What clients compare before booking

Choose the service by the finish, maintenance and hair requirements.

People comparing braid appointments usually want more than a gallery. They want to know which braid family fits the look they have in mind, whether extension hair is needed, how to prepare, how long the style can reasonably be worn and whether the stylist works with women, men or children.

Questions clients are actually asking

Answers before you book.

What is the difference between knotless braids, feed-in braids and cornrows?

Knotless braids are individual braids that begin with your natural hair before extension hair is gradually added. Feed-in braids gradually add hair into a cornrow pattern. Cornrows sit close to the scalp and can be worn with or without added hair depending on the design.

What should I confirm before booking braids?

Confirm the exact style, braid size, length, colour, whether curly pieces or beads are wanted, whether extension hair is required and whether you must bring it. Send a reference photo when possible so the request is clear before the appointment.

How long should braids stay in?

Wear time depends on braid size, new growth, scalp comfort, maintenance and lifestyle. Dermatology guidance recommends not keeping braids or locs in longer than about six to eight weeks, and they should come out sooner if there is pain, irritation, heavy buildup, slipping or matting.

Hair and scalp comfort

Protective styling should not mean painful styling.

If braids, cornrows, locs, weaves or extensions feel painfully tight, cause persistent stinging or visibly pull the hairline, speak up. The American Academy of Dermatology warns that repeated tension can contribute to traction alopecia.
