How the style is created
Lemonade braids are small, side-swept cornrows braided close to the scalp to create a sleek, directional pattern. For this shoulder-length small size you’ll need 4 packs of 52-inch Expression hair; hair is also available from the salon at $5 per pack. Note a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment and an extra $50 prep fee may apply for very short hair.
As a shoulder-length small set, the finished shape sits around the shoulders and offers low daily styling time while maintaining a polished look. Fayetteville’s humid summers can encourage frizz, so tight, well-scaled braids and proper aftercare help the style hold. This service is priced at $220 and typically completes in 30 MINUTES, so it’s a quick option for busy commuters or military families near Fort Liberty.
Preparing for your appointment
To confirm an appointment you must pay a $50 non-refundable deposit; appointments are not confirmed without it and may be canceled if it isn’t received. Bring clean, dry hair if you plan to supply your own extensions. If you’d rather have hair provided, we sell 52-inch Expression packs at $5 per pack. Remember an additional $50 preparation fee may be charged for very short or heavily textured hair regardless of braid size.
The salon is in West Fayetteville / Cliffdale near Murchison Road and Skibo Road retail corridors, convenient for clients coming from Cross Creek Mall, Fort Liberty, or nearby towns like Hope Mills and Spring Lake. Evening and weekend availability can accommodate commuters and military families. Expect to plan around your schedule—this Lemonade Braids Shoulder Length - Small service takes 30 MINUTES and costs $220.
Caring for your braids
Aftercare shapes how long your braids look fresh. Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet and use lightweight scalp moisturizers to reduce dryness; avoid heavy oils that attract lint. In Fayetteville’s humid conditions, gentle nightly care and minimizing friction at the nape keep edges smoother. If you purchased hair here, follow the same routine—the product source doesn’t change basic maintenance.
If you need removal or touch-ups, returning to the salon is recommended rather than attempting DIY removal. Longevity depends on hair growth, scalp care, and activity level, and some clients prefer maintenance appointments for neatness. When booking, remember the $50 non‑refundable deposit secures your time; we may assess an additional $50 fee for extra preparation if required.
