Good to know

Before you book.

The deposit and the review step are the two things worth understanding before you start.

  1. 01

    The deposit25% of the service is taken to place the request and comes off the total on the day. It is non-refundable unless Ile Ewa cancels.

  2. 02

    Requesting is not confirmingYour appointment stays pending until it is accepted. If something needs clarifying first, you will be contacted before it is confirmed.

  3. 03

    How long it takesThe time against each service is an estimate built from previous appointments, not a fixed figure. It can vary with your hair type, length and finish.

  4. 04

    Your hairPlease bring pre-stretched braiding hair only. If you would rather Ile Ewa bought it for you, say so in your booking notes and a price is sent for you to approve first.

  5. 05

    ExtrasBoho, extra boho, no curls, bum length and beads are added straight after you pick your style, before you choose a time.

  6. 06

    Start times for extensionsAny braided style with extensions has to start at 9am or earlier. These are long appointments and a later start does not leave enough time to finish them properly.

  7. 07

    Moving your appointmentRescheduling needs at least 48 hours’ notice and depends on what else is free that week.

  8. 08

    Coming preparedArrive with your hair washed and fully dried, and taken out of any previous style, unless you have been told otherwise.

  9. 09

    Come on your ownThe space takes one client at a time, so please do not bring a plus one.

  10. 10

    Running lateThe first 10 minutes are a grace period and cost nothing. Past that, £5 is charged for every 10 minutes late, and a long delay may mean the style has to be adjusted to fit the remaining time.

  11. 11

    Custom stylesAnything without a set price is quoted first. Send the reference through and you will be pointed to the right booking once the price is agreed.
