Classic box braids, done right

Box braids are the style that started it all. We section clean, even square parts and braid extensions from the root for a full, polished look with very little daily styling.

Choose small, medium, large or jumbo, from shoulder to waist length. If your edges need a rest, we may suggest knotless braids at the hairline instead, because healthy hair comes first.

Keeping your box braids neat

  • Come prepared. Arrive with your hair washed, fully detangled and blow-dried or stretched, with no heavy product. Your appointment goes faster and your parts come out cleaner.
  • Wrap them at night. A satin scarf or bonnet keeps frizz down and your braids looking fresh longer.
  • Go easy on tight updos. Very high ponytails and tight buns pull on the root. Give your scalp a break, especially in the first few days.
  • Know when to take them out. Most clients keep box braids in for about four to six weeks before booking their next style.

Box Braids questions

What is the difference between box braids and knotless braids?

Box braids start with a small knot at the root, which gives a full look right away. Knotless braids feed in hair gradually with no knot, so they are lighter and gentler on the scalp. We can help you choose.

How long do box braids take?

Most box braid appointments take 4 to 8 hours, depending on size and length.

Do I need to bring my own braiding hair?

No. We provide the braiding hair for your style. If you would rather bring your own, just let us know when you book.

How much do box braids cost?

Box braids are quoted by braid size and length. Call or text (254) 702-7607 with the size and length you want and we will give you a price.
