Frequently Asked Questions

A: I serve Baltimore and the DMV corridor, appointments within 45 minutes of downtown Baltimore are included in your base price.

Beyond that, travel fees apply: $25 for the extended DMV area, $50+ for appointments outside. Seven days' advance notice required for travel bookings.

Destination events and special requests? That's negotiable. Message directly and we'll work it out.

A: We specialize exclusively in cornrow-based services, detailed cornrows, neat and refined styles, and small intricate cornrows. All hair textures are welcomed and celebrated. Cornrows are a technique, not a texture requirement, and they can be beautifully adapted for most heads of hair.  

Cornrows do require a certain amount of density and length to hold pattern, tension and longevity. Having hair doesn't automatically mean it's ready for every style, if you're unsure, please book a consultation first. This helps make sure you leave with a style that holds up and looks the way you deserve. 

Note: I don't offer full head knotless plaits, purposely stitched cornrows (mine stitch naturally as part of the technique), crochet, or loc services. Purposely stitched styles require edge gel/pomade applied on or close to the scalp, and like some extension fibers, these products are proving to carry their own toxicity concerns. Edge control isn't a product I build my work around, I use it sparingly, never as a main product.

Braids typically last 4–6 weeks with proper maintenance. Longevity depends on your hair growth rate, daily care, and scalp health. The Cornrow Care Guide details maintenance practices to extend the life of your braids.
