Straight-back cornrows, feed-ins and stitch braids, and children's cornrows with a parent beside the chair. Speaks Haitian Creole and French. Tuesday to Friday.
Service
Cornrows and feed-ins
Braids that lie flat to the scalp, from a simple straight-back set to a pattern drawn across the head. Worn on their own or as the base for another style.
Who it suits
Adults, teens and children who want a style that is quick to wear and simple to wrap at night. Cornrows are also the base under crochet, so a lot of crochet days start here.
Feed-in or straight back
Straight-back cornrows use your own hair. Feed-ins add braiding hair gradually as each braid runs back, for length. Stitch braids and patterns add a design to the parts.
What happens
How a cornrow day runs
Shorter than a knotless day, and the number of braids sets most of the difference.

What sets the time and the price
Before you pick a size
Number of braids
Fewer, larger braids take less time. A pattern with many turns takes more.
Added hair
A style with added hair takes longer than your own hair alone. The booking page shows whether the studio or you supply it.
Pattern and length
Stitch parts, curved parts and a braided ponytail each add hours, and so does length.
Who braids this
Two braiders for cornrows
Byron Fairley

Questions about this style
Can my child get cornrows?
Yes, from age four, with a parent or guardian beside the chair for the whole visit. Sessions are shorter and have breaks.
How long do I wear them?
Plan on about two to four weeks for your own hair and longer for feed-ins. Your braider will say what suits your hair when you book.
Can you take a design from a photo?
Yes. Send the photo with your booking and your braider will tell you if the pattern fits the day.
