From hair scarves to socks and jewelry, there is also a random person with something to peddle. And yes, the same guy who sells pepper spray sells earrings too.

Braid styles tend to take a long time, and if you're getting box braids, that's a guaranteed six hours on your bottom. Be prepared for butt and back pain when you finally are able to stand up again.

Don’t always expect to get exactly what you wanted, unless you plan on doing it yourself.

Did you even just get your hair braided if you don’t have random fly-a-ways of fake hair all over your clothes on your way out the door? No.

The best thing you could do is let the hairstylist do what she does best and sit back and relax. Yes the process is long, and rather strenuous, but the end result is always slay!
