Everything
worth asking

Yes — bring your own hair and have it pre-stretched. If you would rather Joy sourced it for you, say so when you book and she will price it into the quote.

Three to five packs for most styles, depending on the length and the size you have chosen. Longer or fuller sets need more — ask when she confirms and she will tell you exactly.

Yes. Pre-stretched hair gives a cleaner finish and takes a meaningful amount of time off the appointment, which keeps the price where it is.

Washed and blow-dried before she arrives, with no oils or products left in it. Braiding onto damp or heavily-product-laden hair does not hold.

It depends entirely on the style and the size — every style on the services page lists its own range, from about an hour for men's cornrows to five and a half hours for small knotless braids.

A dining chair, a socket, and good light. Everything else travels with her.

Across Greater Manchester. The areas included as standard are listed on the About page; beyond them there is a small call-out fee, agreed with you before the booking is confirmed.

A £15 deposit holds your slot and comes off the final price on the day — it is not an extra charge. Deposits are non-refundable, because the slot is held for you and turned down for others. The balance is settled once the style is finished.

Yes, with at least 24 hours' notice, and your deposit moves with you to the new date. Less than 24 hours, or a missed appointment, means a fresh deposit for the next booking.

Message her as soon as you know. She will do what she can, but if the style no longer fits the remaining time she may need to shorten it or rebook you.

Yes, as long as it is agreed when you book so the right amount of time is set aside. Mention it in the booking notes.
