Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Braids.

Most braids last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, texture, and daily care. Tightness, activity level, and proper maintenance affect longevity; we recommend touch-ups or re-braiding when pieces loosen or new growth becomes noticeable to preserve a neat look.

When installed correctly, braids protect hair and reduce breakage. Damage occurs from excessive tension or prolonged wear without care. Our stylists use gentle techniques, recommend appropriate tension, and advise on maintenance to prevent stress on roots and keep hair healthy.

Yes — braids can be done on chemically treated or relaxed hair, but we assess strand integrity first. We adjust technique, tension, and maintenance recommendations to minimize breakage and protect treated hair while delivering a clean, lasting style.

Keep braids fresh by moisturizing the scalp with light oils, cleansing gently, and sleeping with a satin scarf or pillowcase. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup and schedule professional maintenance for loosening edges or retightening as needed.

Our braiding service typically includes styling only; washing, added extensions, or decorative accessories may be available for an extra charge. We’ll discuss options and pricing during consultation to tailor the service to your desired look and needs.

Pricing varies by hair length, density and texture because they affect time and materials required. During consultation we evaluate your hair and provide a transparent quote; we also discuss estimated wear time and any extra costs for extensions or special finishes.
