Cornrows are a classic Afro hairstyle, cherished for both their aesthetic appeal and practicality. Easy to maintain and versatile for all ages, they are highly sought after for at-home services. But how much should you expect to pay for such a service?
Factors influencing the price of cornrows
The price of cornrows depends on several factors:
- Number of rows: The more braids there are, the more precise and time-consuming the work.
- With or without extensions: Installation with extensions (for added length or volume) costs more.
- Complexity of patterns: Zigzags, curves, or designs increase the service duration.
- Adult or child: Prices are often adjusted for younger clients.
- Your location: Prices can be higher in urban areas than in rural areas.
Tip: On Zenaba, each stylist indicates whether hair extensions are included or not.
