How to use these guides
Our guides answer the questions clients ask most before booking. Each one explains a topic in plain language, with practical advice and honest limits. They are written to help you decide, not to push you into booking. If a guide leaves you with a question, message us and we will answer it.
Braid guides
If you are choosing between styles, start with knotless vs box braids. If you want to know how long a style lasts, read how long knotless braids last. If you already have box braids, how to maintain box braids covers daily care. Planning butterfly locs? How much hair they need explains why there is no single number.
Wig guide
Our wig installation guide explains how to prepare, what happens during the appointment and how to care for the wig afterwards. It is a good starting point if you have never had a wig installed.
Massage guides
If you are curious about relaxing treatments, read the Indian head massage guide and reflexology: what to expect. Both explain what a session is like and who should check with a doctor first.
Home visit guide
If you are thinking about having a service at home, read braids at home in Tokyo. It explains how booking works, how to prepare and what to expect on the day.
Questions we hear most
People often ask how much a style costs, how long it takes, how long it lasts and whether we come to their home. Cost depends on style, size, length and hair used, so we quote each client individually. Time and wear depend on the style and your hair. We do come to homes and offices across Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama. Our pricing FAQ and home visit FAQ cover more.
How we write our guides
We keep the advice practical and honest. We do not make medical claims, and where research is limited, such as with reflexology, we say so. We also avoid fixed prices and promises, because every client and every style is different. If something does not apply to you, ask us.
Quick answers
How long do braids last? Commonly about four to eight weeks, depending on style, size and care. Is hair included? We confirm in your quote. Is there a travel fee? It may apply depending on distance, and we confirm it before you commit. Do you come to my home? Yes, across Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama. Is massage medical treatment? No, it is for relaxation.
Where to start
If you are new to braids, begin with the braids hub and the knotless vs box guide. If you want a relaxing treatment, read the massage guides. If you want a wig service, begin with the wig guide. If you are not sure, message us and tell us what you want, and we will point you to the right place.
A note on health
Our guides are general information, not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, an injury or concerns about your scalp, skin or feet, check with a doctor before booking.

We add new guides as clients ask new questions. If there is a topic you would like us to cover, such as a particular style, service or home visit question, message us and tell us. Your question may become the next guide.
Our approach to honest advice
We would rather tell you something is not right for you than sell you a service that disappoints. That means we say when a wig is beyond repair, when a style may not suit your scalp, or when you should see a doctor first. Our guides follow the same approach, so you can trust what you read.
