Appointment time varies by braid size, density and length. Most removals take between 45 minutes and two hours. We include careful detangling, moisturizing and scalp assessment, ensuring safety and preventing damage — typically faster and safer than DIY.

Our stylists use gentle detangling methods, lubricants and conditioning treatments to minimize breakage. We assess hair condition first and adapt techniques accordingly. While some fragile or previously damaged hair can be vulnerable, our priority is to preserve strength and recommend follow-up care.

You don't have to wash beforehand; we can remove braids and cleanse afterward. If the scalp has heavy buildup or irritation, a light pre-wash helps. Otherwise arriving moisturized with minimal product is ideal for a smoother removal.

We use soothing sprays, light oils and careful sectioning to avoid traction. Stylists monitor sensitivity, take breaks as needed, and use detangling tools gently. Moisturizing and scalp massage help restore comfort and circulation while preventing further irritation.

Often yes, but we usually recommend a short restorative treatment first to ensure hair strength and moisture. If hair and scalp are healthy, same-day styling is possible; heavier or more protective styles may need a brief conditioning period between services.

Gently cleanse and deep-condition within a few days, detangle with a wide-tooth comb, and apply leave-in moisturizer or oil. Avoid heavy heat and tight styles for at least a week. Follow stylist-recommended treatments and schedule strengthening or trimming if needed.
