Braid work added to a blowout or style, priced from $25 by how detailed the braid is.
Prep before your appointment
- Come in with clean, detangled hair, buildup and tangles slow the braiding process and can affect how neatly the braid lays
- If your hair is on the longer or thicker side, let us know when you book so we can set aside enough time
- Skip heavy oils or serums the morning of your appointment, a light leave-in is fine
- If you have a specific braid style in mind, a reference photo helps us make sure we're both picturing the same thing
Aftercare
- Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet to keep the braid intact and reduce frizz overnight
- Avoid getting the braid wet right away, especially in humid conditions, since moisture can cause it to loosen or puff faster than expected
- When you're ready to take it down, work slowly and use your fingers rather than pulling from the ends
- A light mist of water and a gentle smoothing cream can refresh the style if it starts to look dry before you remove it

Stylists for Braiding (add-on)
A braiding add-on pairs with a blowout or styling service to give your finished look more shape, structure, or detail, without tacking on a lot of time. The appointment runs about 30 minutes, and the work ranges depending on what you're after: a single side braid, a sleek French or Dutch braid, or something more intricate for a special occasion. Starting at $25, it fits into most budgets as a low-commitment way to get more out of a styling visit.
Braids tend to grip better on hair with a little texture to it. Freshly blown-out hair is sometimes very smooth, so your stylist may work in a light product before braiding to help it hold. Come in knowing roughly what direction you want to go, and bring a photo if you have one. That said, your stylist will be upfront about what works with your specific length and thickness, and Waco heat is worth factoring in if you need the braid to last through an outdoor event.
Good to know
Does my hair need to be a certain length or texture for a braiding add-on?
Most braid styles work best with at least a few inches of length to work with, and some texture helps the braid hold. Your stylist can tell you at the start of the appointment what's realistic for your specific hair.
