Frequently Asked Questions
  • How do crochet braids work and are they right for my hair?

    Crochet braids are a protective hairstyle where hair extensions are attached using a special crochet hook. This technique is gentle on natural hair, making it a great option for many hair types, especially if you want to switch up your look or add length and volume. Crochet braids are versatile and can be styled in various ways, from curly to straight. Interested in finding out if crochet braids are the best choice for you? Reach out to us today for a personalized consultation.

  • What are the benefits of getting knotless braids?

    Knotless braids offer a lighter, more natural feel compared to traditional box braids. This technique reduces tension on the scalp, helping prevent breakage and making the hairstyle more comfortable to wear. Knotless braids also allow for easy styling and typically last several weeks with proper care. If you would like to enjoy the benefits of knotless braids, our talented stylists are here to help. Book your appointment to get started on your new look.

    Yes, we provide a variety of dreadlock services, including both starter locs and maintenance appointments.
