How the style is made
The process begins with a consultation to confirm the exact waist-length look and curl pattern you want. During the 300 MINUTES appointment we add the included hair to build length and fullness, then secure and shape the braids to fall to the waist. Expect measured parting, consistent braid size and shaping that balances volume with comfortable wear.
Including hair at styling lets us create a consistent curl and silhouette from root to tip without relying on your natural length alone. In Silver Spring’s variable climate, the added hair helps maintain shape through humidity and travel, but final texture and movement depend on the specific hair chosen during your consultation.
What to expect in appointment
Plan for a dedicated session: the service length is 300 MINUTES and the listed price is $300. We offer early evening and weekend slots to accommodate transit-oriented commuters from DC and Bethesda. Your appointment includes consultation, application of the included hair, shaping, and a final styling review so you leave with a clear aftercare plan.
Our downtown Silver Spring location makes it easy to combine the appointment with nearby dining or an outing to AFI Silver or Sligo Creek. We promote package deals tied to local destinations, and the team can recommend timing so you can enjoy the rest of your day after a lengthy appointment.
Aftercare and seasonal tips
Aftercare focuses on preserving curl shape and protecting the parting. Gentle cleansing, light moisturising of the scalp, and a protective nighttime routine reduce friction and help the style last. Adjust routine for your schedule: commuters often choose looser daily manipulation to keep the style intact during busy travel days.
These braids are especially popular in Jun, Jul and Dec — summer for travel and December for holiday events — so book early around those peaks. Humid summers in the Mid-Atlantic can change how curls behave; we’ll cover seasonal maintenance during your appointment and recommend timing to match your plans.
