We run to time
Every style is timed properly in the diary — a full head of medium knotless is booked as five hours, not squeezed into three.
Insured and patch-tested
Lash and tint clients are patch-tested at least 24 hours ahead. It's an insurer requirement and we don't make exceptions.
Scalp-first styling
No tension, no crying children, no headaches at bedtime. If a braid is too tight, we take it out and do it again.
What we do
Three counters, one appointment
Come in for braids and leave with the bonnet, the oil and the earrings that finish the look. Most clients book hair and beauty together.

Priced honestly, from the start
Braiding is quoted 'from' because length and braid size genuinely change the work. You'll always get a firm price before we begin — never a surprise at the till.

In store
The fashion counter

Weekends book out around three weeks ahead.
Pick your style, pick your stylist, pay a deposit and it's yours. The whole thing takes about a minute.
Book your appointmentTerms & conditions
What you're agreeing to when you book
The short version. You'll confirm you've read it before your booking goes through.
Deposits
Every appointment takes a deposit, deducted from your final bill. Your slot is held for 24 hours until it's paid.
48 hours' notice
Move or cancel free up to 48 hours before and your deposit carries over. Inside that we keep it — a five-hour slot can't be refilled at short notice.
Patch tests
Lashes, lash lifts, lamination and any tint need a free patch test at least 24 hours beforehand. It's an insurance requirement, so we can't waive it.
“From” prices
Length, braid size and hair density genuinely change the work. Your stylist confirms the exact price before starting — you'll never be charged more than you agreed.
These are the terms in full — worth two minutes before a five-hour appointment.
