Q: What do I need to prepare for my appointment?
A: To ensure a smooth appointment, here’s what you need to prepare:
Wash your hair (you can do this the night before).
Be on time. Late arrival of more than 10 minutes will result in cancellation if another client is booked for the next slot.
Make sure your hair is free of knots: It’s important to come with hair that’s already detangled. If your hair has knots, it will take up valuable time to detangle, in which case I would either:
Rush through the braiding process, which won’t give you the best result, or
Ask you to choose a simpler style to fit the time frame.
During busy periods like school holidays, time slots get fully booked, so it’s essential I stay on schedule to avoid delays for other clients. Additionally, if your hair has a significant number of knots, knot removal will be charged.
Please be informed that the studio space is limited and can only comfortably accommodate 2 accompanying adults or 1 adult and up to 2 kids inside. Larger groups are kindly requested to wait outside. A shaded balcony and garden area are available for your comfort.
Q: Can I pay with Eftpos/credit card?
A: Currently, it is cash or Pay ID only. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Q: Do I need to pay a deposit for booking? Can I cancel?
A: No, you don’t need to pay a deposit for individual bookings. Hence, there is no charge either for cancellation. But I would appreciate it if you cancel at least 4 hours before. However, if you have had a no-show on your record, a deposit of $25 is required to secure the next booking. This deposit is non-refundable should you cancel or fail to show up, but you can reschedule once (4 hours before).
Q: Can I get braids if my hair is short? What is the minimal length?
A: There isn't a single, definitive answer to this, as it really depends on factors like the style you choose, your hair texture, density, and whether your hair is even length all around. For Afro-textured hair, the minimum length for cornrows is typically around 10 cm. For straight hair, it's usually around 15 cm. If your hair is thicker, it's often recommended to go for smaller braids. Keep in mind, extra short hair can be much more challenging to braid and maintain. If you're unsure about your hair's suitability for cornrows, feel free to text me and send a photo so we can discuss.
Q: How long do (mermaid/extension) braids last?
A: Most of my clients can keep them for around one week, some can keep them for two weeks, or even more. But it also depends on the hair type and how you look after the braids. Thick short hair in straight/blunt cut will stick out of the extensions a lot faster than thin and long hair. Also some extensions are fluffier than others, which will hold your hair in longer than the silkier extensions. In general, the smaller the braids, the longer they last. So if you have very thick hair, you might want to consider having four braids instead of two (note: pic in gallery). Using a silk pillow case or a silk durag while sleeping also helps minimise frizz.
Q: What colour extensions do you have?
A: I have over 40 colours: varieties of single colours and ombre. If you are after one particular colour, please note in your booking. I will let you know if I don't have it.
Q: Can you braid curly hair?
A: I've had some experience with curly hair, but if you have curly hair, I recommend to blow dry your hair straight after washing prior to your appointment. This will help achieve better results. Please write a note on your booking if you are coming with curly hair, as I will need to allow more time. And an extra charge may apply.
Q: What is the best way to contact you?
A: I won't be able to answer my phone when I am with a client, so text messages (not FB Messenger) are the best. I try to check my phone in between clients.
