How the style is made
This service arranges medium-sized cornrows that are braided along the scalp and gathered into a ponytail. The braid size, your natural hair length, and whether added hair is used will shape the final look. The salon lists the service price as $230 and the appointment duration as 30 MINUTES; the style is planned to be completed within that booked time.
There are trade-offs to consider: medium cornrows offer a balanced look between tight scalp braids and thicker box braids, but they need enough base hair or extensions to form a full ponytail. In Fayetteville, many clients book around commute schedules—our location near Murchison Road and Fort Liberty makes short, efficient appointments practical for busy customers.
Hair and supplies needed
You will need 4 packs of 52-inch Expression hair for this service. If you prefer, hair is available from the stylist at $5 per pack. Bringing your own approved hair ensures color match and texture preference; if you purchase hair from the salon, we can prepare it to match the medium cornrows and ponytail during your appointment.
A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment; appointments will not be confirmed without this deposit and may be canceled if it is not received. Note there may be an additional $50 fee if your natural hair is very short or requires extra preparation, regardless of the braid size selected.
Aftercare and scheduling
Follow-up care should account for Fayetteville's humid subtropical climate—humidity can increase frizz and affect hold. Protect braids at night with a scarf or bonnet, keep the scalp clean and moisturized, and avoid heavy product buildup. Routine upkeep helps the ponytail remain neat between touch-ups and can reduce tension on the scalp.
Because many clients in this suburban, commuter-oriented area combine salon visits with errands or shifts, plan appointments around your schedule and allow for the $50 deposit to confirm the booking. If you expect short-notice schedule changes related to Fort Liberty shifts, contact the salon early so we can help reschedule within availability.
