Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Retouch.

A retouch focuses on tightening and refreshing the perimeter or crown braids. We remove loose hair, redo new growth sections, and secure edges for a neat look. It preserves the overall style, reduces tension, and extends the life of your braids.

Most retouches take between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on the area and braid complexity. Perimeter-only retouches are quicker, while crown or intricate styles require more time. We'll give a precise estimate when you book or arrive for consultation.

When performed correctly by experienced stylists, retouches minimize tension and protect edges. We assess hair health, use gentle techniques, and advise on spacing and maintenance to avoid damage. If you have fragile edges, we'll recommend tailored options to keep your hair safe.

Most clients return every 2–6 weeks depending on hair growth, activity level, and desired neatness. Faster growth or frequent styling may require earlier touch-ups. We'll recommend a personalized schedule during your appointment to balance style longevity and hair health.

Yes — we can match added hair or blend color at the perimeter when possible. Additional charges may apply for extra hair or complex color work. Share reference photos when booking so we prepare the right color and length for a seamless finish.

Pricing varies by braid style, length, and the area needing attention. Simple perimeter retouches cost less than full crown work or intricate patterns. We'll assess during booking or consultation and provide a clear price based on your hair type and desired results.
