What the style involves
This service delivers 10 to 15 stitch (stich) braids placed straight to the back, with no decorative designs. Braiding hair is included to ensure consistent texture and color through the finished style. Color customization such as highlight accents or multi-color blends is available, with additional charges possible depending on complexity. The listed price is $185 and the scheduled time is 190 minutes.
Because the layout is a simple straight-back pattern without design elements, the visible result depends heavily on sectioning and hair preparation. A clean, blow-dried, product-free, fully detangled base allows even, neat parts and uniform braid tension. Additional detangling at the appointment may require extra service time or fee, which affects the overall session length.
Preparation and arrival policies
To deliver consistent, professional results we require hair to arrive clean, blow-dried, product-free, and fully detangled. A 15-minute grace period is provided; appointments cannot be held beyond that time. No extra guests are allowed in the service area. The remaining balance is due at the appointment and can be paid with cash, Zelle, or Cash App.
Plan travel and timing around Marquette Park and the broader Chicago Lawn area: many clients coordinate visits with work, school, and family schedules. Chicago’s four seasons mean weather can affect commute times and comfort; allow extra travel time along Marquette Road, Pulaski Road, or Cicero Avenue so your appointment can start on time.
On the day expectations
On arrival confirm your color preferences and be prepared for an appointment that occupies approximately 190 minutes. The stylist will use the included braiding hair and follow the straight-back sectioning requested. Because the service excludes decorative designs, time is focused on clean, consistent parts and secure braids. Remaining payment is collected at the end of the session.
After the appointment you should expect routine upkeep to keep braids neat between visits; schedule and care decisions are shaped by your daily routines and local climate. If extra detangling or adjustments were needed at the start, discuss any follow-up timing with the stylist so future appointments match family, work, and school schedules common in the Southwest Side neighborhoods we serve.
