LILLY'S BRAIDS CONNECTION Bowie

Lilly's Braids Connection offers a long list of braided styles in Bowie, Maryland. Bohemian knotless braids are the largest group, offered in extra small, small, small medium, medium, medium large, large and jumbo sizes.

Beyond those, the menu includes French braid styles such as French Boho Bob, French Braids, French Curls and Bohemian French Curls, along with Boho Bob and Gypsy Bob braids, box braids or traditional box braids, cornrows, triangle braids, twists (island, Alliance, passion or Senegalese), locs and kids' braids.

Several special promo braid options are priced by length and hair type, using either 100% human hair or a blend. Listed prices on the booking page run from $180 to $260 and do not include taxes. A non-refundable $30 deposit is required for certain services to hold the appointment.

Booking is followed by a confirmation message. Clients are asked to arrive on time, since arriving 15 minutes late may mean rescheduling, and to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead. Clients should arrive with clean, dry, fully detangled hair unless the service includes washing, and extra fees may apply for detangling or hair preparation.

Hot water is used to seal and smooth braids, so clients are asked to stay still during hot-water dipping. Tools, chairs and stations are sanitized between clients. Children need to stay calm and seated, and the salon may decline service if a child cannot sit still. Additional guests are not allowed unless approved in advance, and anyone feeling sick is asked to stay home.
