I got my hair braided and so did my daughter...?

My neighbors 17 yr. old did it , as she does hair braiding. Well, we're not real satisfied with result in brief, just curious how much i should be paying for about 3 hours altogether?



i brought hair extension, etc.

If you and your daughter got your hair braided in just 3 hours altogether, the girl who did it probably did not do a good job. Microbraiding takes 8-12 hours at a salon for one person, and even cornrows can take 2-6 per person depending on the length of course. If you aren't satisfied with the results, don't pay her a lot. Really good hair braiding can be $175+ depending, again, on the length, style, etc. I say just pay her what you think it's worth.

3 hours for you both? 20 dollars at most.



Well, really it depends on the type of braids...but apparently it wasn't anything intricate. Guessing she just weaved in the hair in maybe straight back braids? Even with a design, she doesn't need more than 30 if you aren't happy.

i got mine done for free and it took much long 5-10 no higher than 15

I would do the honorable thing and pay her what you told her you would and ask her to fix the problem that you have.



I agree with the first poster about the time involved. Maybe give her a gift of some kind, if you didn't negotiate a cost.



Costs:



Micro and mini-micro braids: After consulting with a stylist, those looking for longer hair styles buy bundles of natural hair (actually two small bunches per pack) from a beauty supply store or salon, (about $30 and up in lengths from 10-18 inches). They're usually available in many colors and textures 閳?curly to straight 閳?to suit the look. The bundles are broken down by the stylist and braided in with the natural hair.



Micro braids are made with about 15-20 strands of hair and take about six to eight hours to style. Cost: about $250. Micro-minis use about five to 10 strands of hair in each braid and take twice as long. Cost: about $350.



Synthetic braids also can be purchased already woven. They're attached to the client's hair using a latch hook, which cuts the time, or they're sewn in using a weft.



Cornrows:A row of hair that is sectioned off and braided, usually straight or at an angle. Cost: about $50 and up.



Twist: Hair is twisted, starting at the scalp in rows. Cost: about $85.



Crazy braids: Random braiding in different directions and patterns. Cost: about $65.



Zigzag braids: Braids close to the head in z-shaped directions. Cost: about $50 and up.



Bantu knots: Hair is divided into plaits then twisted into knots atop the head. Cost: $65-$70.



Box braids: Hair is sectioned into plaits and braided. About $150, depending on length.
