Service process and timing
We style age 5–10 hair into two cornrowed sections gathered into two ponytails. The listed service is scheduled for 30 MINUTES and focuses on delivering a neat, age-appropriate look. Expect a focused session that fits busy family schedules, where cornrows are formed and secured into two ponytails using the required hair packs as needed.
A $50 non‑refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment; appointments will not be confirmed without it and may be canceled if it is not received. The full service price is $170, and the remaining balance must be paid in cash at the appointment. Deposits reserve your slot and help reduce last-minute cancellations.
Hair needs and options
Required hair for this style is two packs of 42-inch Expression hair and two packs of 52-inch Expression hair. If you prefer not to source hair beforehand, Expression hair is available for purchase from the stylist at $5 per pack. Purchasing onsite ensures consistent texture and the correct lengths for the two ponytails.
Please note an additional $50 fee may apply if your child’s hair is very short or requires extra preparation, regardless of the braid size selected. That fee covers the additional time and materials needed to prep hair into clean cornrows. If you have concerns about length, contact the salon before booking to clarify requirements.
Local scheduling and travel
Alice African braids and locs is located in West Fayetteville / Cliffdale near Murchison Road and Skibo Road retail corridors, minutes from Fort Liberty. We serve Fayetteville, Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Fort Liberty, Eastover, and Stedman, making quick appointments practical for nearby military families and commuters who need evening or weekend availability.
Fayetteville’s humid subtropical climate can influence how styles hold between washes, so maintenance matters during hot, humid months and tropical storm season. If you need timing that aligns with school, work, or base schedules, mention that when booking so we can suggest suitable appointment slots that work with local commute patterns.
