Get answers to common questions about Braids (requires consult).

The consultation lets your stylist assess hair type, length, scalp health, and discuss desired styles and complexity. This ensures accurate pricing, timing, and a tailored approach that protects hair integrity and achieves your ideal look.

Duration depends on braid type, hair length, density, and complexity. Simple styles may take one to two hours, while intricate or added-hair braids can require three to six hours. Your consultation provides a precise time estimate.

Yes — bring photos, inspiration, or screenshots to your consult. Visual references help your stylist understand proportions, partings, and texture expectations, enabling recommendations on feasibility, required extensions, and adjustments for your hair.

When installed with correct tension and maintained properly, braids can be protective. Improper tension, overly tight styles, or prolonged wear without care can cause breakage. We recommend safe installation, care routines, and removal timing to protect hair health.

For the consultation itself hair can remain as usual, but for installation it's best to arrive clean, detangled, and free of heavy product buildup. Clean hair ensures better parting, lasting hold, and scalp health.

Regular scalp cleansing, nightly protection with silk or satin, and moisturizing sprays maintain braid health. Depending on style, touch-ups or re-tightening may be recommended every four to eight weeks. Follow your stylist's care plan to extend wear.
