Braid-Outs
Expert braid-out styling creates defined waves that highlight natural texture with lasting shape.
A braid-out is a styling technique that uses braids to set natural curls or waves into a defined shape. Our stylists gently braid the hair, allow it to set, then release the braids to reveal soft, structured waves. The process respects the hair’s natural pattern and can be customized for various lengths and textures.

Service Details
A braid-out is a styling technique that uses braids to set natural curls or waves into a defined shape. Our stylists gently braid the hair, allow it to set, then release the braids to reveal soft, structured waves. The process respects the hair’s natural pattern and can be customized for various lengths and textures.
The result is a low-maintenance style that retains shape for several days with minimal manipulation. Guests are advised to protect the style with a silk pillowcase and limit heat exposure to preserve the wave definition.
Before your visit
Arriving with clean, detangled hair is helpful; the stylist will wash and moisturize the hair as part of the service.
Aftercare
We recommend gentle handling, a silk or satin pillowcase, and minimal heat exposure; a light hold product can be used as needed.
