Most appointments take 60 to 90 minutes, including wash, blow dry, and braiding. Time varies by hair length, thickness, and complexity of the plait style. We’ll give an accurate estimate during booking and adjust for any extra styling or add-ons you request.

When done correctly and not overly tight, plaits are a protective style that minimizes breakage. We use gentle techniques, recommend appropriate tension, and advise on maintenance routines. Regular care and occasional rest periods prevent stress and keep hair healthy.

Arrive with clean, detangled hair if possible; however our wash and conditioning are included. Avoid heavy oils or buildup before your appointment. Bring reference photos and mention any scalp sensitivities so stylists can choose the best technique and products for your hair.

Absolutely. Our stylists can create cornrows, individual braids, box plaits, or hybrid looks tailored to your hair texture and desired aesthetic. Bring examples and discuss length, parting, and tension preferences so we can customize the style to your lifestyle and maintenance needs.
