Our aftercare policy

Every style is checked with you before your appointment ends. We go through the finished result together, and if anything isn’t right, we fix it then and there. Your style leaves in the condition we both agreed was right.

Because of this, care and styling choices after your appointment are your responsibility, including:

  • Using styling products not suited to your braid or loc type
  • Applying heat (flat irons, curling irons or blow-dryers) directly to braiding hair or extensions
  • Tight extra styling, excessive pulling, or changing the braids beyond how they were installed

Synthetic braiding hair reacts differently from natural hair to heat and some products. Following this guide is the best way to enjoy your style for its full recommended wear.

If you ever feel persistent pain, unusual tension or irritation, contact us straight away. Your comfort and scalp health always come first.
