Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

At Braids by Praise, we specialize in high-quality protective hairstyles designed to suit your style and lifestyle. Our services include Regular Knotless Braids, Bohemian Knotless Braids, Luxury Boho (Bora Bora) Braids, Senegalese Twists, Island Twists, Passion Twists, Soft Locs, French Curly Braids, Tribal Braids, Boho Tribal Braids, Lemonade Braids, Cornrows, Stitch Braids, Wig Foundation Cornrows, and a variety of custom braid styles. We offer multiple braid sizes and lengths, with premium hair included for many of our services, ensuring you leave with a beautiful, long-lasting style you'll love.

Do I need to wash my hair before my appointment?

Yes. We kindly ask that you arrive with your hair clean, fully dried, detangled, and free of heavy oils, gels, or product buildup. Clean hair helps us achieve a neater installation, ensures your style lasts longer, and promotes a healthy scalp.

If you're unable to prepare your hair beforehand, please let us know when booking. We may be able to add a wash and blow-dry service to your appointment for an additional fee, subject to availability.

How long do braids typically last?

The longevity of your braids depends on the style, your hair care routine, and how well they are maintained. On average, most of our protective styles last 4 to 8 weeks. Smaller braids often last longer than larger braids, while styles with loose curls, such as Bohemian Braids or French Curly Braids, may require a little extra maintenance to keep the curls looking fresh.

To extend the life of your style, we recommend:

  • Sleeping with a satin or silk bonnet or scarf.
  • Keeping your scalp clean and moisturized.
  • Avoiding excessive pulling or manipulation.
  • Following any aftercare advice provided by your stylist.

With proper care, your braids will stay neat, beautiful, and help protect your natural hair throughout their wear.

Can I bring my own hair?

Yes! You're welcome to bring your own hair if you have a preferred brand, color, or texture. However, many of our services already include premium-quality hair in the price for your convenience. If you choose to bring your own hair, please ensure it is suitable for the style you've booked. If you're unsure which type or quantity of hair you'll need, feel free to contact Braids by Praise before your appointment—we'll be happy to guide you.

Are your braids gentle on natural hair?

Yes! At Braids by Praise, the health of your natural hair is one of our top priorities. We use professional braiding techniques that minimize tension on your scalp and hairline, helping to reduce breakage and discomfort. Our knotless and protective styles are designed to protect your natural hair while allowing it to grow and thrive. We also take the time to ensure every style is installed comfortably, so you leave looking great and feeling confident.

Do you offer services for children?

Yes! We provide gentle braiding services for kids. Children’s styles are typically quicker and use less tension.

Are your stylists trained and certified?

Yes! At Braids by Praise, our stylists are professionally trained and experienced in a wide range of braiding and protective hairstyles. We are committed to using proper techniques, maintaining high standards of hygiene, and staying up to date with the latest braiding trends to ensure every client receives exceptional service in a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Our goal is to provide beautiful, long-lasting results while protecting the health of your natural hair.

Earn rewards with every qualifying appointment and enjoy exclusive perks, special discounts, and member-only offers. It's our way of showing appreciation for your continued support while helping you save on your favorite braiding services.
