely.
