You should get your haircut before your braiding appointment. This ensures your hair is shaped and even, which helps the braids look neater, last longer, and sit properly.
Please arrive with dry hair whenever possible.
Yes please — having your hair clean and fully detangled makes a big difference and helps me stay on schedule.
However, I can detangle it for you as an add-on.
Yes - 50% deposit please, with the remaining balance to be paid at the appointment.
There is nobody who can tell you this for sure as it depends on what activities you'll be doing, what your hair type is, how you look after them etc. It also depends on the style you get. The smaller the braid, the longer they'll last. For example, someone who got a complex braid with 8-10 braids will last longer than someone who got 2 x braids. And someone who has curly hair will hold the braid longer than someone with fine straight hair.
But if you got 2 x braids, you could expect it to last a few days to a few weeks.
To ensure I can focus and deliver the best results, I ask that clients attend their appointments alone.
No. I provide all extensions for your appointment. This is because some styles require prep beforehand, and I like to have everything ready to go so your appointment runs smoothly and on time.
Yes — the extensions used are high-temperature fibre.
If you have a pony style and no product has been applied, you can use straighteners on the hair just as you would your own. You can also curl the extensions if desired. This can be helpful if you’re refreshing the style day to day
A silent appointment is a calm, relaxed experience where there’s no expectation to chat. You’re welcome to sit back, switch off, and enjoy the process while I focus on your hair.
You could watch your favourite Netflix show or YouTube channel during your appointment. I have a TV set up in the space with full connectivity. Or you could put your headphones in and cach up on your favourite podcast.
Yes this can be an option. The additional cost will be 2 x your chosen braid.
Eg: 2 x Braids with no extensions will be $160. If braiding at my home space this cost is $80.
Cash Preferred, or Pay ID.
You can contact me via the contact form on this website and attach a pic of the style you want, and I'll response as soon as I can.
I'm always up to do different styles that I haven't done previously.
This changes from day to day, so please reach out to double check what I have. If you're after a specific colour that I don't currently have, I can order it in for you.
