What to Expect During Service
Every Smedium Butt Length appointment starts with a short consultation to confirm length, parting style and hair selection. Our Boho technique focuses on looser, textured knotless braids that sit at butt length; the standard booking for this style is 420 MINUTES to allow careful parting, gentle tension and clean sections.
Clients frequently remark on our patient, gentle approach—some have reported finishing in around five to six hours when a single stylist completed their full head. Because May, Jun, Jul and Aug are busiest, expect to book earlier in those months or select early evening or weekend slots that fit commuter schedules.
Technique and Hair Health
Our braiders prioritize tension management and clean parting to protect your natural hair. Reviews specifically praise gentle handling, clean parts and attention to baby hair, which reflects our practice of listening and adjusting tension to reduce breakage while creating the Boho texture clients want.
We can help you choose synthetic or human-hair options during booking; several clients noted we guided them to hair types that matched their desired movement and longevity. For long-term results, ask about maintenance tips at the end of your appointment — we explain routines that help preserve the style and hair health.
Booking and Local Convenience
African Hair Braiding by Hawa is in Downtown Silver Spring near AFI Silver Theatre and the Metro Transit Center, making midday or after-work appointments easy for commuters from DC and Bethesda. We serve nearby neighborhoods including Takoma Park, Wheaton, Kensington, Bethesda, Hyattsville and Chevy Chase.
The price for Smedium Butt Length is listed at $450; the standard appointment length is 420 MINUTES. Because May through August are busiest, we recommend booking early for summer travel and festivals. We sometimes accommodate last-minute walk-ins or same-day openings when available — call or book online to check availability.
