Braids that are neat at the root and still neat at week six

Knotless, box, cornrows and Fulani braids, parted and braided to your size and length. A good fit if you want a style you can leave alone for weeks, and don't mind a long day to get it.

Small parts take longer and look neat longer; large parts finish sooner and are lighter on the head.

  • Install: 2 to 8 hours, by style and size

  • Worn 4 to 8 weeks

  • Take-down: 2 to 3 hours

What happens

The visit, step by step

  1. 01

    Step 1: Plan it

    We look at your hair, agree the style, the size of the parts and the length, and you get a written quote and a time estimate.

    • 30 minutes, before the day

  2. 02

    Step 2: Prep

    A wash and detangle if your hair needs one, dried and stretched so the parts sit clean.

    • 45 to 75 minutes

  3. 03

    Step 3: Part and braid

    We part and section, then braid in order, with a short break halfway for water and a stretch.

    • Most of the day, by size and length

  4. 04

    Step 4: Finish

    Ends sealed or curled, edges tidied, and a quick lesson on sleeping and washing in it.

    • 20 to 30 minutes

Before you come

What to know

The price comes from the style, the size of the parts, the length and the braider's level, and it shows when you book.

  • Your hair, washed and dry

    Come with hair washed, dry and detangled, with no oil or gel in it, so the parts are clean.

  • Braiding hair

    We supply it, or you bring yours. Tell us which when you book, and the amount is part of your quote.

  • Photos help

    A photo of the style, from the back and from the side, tells us more than a name does.

  • Take-down

    Wear a braid style for four to eight weeks, then book the take-down. Please don't cut the extension out at the root yourself.

  • Results vary

    How a style looks and lasts depends on your hair, the size of the parts and how you care for it between visits.

  • The braider

    Lanaya, Tameeka or Alphonso, whoever you book. Every level is shown on the booking page.

Questions about this style

What size should I pick?

Small parts take longer, last longer and sit lighter at the root. Medium is the usual place to start. We'll look at your hair and talk it through at your consultation.

Can you braid short hair?

Most braids need a few inches of your own hair to hold. If yours is shorter, we'll tell you what we can do, and whether a different style fits better.

What does knotless mean?

The braid starts from your own hair and adds the extension in a little at a time, so there's no knot at the root and the base lies flatter.
