Yes. Shampoo is not included in the braid service but can be added for an upcharge. Clients must arrive shampooed, completely combed or blown-dried, and free of oils, dirt, or conditioners to avoid additional fees and ensure smooth braiding.

If your hair isn't combable and blown out, we may need to detangle or blow-dry it before braiding, which can add time and incur additional fees. You can add a shampoo/blowout service when booking; please inform us so we allocate proper time.

With proper care and depending on growth and braid size, Men's Braids typically stay neat for two to eight weeks. Smaller, tighter braids often last longer; using a satin scarf, avoiding heavy oils, and scheduled touch-ups preserves shape and longevity.

Yes. Extensions may be added for length or volume but require extra time and an upcharge. They must be clean and prepped; alternatively we can supply professional extensions. Please consult when booking so we reserve time, confirm pricing, and match hair correctly.

Protect braids nightly with a satin scarf or bonnet, avoid heavy oils on the scalp, and gently cleanse as needed with diluted shampoo. Keep scalp moisturized with light sprays, avoid excessive manipulation, and schedule maintenance appointments to prevent buildup and maintain neat parts.

When done correctly by experienced stylists, Men's Braids are a protective style and won't damage hair. Excessive tension, overly tight braids, or prolonged wear without breaks can cause stress. Communicate sensitivity concerns, allow regular maintenance, and alternate with rest periods to preserve hair health.
