Get answers to common questions about Take down.

Time varies by style complexity, length, and installation method. Most take downs range from one to three hours. We charge $35 per hour, so bring reasonable expectations; our stylist will estimate time and cost during consultation.

When performed by trained stylists, take downs minimize damage. We use gentle detangling, appropriate products, and slow removal to protect roots and strands. If existing damage is present, we'll recommend treatments to restore strength before reinstalling extensions.

Light cleansing is encouraged to remove buildup, but avoid heavy conditioners that can make braids slippery. Clean, dry hair helps our stylists work efficiently. If needed, we can provide a gentle pre-take down cleanse at the salon.

We recommend booking your next appointment before leaving to ensure preferred times. Depending on your plan—restyle, treatment, or new protective style—we can suggest ideal timing and spacing to maintain hair health and prevent unnecessary stress.

Walk-ins are welcome when availability allows, but appointments are recommended, especially for lengthy take downs. Booking secures your preferred stylist and time. Call ahead or use our online scheduler to check openings and confirm rates at $35 per hour.

We use gentle sulfate-free cleansers, lightweight detanglers, oils, and moisturizing sprays, plus combs and soft brushes designed for careful removal. All tools are sanitized. Product choices are tailored to hair type and condition to minimize stress and preserve strength.
