Cornrowed Updo (11-15 Braids)

(17 customer reviews)

$150.00

A braided up-do is the ultimate set-it and forget it style. This style offers a sleek, protective style that keeps your hair off your shoulders while giving you that refined finish. Get this look with your own hair or with added-hair. Heads up: For this style, we recommend this bundle from our own line of pre-stretched braiding hair. It’s hypoallergenic, super lightweight and currently available in colors 1B and 4. Pro Tip: For a sleek finish and longer lasting braids, we recommend stretching your hair out with a blow dryer before your stylist arrives. If you need help, you can add-on a pre-style blowout when booking.  Please be sure to purchase your hair and any beads before your appointment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to buy my own hair?

    How long do Cornrowed Updos last?

    This style can typically last 2–3 weeks, depending on your hair texture and how well you maintain the style.

      She was a about 10-15 min. late but, she made up for it with her personality and how quickly she styled my hair. I had to show here the picture a few times before it was final but, I think she was trying to not scare me with how big the hair was going to be when she finished. For me, I only needed 4 packs. I purchased 6 and she used 5. An overall great experience as usual.

      Would like to see how style is progressing before complete. Was happy that Emmanuela listened and re-did part of the style that I did not like.

      Overall Emma was great. She was on time, professional and did a great job with my hair. She didnt ask me any questions about my style or haircare but to be fair I didn’t ask her either. My only request would be that some effort be made to clean up afterwards as there was a ton of hair on the floor. But simply styling was great.

      I really loved Erica, and this service is a god send for newbies to the natural game like myself…I wish there was a transitioning package I could get for the year with various protective styles in the package and products to use regularly

      Majorie was awesome and did an incredible job on my hair. I honestly didn’t even expect to love it as much as I do! She assured me through the process that the style I choice when people are worried about how it may turn out they end up loving it and she was so right! She listened to exactly what I wanted and the result are beyond what I expected, I will definitely be using this service and Marjorie again.

      This was just the best experience. Nothing bests the convenience of getting your hair done in your own home. I have been so annoyed with my hair lately and it’s just so convenient to have it styled in a cute protective style right in my own home. Amazing experience and can’t wait to book my next appointment!
