Hairstyles
All the pictures you see on this page are my braiding designs done by me. I perform braiding on both horses and people. I usually determine cost of the hairstyle based on the number of strands of braids chosen, how many braids there are and the degree of difficulty (usually based of length of time).
​
A special feature I take pride in in my company is the fact that if there is a style or a braid you don't see in my portfolio and can describe the look you want or provide a picture showing me what it is you want, I will do it to the best of my ability and price it on the spot.
​
Please understand that hairstyles may look different on every person depending on their hair length and thickness.
