Children — Freestyle Braids
Ages 5–15. Creative-control freestyle braids designed just for your child.
Service Description
For children ages 5–15. Give Gifted Hands creative control to create a unique freestyle braid design based on your child's hair, scalp, length, density, and overall look. Base price starts at $80. Added weave, accessories, hair preparation, or other approved extras increase the final total. Appointment time is reserved generously and is not hourly pricing; finishing early does not reduce the flat service price. A $20 non-refundable booking deposit is required and applies toward the service total.
