I had such a wonderful experience getting my boho braids done! Sheila and Isha are truly amazing at what they do. They were professional, kind, and so attentive throughout the entire process. You can tell they really care about their clients and take pride in their work—my braids came out absolutely beautiful and I’m in love with them!
I was originally booked with Mariama, and even though my previous stylist ghosted me last minute, she was incredibly kind and accommodating in helping me get in. The whole team made what could have been a stressful situation feel easy and welcoming.
Such a sweet group of ladies and such great energy. I’ll definitely be coming back!...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Cornrows.

How long do Cornrows typically last on natural hair without maintenance?

With proper preparation and care, cornrows can last three to eight weeks depending on hair growth, braid size, and maintenance. Tightness, scalp care, and nighttime protection like silk scarves extend longevity. Schedule touch-ups if you notice excessive frizz or slippage.

Will Cornrows damage my natural hair or cause breakage when installed properly?

When braided by experienced stylists using correct tension and protective techniques, cornrows minimize damage. Avoid overly tight braids, frequent re-braiding, and neglecting scalp care. Communicate sensitivity or thinning areas so your braider can adjust style and tension for healthier wear.

How should I wash and maintain Cornrows at home between salon visits?

Use diluted shampoo and gentle massaging to cleanse the scalp without disrupting braids. Rinse thoroughly, apply lightweight conditioner focused on ends, and dry completely to prevent mildew. Moisturize scalp with oils and protect hair at night with a silk bonnet or scarf.

Can I style Cornrows differently for formal and casual occasions?

Absolutely. Cornrows are highly versatile — change parting direction, incorporate accessories, create updos, buns or ponytails to fit events. Your braider can design smaller or larger rows and creative patterns for a polished, understated, or statement look suitable for any occasion.

How long does the Cornrows appointment typically take in salon including consultation?

Appointment time varies with braid size, pattern complexity and hair length — expect anywhere from one and a half to four hours. A quick consultation before styling helps set expectations, timing, and any modifications for comfort or protective sizing.

Can Cornrows be combined with extensions or added hair for length or volume?

Yes. Extensions can be integrated for length, thickness, or design accents. Your braider will select appropriate hair type and attach method to protect your natural hair. Proper installation and maintenance reduce tension, promoting comfortable wear and seamless, natural-looking results.
