How much braids cost, how the deposit works, and what to know before you book
Every appointment takes a $30 non-refundable deposit. Your appointment is confirmed once the deposit is paid, and the $30 goes toward your service price. You can pay the deposit by card on this page or by Zelle to (561) 568-1274.
Featured services show their starting prices on this page — small knotless braids start at $200, medium at $180 and large at $150, all at the default mid-back length. Size and length change the price: smaller sizes take longer, and longer lengths (waist length, butt length and thigh length) are available — your exact price for the length you choose is confirmed when you book. The Full Service Menu above lists every service with its size and length options.
It depends on the style and size. Quick services like large lemonade braids and braids down for wigs take about 1 to 1.5 hours, most knotless and twist styles take 3 to 7 hours, and the longest styles — gypsy braids at butt length — can take up to 10 hours 40 minutes. Each service in the menu shows its time.
Many styles include braiding hair — the menu says "hair included" where that applies. Human hair is different: for boho knotless and gypsy braids, human hair is not included. Boho styles need about 1 to 1.5 packs, and gypsy braids need about 3 packs at mid-back or waist length and 3 to 4 packs at butt length. For Senegalese twists and mini braids, clients bring their own human hair.
Use the booking calendar in the Book Your Appointment section on this page, send the contact form, or call or text (561) 568-1274. Your appointment is confirmed after the $30 deposit is paid.
Rescheduling is only available 48 hours or more before your appointment. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the appointment incur a 50% charge. The full rules are on our Salon Policy page.
Yes. We offer take-down for knotless, boho, gypsy and twist styles, and for Fulani braids, on Sundays and Mondays. Size and length can affect the price — call (561) 568-1274 to confirm yours.
Bring your human hair if your style needs it (boho, gypsy, Senegalese twists and mini braids). For men's braids, send your style or pattern when you book. Please also tell your stylist before the service starts about any allergies, product sensitivities, scalp tenderness or skin conditions.
