Getting Ready: How to Prepare for Your Appointment

To prepare for your appointment, we recommend cleansing your hair thoroughly before arriving and skipping heavy products like oils or styling gels. This allows the braids to grip properly. Communicate with us about your hair type and any concerns you have. This helps us tailor the experience and ensure we provide the best care for your locks.

What to Expect During Your Braiding Session

When you arrive, we'll start with a consultation to discuss your desired style. You'll sit in a comfortable chair where our skilled stylists will begin the braiding process. We usually take about 180 to 210 minutes for large boho braids, and throughout this time, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions or share any concerns. The friendly atmosphere and our clear communication make many first-time clients feel relaxed; one recent first-time visitor said,

Caring for Your Boho Braids: What Happens Afterwards

After your appointment, you'll likely feel excited about your new style. It's common to experience slight tenderness on your scalp for the first day. To maintain your braids, we recommend using a light leave-in conditioner and avoid tight hairstyles that can cause tension. Revisit your stylist every 6-8 weeks for maintenance to keep your look fresh. Many clients tell us they receive compliments shortly after getting their braids, we often hear phrases like,

"These are the best braids I've ever had!"
