Arrive with clean, detangled, and dry hair. Washing and deep conditioning your hair prior to the appointment helps maintain scalp health and ensures a smoother braiding process. Avoid applying heavy oils or styling products before your visit.
We offer a selection of high-quality synthetic and human hair extensions for various styles. If you have a specific brand or type of hair you prefer, you’re welcome to bring it. Please inform us ahead of time so we can ensure it suits the chosen style.
Yes, you can engage in activities like swimming and exercise with braids. After swimming, rinse your braids thoroughly with clean water to remove chlorine or salt. For exercise, keep your scalp dry and clean by using a sweatband and allowing your braids to air out post-workout.
