What the service includes
Intricate Cornrows - No Added Hair creates detailed, hand-braided cornrow patterns using only your natural hair. This service requires natural hair at least 3 inches long so sections can be firmly braided without added extensions. The quoted price is $175 and the appointment duration is 240 MINUTES. The service does not include any additional styling beyond the braids themselves.
Boxed parts are the standard layout provided; any added length or parting styles other than boxed are available but incur extra cost. The service does not include shampooing and blow-drying unless you arrive with hair already shampooed and fully blow-dried, or you add the appropriate wash/blow-dry add-on when booking.
Preparing for your appointment
You must come with hair shampooed and fully blow-dried, or select the wash/blow-dry add-on at booking. Arriving with clean, dry hair lets the stylist begin the intricate parting and braiding immediately; without it, add-on selection is required. This service excludes additional styling services after the braids are completed, so plan any finishing treatments before booking.
Appointments are scheduled for 240 MINUTES; plan your travel accordingly. HairCUSTOMIZED, LLC serves Laurel and nearby communities—South Laurel, Jessup, Savage, Beltsville, Elkridge and Columbia—and offers evening and weekend openings for commuter and family schedules. Call or text with questions prior to scheduling, and note that no changes can be made to your appointment within 48 hours.
Maintenance and realistic expectations
Longevity and appearance of cornrows without added hair depend on your natural hair length, texture, and local Mid-Atlantic conditions such as summer humidity. Intricate patterns show best when sections are securely braided and scalp tension is managed; discuss desired tightness at booking. Routine home care preserves the style, but this service explicitly does not include follow-up styling appointments.
If you want added length or non-boxed parting patterns, those are offered at an additional cost beyond the $175 base price. Before you book, call or text to confirm availability, pricing for extra services, and any timing considerations—especially if you plan to come before or after commuting via I-95 or the MARC line near Downtown Laurel.
