Box Braidsin Parklands, Nairobi
Parklands takes more weekday-evening box braid bookings than any other area we serve. It is close enough to town that a braider can leave a daytime appointment, be at your place by 5pm and still finish a medium install the same night, which is why we rarely have to push Parklands clients to the weekend.
Most of these appointments sit between City Park, Third Parklands Avenue and the roads around Aga Khan Hospital, all reachable off Limuru Road outside hospital peak. Tell us your preferred finish time when you book and we will size the braids to land there rather than running past midnight.

What moves the price: how long you want the box braids to fall, the type of hair used (synthetic, pre-stretched or human hair), how much volume and how small the parts are, and whether you supply your own hair. Bringing your own extensions lowers the total; waist-length installs with lots of volume sit at the top of the range. Transport is quoted separately once your braider knows your location.
