  • Drink plenty of water the day before your booking, so you're well hydrated and sleep in early. So you’re prepared if you have a long session. Eat a good breakfast, bring food, snacks, water or drinks for you to eat.

    If its winter or colder, wear warm clothing, you can even bring a blanket. For winter weather, there will be heating available as well.

    No hoodies would be great, they get in the way when taking pictures of your braids. Just sweaters please.

    Netflix and youtube will be available to watch, but you can bring your books, magazines or laptop to chill out.

    All my styles have an average time next to the price on my booking site. It varies depending on the density and length of the clients hair. Not following hair prep advice or coming in late will also extend the time. Please add 30mins-45mins at the end of your booking, for finishing touches, pictures and video.

  • Yes I do. Afterpay is only available for styles on my booking page. It is not available for custom styles because I do not know the exact timing to give you an exact price.

    Your choice to use Afterpay has an 18% surcharge. Deposits are exempt from this service. An Afterpay link will be sent to you to be paid that day.

  • For Knotless curls/waves, hair length should be mid back or shorter. For regular knotless braids hip length works for most people. if your hair is very very long, and add-on fee for Xtra long will be needed.

    For knotless braids your hair length should be at least 7cm or longer. If your entire head is 7cm, there will have to be an extra charge, as it takes more work on my part to braid your short hair.

    For stitch cornrows at least 16cm is a good start. If its 13-15cm which is on the short side, then the side cornrows is best. Especially for non afro textured clients. If you have afro textured hair, there is a bit of flexibility on required length for cornrows.

    Please measure the length of your hair in the front, sides and back with a ruler and let me know if your hair is on the shorter side before you book.

  • This all depends on your braiders experience, technique and hair care knowledge.

    Cornrows are short term 2-3 weeks

    knotless braids are long term 4-8 weeks

    Braids last a bit longer on afro hair types. You can read more about that in my blog.

  • YES YOU CAN!

    and its a must to keep your scalp nice and healthy and smelling clean. Not shampooing for long periods of time is a big no no and can cause adverse reactions in the long run. removing yeast and bacteria from the scalp is very important.

    Your wash days are not as frequent with braids in though. You can shampoo every week to week and half. I give you tips on how to do mini cleanses in between. Especially for people who exercise and sweat more often.

  • Yes braiding hair is soaked in vinegar, a few drops of tea tree oil and washed with gentle antibacterial soap, rinsed with water and hung in the sun to dry.

    Even if you get a bit of itching because you may be the 1 out of 10 cases with an extremely sensitive scalp. There are ways to stop itching etc in its tracks. I will take care of you dont worry.

  • You should always do your fades and taper cuts before you come to get your braids done.

    This is so I can see where I have to braid properly and your after pictures are great looking for the camera.
