Best Box-braids in Seattle, WA

Box braids are a style of braids named after the “box-like” (square) shape of the sections of hair separated at the scalp in order to start the braids. Box braids sometimes include the addition of extensions and are available in a variety of colors, widths, and lengths.

Box braids costs range from $75 to $500, depending on the type of massage selected, whether an individual or couple receives services and whether the massage includes upgrades such as premium oils or hot stones.

Tipping 20 percent of the total cost for your box braids appointment is the best rule of thumb to follow. Consider varying your tip based on the cleanliness of the braider’s working area, their friendliness, and your satisfaction with the results.

Box braids may range from 15 minutes to 120 minutes, depending on the size of the box braids, whether extensions are included, and the training of the braid technician.
