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.

It is incredibly important that you gather the braids in a silk bonnet or wrap them in a soft silk scarf every night. This protects the material from becoming frizzy due to the bedding and preserves the hairstyle’s beautiful texture for significantly longer.
