The four most-asked.

Most styles run 3 to 6 hours depending on the size of the parts and the length of hair. Knotless, micro braids, and intricate cornrow patterns are on the longer end. Crochet styles, men’s cuts, and take-down appointments are shorter. I’ll always give you a realistic time window when you book.

With proper care, most protective styles look great for 6 to 8 weeks. Longer than that and edges and roots start to feel rough, plus your natural hair needs to breathe. I do not recommend keeping any style longer than 8 weeks.

For most styles — yes, basic braiding hair is included. For specialty hair (curly human hair, specific premium brands, unique colors), you’re welcome to bring your own. Cornrows and men’s styles do not require added hair.

Come with hair that’s freshly washed, deep-conditioned, fully detangled, and blow-dried straight. No products, oils, or heavy creams. Clean hair grips better and lasts longer. See the care guide for the full pre-appointment checklist.
