What we do
Forty-six services, six chairs' worth of skill
Swipe each row. Tap any service to see what it costs and how long it takes.
Braids & plaits
Jumbo braids
R280Big, bold and much faster than small braids. The best value if you want length without a whole day in the chair.
Feed-in / stitch braids
R250Hair fed in as we go, so the braid starts flat and thin at your scalp. Gentler on the edges than a tight plait.
Box braids
R350Square partings, braided to the end. Bring a friend and something to watch — this one is a proper sitting.
Tribal / Fulani braids
R400Patterned partings with beads if you want them. Tell us the pattern you have in mind, or let us choose for your face.
Knotless braids
R450No knot at the root, so no pulling and no headache on day one. The kindest braid for your scalp. Book a morning.
Micro braids
R650The finest braids we do, and they last the longest. A full day's work by two pairs of hands.
Children's braids
R120Gentle hands, loose tension, and we work fast because little ones do not sit still. Under twelve.
Locs & twists
Loc retwist
R200Roots retwisted and tidied. Come every four to six weeks and your locs stay sharp instead of growing out loose.
Two-strand twists
R250Your own hair twisted in pairs. Wear it twisted, then unravel it later for the wave. Two styles, one price.
Loc bonding — starting your locs
R450The first day of your locs. We section, part and bond, and we tell you honestly how they will settle over the first six months.
Passion twists
R450Soft, curly and light on the head. The most popular twist we do, and the easiest to live with.
Faux locs
R500Locs without the commitment. Wear them two months, take them out, your own hair untouched underneath.
Soft locs
R550Lighter and softer than faux locs, and they move properly. Worth the extra hour.
Butterfly locs
R550The looped, textured finish. Distinctive, and nobody else on your corridor will have them.
Weaves, wigs & extensions
Wig fitting — glueless
R200Fitted and secured without glue on your hairline. In and out in your lunch break.
Weave install — sew-in
R250Cornrowed base, wefts sewn in. Bring your own bundles or buy Brazilian hair here.
Ponytail install
R250Sleek, high and holding. The one for a wedding, a graduation or a photograph.
Wig customisation
R300Plucked hairline, bleached knots, cut and styled to your face. This is what turns a shop wig into your wig.
Closure install
R350A closure piece finishes the crown so there is no visible parting join.
Frontal install
R450Ear to ear, so you can part it anywhere and wear it off the face. The most natural finish we offer.
Cuts, fades & razor work
Line-up / shape-up
R40Edges squared off, hairline sharpened. Come every two weeks between cuts and you always look fresh.
Beard trim & shape
R40Lined, shaped and evened out. Say if you want it kept full or taken right down.
Children's cut
R50Under twelve. Patient hands, and we do not mind if they wriggle.
Gents cut
R60Clippers, scissors, or both. Tell us the number you want on the sides and we will take it from there.
Head shave
R60Clean to the skin, finished with hot towel and balm so it does not burn afterwards.
Skin fade
R80NewFaded down to the skin and blended properly — high, mid or low, your call. This is the cut our barbers are best at.
Razor line art
R80Our signatureDesigns shaved into the fade — single curves, geometric parts, or something drawn for you. Show us a picture, or let us design it.
Ladies' tapered natural cut
R100NewShort natural hair, shaped and tapered so the curl sits properly. Add a razor design or colour to finish.
Cut + beard together
R110The full sit-down. Cheaper than booking the two separately.
Finger waves
R150Set by hand into flat S-waves. Classic, and it photographs beautifully.
Treatments & chemical work
Deep conditioning
Deep conditioning — olive oil
R100Washed, treated and steamed with the ORS olive oil range we keep in the salon. Do this before any braid appointment.
Wash & set
Wash & set
R100Washed, rollered and set under the dryer. Comes out with body that lasts the week.
Blow out treatment
R120Stretched out straight and smooth with heat protection first. Good before braiding, good on its own.
Relaxer
Relaxer
R180Roots only or the full length. We patch test and we do not leave it on a minute longer than it needs.
Silk press
R200Straight and glossy with no chemicals at all, and it washes back to your curl.
S-Curl
S-Curl
R220The wave texturiser. Softens the curl without straightening it flat. Bring it back for a top-up every few months.
Colour, bleach & tint
R250NewBlonde, silver, copper or a full lift. We will tell you straight if your hair can take it today or if it needs a treatment first.
Nails, lashes & brows
Brow shape
R50Threaded or waxed, shaped to your face rather than to a stencil.
Gel overlay
R150Your own nails, strengthened and glossed. Two to three weeks with no chips.
Pedicure
Pedicure
R150Soak, file, cuticles, massage and polish. Sit down properly for an hour.
Lash lift
R180Your own lashes curled up and set for six weeks. No extensions to maintain.
Classic lash extensions
R200One extension on each natural lash. Natural-looking, and the easiest to keep.
Acrylic full set
R250Any length, any shape. Nail art priced per nail on top — bring a picture.
Makeup
Makeup
R250Day, evening or full glam, matched to your skin. Book it alongside a hair appointment and do both in one sitting.
Volume lashes
R320Fans of several fine lashes on each natural one. Full and dramatic, and still light on the eye.
These prices are a guide and start from. The final price depends on length, size and how much hair goes in. See the full price list and exactly what changes it →

What people say
From the chair
★★★★★
I live upstairs in the res and I have been going down to Grace since first year. They know my hair now. Knotless braids took the whole Saturday but I did not feel a thing on the Sunday.
★★★★★
Best fade in the CBD and I have tried a few. He does the line so sharp it looks drawn on. I come every second Friday before work.
★★★★★
I got off the Rea Vaya, walked in with no booking and they still fitted me in for a wash and blow out. Forty minutes and I made my meeting.
★★★★★
They started my locs here two years ago and have looked after them since. Honest about what my hair could and could not do, which I appreciated.
★★★★☆
Lovely work on my daughter's braids and very patient with her. Only reason it is not five is that it was busy and we waited a while. Message ahead is my advice.
★★★★★
Asked for a design shaved in the side and showed them a picture on my phone. They did it better than the picture.
