What to Expect at Your Appointment

Because Braids by Favor is appointment-only, your visit is focused entirely on you. We take time with sectioning and tension so the finished style looks intentional and feels comfortable. Depending on the style and size you choose, plan for a few hours in the chair — detailed styles like micro braids and small knotless braids take longer than larger, simpler styles.

Curious how styles compare? Our guide to knotless braids vs. box braids breaks down the differences.
