What to expect during styling
Appointments begin with a short consultation to confirm length, parting and the amount of baby hair you prefer left out. The salon lists Duration: 330 MINUTES for this service; actual time depends on hair density and parting detail. Some clients have been finished by a single braider in roughly five hours, while others reported longer sessions when adding texture or extra detail.
During styling expect careful parting and detangling, with staff checking tension and comfort as they work. Reviews note gentle handling and clean parts; we follow that approach so the braids sit comfortably. If you prefer to arrive with your hair washed or to use your own products, tell us when booking—clients have had both options and the team adapts accordingly.
How the style is shaped
Small-size boho braids for mid-back length rely on smaller sections and relaxed, curly tendrils to create soft movement. The boho look is defined by looser styling around the face and textured ends rather than rigid, uniform braids, which affects the finished silhouette and how the style moves with humidity and activity common in the Mid-Atlantic climate.
We provide extension options and help choose hair type and length to match your desired fullness and fall; several clients mention the salon supplying hair. Expect some natural shedding over time—reviews describe generally long-lasting results when maintained, and stylists will advise on upkeep to keep parts clean and reduce tension while you wear the style.
Timing, scheduling, and location
Price: $350 for this Small Mid Back service, and we recommend booking early for spring and summer. The busiest months are May, Jun, and Jul—when boho braids with curly tendrils are especially popular for vacations and festivals. We offer early evening and weekend slots to accommodate commuters from DC and Bethesda who use the Silver Spring Metro and transit connections.
Our Downtown Silver Spring location near AFI Silver Theatre and the Transit Center makes afternoon or after-work appointments convenient. Bring a book and a phone charger if you like—clients have noted good reception and a comfortable waiting atmosphere. Consider pairing your appointment with local activities like AFI screenings or a Sligo Creek walk for a full outing.
