What the style requires
These Gypsy Braids require clean, blow-dried hair with no leave-in conditioner or oil—bring hair prepared exactly as requested. The style uses added hair: three bags of deep wave human hair plus three bags of Xpression Prestretched; those Xpression packs are available for purchase at the salon starting at $80, color-dependent.
Plan for a significant time commitment: the service duration is 330 MINUTES and the posted price is $370. Because this appointment takes several hours, customers in Cypress and nearby Houston neighborhoods often schedule evenings, after-school slots, or weekends. Book early for busiest months—May, June, July and December—to secure preferred times.
How the result is shaped
Large, lower-back Gypsy Braids rely on volume and length delivered by the added hair. The combination of deep wave human hair and prestretched Xpression creates the thickness and drape clients expect; braid size and placement determine final silhouette. Expect your stylist to balance fullness with scalp comfort when choosing sectioning and tension.
Because substantial extension volume adds weight, discuss comfort and daily styling options with your stylist; heavier braids may feel different during long days or commutes. Houston’s humid climate can influence how waves settle, so avoid oils or leave-in conditioners that can loosen grip. Many clients praise the salon’s professional, clean atmosphere and are pleased with their finished braids.
Appointment and aftercare details
Arrive with hair freshly washed and fully blow-dried; do not apply leave-in conditioner, serums, or oils before your appointment. The 330 MINUTES session may include short comfort breaks, so plan your day accordingly. We serve Cypress, Katy and nearby Houston areas—easy access from U.S. 290 makes arrival straightforward for commuters and families.
To keep braids neat longer, sleep with a silk or satin scarf and avoid heavy conditioning products that can loosen extensions. Schedule touch-ups or removal as needed; consult your stylist for timing based on wear. Because demand rises in May–July and December, reserve appointments well in advance, especially evenings and weekend slots popular with local families.
