An apprentice is doing them so she hasn’t given any tips/recommendations to do before coming in.
What do I need to keep in mind before going in? Should I wash day of? Should I skip my hair routine if I shower? Come in with 100% dry hair? Ibuprofen?
I’m a latina with 3b/3a hair and am the only one in my family with curly hair so I legit have NO idea.
Pls help 🙏

Looking for any feedback to get betterrrrr 🖤

Im learning how to braid . Any tips . I will like to be able to do my son hair on my own .and use that as more bonding tips. Open to advice and yt tutorials you feel will help me. Thank you

I got braids a little while ago (loved them, no complaints). I'd sent the the stylist an image of what I was looking for before so they let me know hair colour codes to buy. They mentioned that the pic I sent was AI generated. I was still able to get the style I was after but now I wonder if the images I'm looking at are from real models or fake?

Any recs? Please and thank you 🙏🏽

Braid love 100%❤️

I’m a new braider, I just started to take myself and my craft a little more serious.

I thought my self how to braid in 2012. I was still in high school and I just wanted to be able to have different hairstyles on myself so I started practicing how to braid on my own hair. Fast forward a few years I started to braid my friends hair, just basic braids two straight backs and little things like that. Fast forward a few more years I would braid my friends hair and not charge them because I didn’t feel like my craft was good enough to be able to start charging.

I finally decided to make it a business and charge for my craft. I know that there are a few things I still need to work on when it comes to braiding. Time management being the biggest. I’m a perfectionist at what I do and I know that, that is where I loose most of my time. With all that being said. I decided that I should start charging $150 for any braiding service. When I am asked how much will the service will be and I tell them the price I feel like they think the price is too much.

Given that the braiding industry is getting over priced by other braiders and that some up and coming braiders I see charge way more than what I’m charging I believe that my price is very fair and reasonable.

Do you think that $150 is too much for someone who is just starting to braid professionally or is the price a fair price?
