What this service includes
This listing is for Medium Shoulder length / hair included. The service includes the added hair needed to create a shoulder-length, full braid style. Price is $250 and the appointment duration is 240 MINUTES. Because hair is included, you receive the finished length and volume stated without needing to supply your own extensions.
Expect an initial consultation at the appointment to confirm parting, density and the finished shape. The final look is shaped by your natural hair, scalp spacing, and the braid pattern you choose; those decisions affect how dense or lightweight the result feels once installation is complete.
Scheduling and local access
Our salon sits in Downtown Silver Spring near the Metro and transit center, making midday or after-work appointments practical for commuters from DC and Bethesda. We offer early evening and weekend slots to accommodate working professionals and families who need flexible scheduling outside typical business hours.
If you plan a longer appointment window, consider pairing your visit with nearby outings — ask about package deals tied to AFI Silver or Sligo Creek walking trails. Booking earlier rather than later helps secure preferred times, especially for evenings and weekend availability.
Care and seasonal considerations
Demand for voluminous, curly braids peaks in Jun, Jul and Dec — summer resort styling and festive holiday looks drive bookings. Silver Spring’s Mid-Atlantic climate (hot, humid summers and distinct seasons) influences styling choices: humidity can affect curl behavior and shorter shoulder-length shapes are easier to manage in warm weather.
Aftercare choices shape how your braids settle and how long they stay neat. Simple nightly routines—such as a satin wrap—reduce friction, and light scalp care maintains comfort without disrupting installed hair. If you have questions about maintenance or product choices, bring them up during your consultation so we can advise within the service scope.
