What to expect during styling
Every Small Hip Length session begins with a focused consultation about desired length, hair type and tension. Our braiders are known for patient, careful parting and detangling—reviews note gentle handling and clean parts. Expect the full appointment to run the quoted time of 480 MINUTES; some clients are finished by a single skilled braider.
After styling, your hip-length boho braids are designed for low daily upkeep while protecting length. Clients report long-lasting looks when they follow simple maintenance: gentle scalp care, sleep protection and avoiding excessive tugging. Light shedding can occur with any braided style; our team will explain safe detangling and product choices to minimize breakage.
Timing and booking tips
For timing and booking, plan around the quoted 480 MINUTES session length and our listed price of $450. The salon is busiest in May, June and July when clients prepare for vacations; we offer early-evening and weekend slots to accommodate commuters from DC and Bethesda using Silver Spring Metro and local buses.
Same-day appointments have been arranged for clients in reviews, so call if you need short-notice availability; staff will confirm current openings. Bring a book, snacks and a charger—some clients stay with TVs and Wi‑Fi in the salon. Ask about package pairings with nearby AFI Silver or a Sligo Creek walk for a full Silver Spring outing.
Hair health and materials
We prioritize hair health during boho braids: braiders discuss hair type, the amount of baby hair to leave out and techniques to reduce tension. Reviews note our team supplies hair for many clients and that stylists listen to preferences. We will review your options and how each choice affects the look, feel and manageability of hip-length braids.
Some clients prefer to arrive with freshly washed hair and their own products; others ask us to provide hair and supplies. Tell us at booking whether you will bring hair or want us to supply it so we can confirm preparation steps, timing and any additional details before your appointment.
