What's included and hair
This service includes two packs of 42-inch Expression hair and two packs of 52-inch Expression hair, sized for mid-back to waist braids on teenagers age 13–17. Additional packs are sold at $5 each; if your natural hair is very short or needs prep, an extra $50 fee may apply, charged regardless of braid size.
The knotless small braid quantity and weight are chosen to reach mid-back to waist while keeping individual braids finer. The stylist balances braid density and placement to achieve the targeted length and manage overall weight so the style suits teenage heads and the stated size range.
How the knotless method works
Knotless braiding is built by feeding extension hair into each section gradually so the braid begins with natural hair and added strands instead of one large root knot. That feeding method influences how the braid lies at the scalp and how the finished braid tapers toward the ends.
The install involves careful sectioning, feeding, and finishing, and the full session runs about 325 MINUTES. Local factors like Fayetteville’s humid summers and a client’s daily routine can affect how the braid settles and how often small maintenance is needed.
What to expect appointment-wise
Plan a full service visit: the listed price is $260 and the appointment length is 325 MINUTES. The remaining balance must be paid in cash at checkout. If extra preparation is required because hair is very short, expect an additional $50 fee regardless of braid size chosen.
Alice African braids and locs is located in West Fayetteville/Cliffdale near the Murchison and Skibo retail corridors, minutes from Fort Liberty and Cross Creek Mall. Because the install is lengthy, arrange your schedule so you can arrive on time and complete the appointment without rush.
