FAQ
Braids questions.
How long do braids last?
Most braided styles last 4–8 weeks with good aftercare. We don't recommend keeping them in longer than 8 weeks.
Do I need to bring my own braiding hair?
Let us know when you book. We'll confirm how many packs you need for your style, or quote you with hair included.
Will knotless braids hurt?
Knotless braids put less tension at the root than traditional box braids. If anything feels too tight, tell us and we'll adjust it.
