General Services

QWhat types of braiding services do you offer?
A

We offer a comprehensive range of braiding services including box braids, goddess braids, knotless braids, cornrows, twists, and protective styles. We also provide consultation services to help you choose the best style for your hair type and lifestyle.

QHow long do braids typically last?
A

Braids can last anywhere from 4-8 weeks depending on the style, your hair type, and how well you maintain them. We recommend coming in for maintenance appointments every 2-3 weeks to keep your braids looking fresh.

QDo you work with all hair types and textures?
A

Yes! We specialize in working with natural hair of all textures and types. Our stylists are experienced with 3A to 4C hair types and can create beautiful styles that work with your natural hair structure.

Appointments & Booking

QHow far in advance should I book my appointment?
A

We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends and popular time slots. For special events or complex styles, we suggest booking 2-3 weeks ahead to ensure availability.

QWhat should I bring to my appointment?
A

Please bring your own hair products if you have specific preferences, a hair tie, and any reference photos of styles you like. We provide all the necessary tools and supplies for the braiding process.

QHow long do appointments typically take?
A

Appointment duration varies by style: simple cornrows take 1-2 hours, medium box braids take 3-4 hours, and complex styles can take 4-6 hours. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

Pricing & Payment

QWhat are your service rates?
A

Our rates vary based on style complexity, hair length, and thickness. Basic styles start at $80, while complex styles can range from $150-$300. We offer free consultations to provide accurate pricing for your specific needs.

QDo you offer any discounts or packages?
A

Yes! We offer student discounts with valid ID, referral rewards, and package deals for multiple services. We also have loyalty programs for returning clients. Ask about our current promotions when you book.

QWhat payment methods do you accept?
A

We accept cash, credit/debit cards, and mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay). We also offer payment plans for services over $200. All major credit cards are accepted.

Hair Care & Maintenance

QHow should I prepare my hair before getting braids?
A

Come with clean, dry hair that's free of product buildup. We recommend washing your hair 1-2 days before your appointment. Avoid heavy oils or leave-in conditioners that can make braiding difficult.

QWhat products do you recommend for maintaining braids?
A

We recommend lightweight oils like jojoba or argan oil for scalp moisture, edge control for flyaways, and a satin bonnet or pillowcase for sleeping. We'll provide a complete care guide after your service.

QHow often should I wash my braids?
A

We recommend washing your braids every 2-3 weeks using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. Focus on the scalp and avoid scrubbing the braids themselves. Always follow up with a light conditioner and allow to air dry completely.

Safety & Hygiene

QWhat safety measures do you have in place?
A

We maintain strict hygiene standards with sterilized tools, single-use supplies, and regular sanitization of our workspace. All stylists are trained in proper safety protocols and use protective equipment when needed.

QDo you use synthetic or natural hair extensions?
A

We offer both options! We carry high-quality synthetic hair that's heat-resistant and natural hair extensions. We'll help you choose based on your budget, desired look, and maintenance preferences.

QWhat if I experience scalp irritation or discomfort?
A

If you experience any discomfort, please contact us immediately. We can adjust the tension, recommend soothing treatments, or schedule a follow-up appointment. Your comfort and hair health are our top priorities.

Special Requests & Customization

QCan you recreate styles from photos or social media?
A

Absolutely! We love working with reference photos and can adapt most styles to work with your hair type and face shape. Bring in your inspiration photos and we'll create a customized version just for you.

QDo you offer hair coloring or highlights with braids?
A

Yes! We offer hair coloring services including highlights, lowlights, and full color. We can also work with pre-colored hair to create stunning braided styles. Color services are priced separately from braiding.

QCan you add accessories or decorative elements?
A

Of course! We offer beads, cuffs, ribbons, and other decorative elements to personalize your style. We also carry premium accessories like gold-plated cuffs and Swarovski crystal beads for special occasions.
