Services and appointments

What is the difference between box braids and knotless braids?

Box braids start with a small knot that secures the extension at the root, which gives a fuller root and a defined parting. Knotless braids feed the hair in gradually instead, so they are lighter and gentler on the scalp and edges.

Do knotless braids damage your edges?

Not when they are done right. With no knot pulling at the root, there is far less tension on your hairline than with knotted braids. If anything feels tight, tell us and we will loosen it during the appointment.

How long do braids last?

Most of our braid styles last six to eight weeks with proper care. Wrap your hair at night, keep your scalp moisturised, and avoid re-tightening the front rows too often.

How long does an appointment take?

Most styles take four to seven hours, depending on the size and length you choose. Boho and curl-finished styles can take five to eight hours, so keep the day free.

Should I wash my hair before my appointment?

Yes, please. Come in freshly washed, fully dried and detangled. It makes the appointment faster, neater and more comfortable for you.

Can I ask questions before I book?

Yes. Call us at (571) 705-9809 and we will talk through the style, the length and the price before you book. If a style is not right for your hair, we will tell you.
