💇🏾‍♀️Braiders & Stylists

What to ask a braider or stylist

1. 1Which styles do you do most? Knotless and box braids are different jobs, and so are locs and retwists.
2. 2Do I bring the hair, or do you supply it? If you supply it, which brand and how many packs?
3. 3How long will the style take, and do you take one client at a time?
4. 4Do you work from home, a salon, or come to me? Is there a travel charge?
5. 5Can I see recent photos of this exact style on hair like mine?

What affects the price

Every Pro quotes their own price. These are the things that move it, so your request gets an accurate number first time.

• •Style and size: small knotless takes far longer than jumbo box braids.
• •Length: waist-length work costs more than shoulder-length.
• •Whether hair is included, and the brand.
• •Prep: wash, blow-dry, trim or detangling before the style.
• •Travel to your home and same-day or weekend availability.

  Every pro on Afrihelps verifies their identity with a government photo ID before their profile goes live, and reviews come only from clients who actually made contact through Afrihelps.

  Nothing. Requesting quotes, messaging and browsing are free for clients, and you agree the price directly with the stylist. Afrihelps takes no commission from either side.
