OUR SERVICES
(Please note bundles are not included)
Knotless Hair Braiding
We offer knotless hair braiding, a technique that creates braids without the traditional knot at the root, using a feed-in method to gradually incorporate extension hair. This results in a lighter, more natural-looking braid that reduces tension on the scalp and minimizes the risk of hair damage.
Regular Box Braiding
We also offer regular box braiding, a technique that creates braids with a knot at the base of of the scalp to secure hair extensions to your natural hair. This method is typically quicker and a more economical option.
Sew in
Made with human or synthetic hair, the extensions are braided into the natural hair and then sewn onto a base of cornrowed hair. This technique allows for added length and volume while protecting the natural hair from damage.
Lace Wig
Made with human or synthetic hair hand-tied into the lace, creating the illusion that the hair is growing directly from the scalp.
Cornrow Braids
Cornrow braids are in trend! This popular hairstyle is braided very close to the scalp in straight rows.
Boho Braids & Goddess Braids
Boho Braids combine traditional full braids with full loose, wavy hair strands for a relaxed, carefree look.
Goddess Braids combine traditional full braids that incorporate loose, curly hair at the ends for a more relaxed and flowing appearance.
Lemonade Braids
Worn by superstar Beyonce, lemonade braids are a popular hairstyle characterized by side-swept cornrows that cascade down one shoulder

FAQS
How long does it typically take to get braids done?
Typically, getting box braids can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours. It depends on the size, complexity, type and design of braids. Shoot us a text for a more accurate estimate.
How should I care for my braids once they are done?
To care for your braids effectively, you should keep your scalp clean by washing it gently with a sulfate-free shampoo every few weeks. Moisturizing your scalp with oils like jojoba or tea tree oil can help prevent dryness and itchiness.
How should I prepare my hair before my appointment?
Proper preparation can help ensure a smoother appointment process and better results. We usually advise our clients to wash their hair beforehand but to avoid using heavy conditioners that could leave residue. It’s also recommended to come with dry hair that is free from tangles.
