Investment & Commitment
Time Commitment
Typical Duration
Time varies based on:
"We confirm estimated time at booking and again when we assess your hair at the start."
Investment
Pricing Range
Most clients invest between $220 - $350
Price depends on:
No surprises. We agree on size, length, and total price before we start. You'll know exactly what you're paying for.
Your Comfort Matters
We take tension seriously so you can wear your braids without pain or damage.
Even Tension Throughout
We don't pull tight to make the style "last longer." Proper technique, not tension, creates longevity.
We Check In
If something feels too tight, tell us immediately. We'll adjust on the spot. No judgment, no extra charge.
Edge Protection
We won't overload fragile edges. If your hairline needs a break, we'll recommend alternatives.
Choose Your Look
Small Box Braids
Thin, detailed braids for a sleeker look. Most styling versatility. Takes longest to install but lasts the longest.
Medium Box Braids
The most popular choice. Balanced between install time and longevity. Works for most face shapes and lifestyles.
Large Box Braids
Chunky braids with a bold, statement look. Faster install, less weight on your scalp. Great for first-timers.
Jumbo Box Braids
Thick, dramatic braids. Quickest install. Perfect for vacations, short-term styles, or when you want maximum impact.
How Long They Last
Typical Wear
6-8 weeks
Deepens Usage
- Low tension installation (less stress on roots)
- Clean, properly prepped hair
- Sleeping with a silk bonnet or scarf
- Regular scalp moisturizing
- Avoiding heavy products and buildup
Shortens Lifespan
- Heavy sweating without proper drying
- Daily edge slicking with heavy gel
- Scratching the scalp aggressively
- Frequent water exposure without drying
- Waiting too long for takedown (matting)
Aftercare
Your braids can last the full 6-8 weeks with proper care.
Sleep Protected
Wrap your hair in a silk or satin bonnet every night. Cotton pillowcases cause frizz and dry out your edges.
Moisturize Your Scalp
Light braid spray or oil 2-3x per week. Focus on the scalp, not the braids. Avoid heavy products that cause buildup.
Wash Gently
Wash every 2-3 weeks with diluted shampoo. Focus on the scalp. Let air dry or use low heat.
Don't Over-Slick Edges
Daily edge control causes buildup and can thin your hairline. Save the slicked look for special occasions.
Know When to Take Them Out
Don't push past 8 weeks. Hair matts at the roots the longer you wait, making takedown harder and riskier.
We'll walk you through everything before you leave. No guessing.

“I’ve been going to Kay since 2017 and I have nothing but great things to say… I’ve recommended her to so many people, she is clean and professional and I love that she’s the only hairstylist I’ve ever been to where I don’t need to wash and blow dry my hair before hand or pass the braiding hair. When her mom washes my hair it feels like heaven and the environment is very relaxing. Forever my stylist ❤️”

“Charmaine did my hair about a month ago and it was an amazing experience. I received a warm welcome and my appointment started on time. The care and attention to detail my hair received was wonderful. I received so many compliments on my hair. Kay and Charmaine are now my go-to hairstylists going forward.”
Blowouts
“Great experience! I was welcomed by Kay’s assistant who blew out my hair - she was fast and gentle. Then Kay did my hair in what seemed like very little time. She was kind and gentle as well, asking me throughout whether the braids were too tight (they were not). I have received so many compliments on my hair, with many comments regarding neatness and technique! 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!”

Common Questions
Is braiding hair included or should I bring my own?
Both options available. We carry quality braiding hair you can purchase at your appointment. If you have a specific brand or color you prefer, feel free to bring your own. Let us know when you book so we can plan accordingly.
What if I'm tender-headed?
Tell us upfront. We'll work with you. Our install technique prioritizes comfort without sacrificing neatness. We check in throughout the appointment and adjust immediately if anything feels too tight.
Can I get box braids with short hair?
Yes, as long as your hair is at least 2-3 inches long. We'll assess your hair at the start and recommend the best approach. Very short hair may need smaller sections for secure grip.
Can you do box braids on relaxed or transitioning hair?
Yes, with care. Relaxed and transitioning hair can be more fragile. We'll assess your hair's condition and may recommend lighter tension, larger sizes, or a consultation first.
Do you braid kids and men?
Yes. Kids pricing applies to children 12 and under. We're patient with younger clients and keep sessions comfortable. Men's box braids are also available with the same attention to neatness and tension.
What if I need to reschedule?
Please give us at least 24 hours notice. Less than 24 hours may result in forfeiting your deposit. We understand things come up but last-minute cancellations affect our schedule.
What if something goes wrong after I leave?
If a braid unravels within 7 days of your appointment due to installation issues, we'll fix it at no charge. Just reach out with photos and we'll schedule you in.
How do I style my box braids for variety?
Box braids are incredibly versatile. You can wear them down, in a high ponytail, half-up half-down, space buns, braided crown, or a low bun. We can show you a few options before you leave.
