It depends on the style and length you choose. Most knotless and box braid installations take between 4 and 7 hours, while cornrows and simpler styles may take less. We’ll give you an estimated duration when you book so you can plan your day.

For most braided styles, we recommend at least 7–10 cm of natural hair so the braids grip securely and sit neatly. If you’re unsure whether your hair is ready, send us a photo when booking and we’ll happily advise you.

Pricing varies based on the style, length, and thickness you choose. For an accurate quote, please get in touch with the style you have in mind — we’re always transparent about pricing before your appointment so there are no surprises.

You’re welcome to bring your own braiding hair if you have a preferred brand or colour. We can also supply premium quality hair for an additional cost — just let us know your preference when booking and we’ll sort everything out.

Please come with clean, washed, and fully blow-dried hair, free of heavy products or build-up. This helps your braids look neater and last longer. Feel free to bring snacks, headphones, or anything that keeps you comfortable during longer styles.

With proper care, most of our protective styles last between 4 and 8 weeks. We’ll share simple aftercare tips at the end of your appointment to help you keep them looking fresh for as long as possible.
