Installation typically takes 2–4 hours depending on hair density, length, and the intricacy of extension placement. We assess your hair beforehand and give a more accurate time estimate during booking to ensure comfortable scheduling and quality results.

A properly executed stitch method minimizes tension; however, initial tightness can occur. Communicate discomfort immediately so we can adjust tension or spacing. We prioritize scalp health, offering gentler installs and follow-up advice to prevent soreness and hairline stress.

With correct care—gentle cleansing, nightly satin protection, and avoiding heavy oil buildup—these braids can stay neat for four to eight weeks. Longevity depends on hair growth rate, maintenance routine, and lifestyle; occasional touch-ups extend their lifespan.
