Yes, you are welcome to bring your own hair extensions. We also have a variety of high-quality hair extensions available for purchase at the salon. We do offer bulk hair for boho styles. You must purchase your hair separately before the appointment via our website or in person in the store. Please be sure we have the length in stock prior to booking your appointment. Sometimes we may have to order the length you need and therefore the shipping time will need to be considered before booking your appointment. We will not cut the hair off the weft for you, so we suggest purchasing bulk human hair which is meant for braiding. Black Lotus Braid Lounge offers weft options as well as bulk hair options.

To prepare for your braiding appointment, please detangle your hair. Consider booking a shampoo or braid take down service with us to ease your preparation. Loyalty Members enjoy a complimentary shampoo service with most braid and twist installs. Note: Severely matted hair may incur an additional charge. All services at our Lawrenceville Town Center location come with complimentary shampo service.
Braiding times vary based on the style, length, size, and overall customization of your service. Most appointments can range anywhere from a few hours to a full day for more detailed or longer styles.
Because every client’s hair density, desired size, and add-ons are different, exact timing may vary. We focus on clean parts, healthy tension, and a polished finish — which means we prioritize quality and care over rushing the process.
When booking, you’ll see estimated time ranges for each service. If you’re on a schedule or need guidance, we’re always happy to recommend a style that fits your timeframe. Do not book appointments on days that you have a tight schedule or need to attend a function by a certain time.
We require at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee is applied for late cancellations or no-shows. We charge a cancellation fee of 30% of the service fee if you do not cancel your appointment within 48 hours. Failure to cancel will result in a no-show fee, which is the forfeiture of your deposit. No exceptions. Late fee is $15, and is applicable if you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment.
