What we braid, and how long it takes

Clean rows from the front to the nape, parted by hand. Thin, medium or wide, with your own hair or with braiding hair added.

Braiding hair is added a little at a time, so each row starts fine at the hairline and builds to a fuller braid.

Sharp, evenly spaced stitches along each row, with crisp parts. Slow, careful work that holds its lines.

Rows that turn, wave or circle: a zigzag, a crown, a design you bring in a photo. We map it out on your head before the first braid.

Square parts and braiding hair added at the root, in small, medium or large. The smaller the part, the longer the day.

Braids that start flat and add hair a little at a time, so the root sits lighter. Same sizes, a little more time.

Rope twists in your own hair or with hair added, from short to long. A softer look that takes less time than a braid.

Cornrows at the front and sides, braids hanging behind, with beads or cuffs at the ends if you bring them or choose them with us.

New growth rolled between the palms at the root, row by row, for a soft, round loc.

New growth tightened with a looping pattern that holds between visits. For locs that are ready for it.

Locs braided up, pinned back or barrel-twisted for an event, a week or a change.

A wash and a conditioning step, a dry under the dryer, then a retwist at the root.

Tell us what you have in mind and bring a photo. We look at your hair, agree on a pattern, a size and a time estimate, and plan your day.

Washed, conditioned and blow-dried stretched and smooth, ready for braiding. Book it before a long style.

Out of braids or twists? We take the style down gently, detangle and wash your hair.
