What the service includes
Studio Chique’s Braid Down PLUS begins with a dedicated cleanse and conditioning service, followed by a professional blow-dry and the careful creation of 10-15 cornrows positioned to suit a wig install or U-part wig. This option is explicitly not for designer cornrows, stitch braids, or twists and will be performed by an assistant team member or a braiding stylist.
Cornrow placement, row spacing and direction determine how an install will sit and how the wig fits. Because hair prep is included, the condition, length and texture of your natural hair influence final fit; additional services or changes requested at appointment time can extend the process. Review add-ons before booking because the allotted time is an estimate and final price may increase.
How the technique works
For Braid Down PLUS the stylist sections the hair and constructs roughly 10-15 cornrows to form a stable, low-profile foundation for a wig. Braid tension, parting accuracy and row direction are practical decisions that affect fit and comfort; the team aims for secure braids without excessive tension to reduce scalp stress while preserving a smooth installation surface.
This service emphasizes function over ornamentation, so we do not include decorative stitch patterns or designer shapes within Braid Down PLUS. If you want intricate or stylistic work beyond a basic foundation, schedule a consultation or select a different braiding service so the booking includes the correct time, pricing and specialist needed for the chosen technique.
