Braids-Other includes custom, artistic braiding—from intricate cornrow designs and geometric patterns to bold statement braids and mixed textures. Bring photos or ideas; our stylists will adapt techniques to hair length, density, and desired maintenance level to create your ideal look.

Time varies by design complexity, hair length, and size of braids. Simple custom styles may take 2–3 hours; intricate patterns or small braids can take 4–8+ hours. Your stylist will provide a time estimate during consultation.
