We recommend a consultation before your braiding appointment so we can go through your hair, the style you want and the length.
Come with clean, dry and thoroughly detangled hair. Avoid heavy oils, hair masks and styling products near the scalp before your visit. If extensions are to be used, we will help you choose the colour, length and material that suit the braid style you want.
We section the hair carefully and braid according to the chosen style, for example box braids, cornrows, men’s braids, children’s braids or crochet braids. The braids are adapted to your hair, your scalp and how dense, long or full you want the result to be.
Protect your scalp with light moisture, ideally sleep with a scarf or satin cap and avoid unnecessary friction. Wash gently when needed and do not pull hard on the braids. For the best longevity, follow the salon’s advice for your particular braid style.

Frequently asked questions about braids
Our experts gently braid fine synthetic hair extensions into tiny sections of your own hair. This advanced technique creates a very natural-looking, detailed style full of movement.
We use a premium synthetic hair specially designed to be extremely lightweight. This is essential to avoid weighing down your neck or creating harmful tension on your own hair follicles.

During your consultation, we'll help you find the ideal balance between your dream length and what your scalp can carry. Together we'll make sure of a full result that still feels comfortable day to day.

No, unfortunately synthetic hair can't be bleached, toned or chemically dyed once it's in. If you want to change your hair colour, we simply choose a new shade of hair extensions at your next braiding.
Thanks to the incredibly fine sectioning, tiny box braids can last up to three months with the right care. A consistent night-time routine with a silk cap is the key to a long-lasting style.
Tiny box braids offer unbeatable flexibility and can be styled into more updos than our thicker braid options. The treatment takes longer, but gives a much more detailed, dainty and exclusive look.
Always gather your braids in a soft scarf or silk cap when you sleep. This simple step protects the hair from the friction of a cotton pillow and keeps the braids' even structure much longer.
