Picking a braid style at Wonderful Braids

The salon's website names twists, box braids and knotless braids among its work. Each price is a starting figure that rises with the length you choose. Large knotless braids start at $180, small box braids at $220 and small knotless braids at $240.

The salon says it takes clients aged 12 and up. If you are booking for a younger child, that rules this salon out. Bring a photo of the look you want. One reviewer describes the braider working from a picture.
