About

Braids come in four sizes: large, smedium, medium, and small. Certain styles use hair in shades 1, 1b, 2 and 4, whereas boho designs generally require clients to supply their own curly hair. Appointment length tends to run three to five hours for large boho knotless braids, around two to four hours for medium and smedium sizes, and four to seven hours for small knotless. Expect the result to hold roughly four to eight weeks, with the exact span depending on hair texture, braid scale and upkeep. A few services call for contacting the stylist by message before scheduling.

Beyond braids, the salon installs custom made wigs, wigs with closures, and standard wigs, and it offers wig maintenance and takedowns. Sew-ins use premium human hair according to the business and are typically maintained every six to eight weeks. A wash and blow dry is available as an add-on to a sew-in or wig closure install. Event styling is offered for weddings and formal events, and a trial run is recommended for those. Children and clients with sensitive scalps are welcome; clients should mention this when booking so products and water temperature can be adjusted.

Consultations are required before major colour services and are recommended before services that need a meeting first. A 30-minute consultation covers hair history, texture and condition, style goals, reference images and recommended services. Cancelling at least 24 hours ahead carries no charge; cancelling with less notice is charged 25% of the service price, and a no-show is charged 50%. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM.

The business says knotless braiding reduces tension and breakage compared with traditional methods.
