What the service includes
This service covers plait styling for children aged 10 and under. Shampoo and blow-dry are included, but please be considerate of your child's temperament; if they are unlikely to tolerate a salon wash and blow-dry, coming to the appointment already washed and blow-dried is perfectly acceptable. The service does not include any added hair extensions.
Appointments for Kids Plaits are scheduled to allow careful, unrushed work; the service is listed at $150 and typically takes 120 minutes. Asili's Pikesville location along Reisterstown Road is convenient for commuters and nearby families; evening and weekend availability helps busy households in Baltimore, Owings Mills, and Randallstown arrange times around school and work.
Preparing your child for the visit
Consider your child's temperament before the appointment: Asili serves children ages two through ten, so very young or anxious children may prefer a parent nearby, a comfort toy, or a short practice at home. If your child is sensitive to water or noise, arriving pre-washed and blow-dried can make the salon experience smoother.
Plan to arrive a few minutes early for check-in; Pikesville's Reisterstown Road commercial corridor offers convenient parking and quick access from I-695 for families commuting from Owings Mills or Randallstown. Bring a snack or quiet activity to keep your child settled during styling so the stylist can complete the plaits within the booked time.
How results are shaped
The final look of plaits depends on each child's hair length, density and texture as well as how cooperative they are during the appointment. Our team works within the 120 minutes booked to create secure, tidy plaits without adding hair; if you expect a different look that requires extensions, discuss options before booking.
Seasonal weather in the Mid-Atlantic—humid summers and cold winters—can affect how long a plaited style stays neat, so plan touch-ups around outdoor activities and school schedules. Stylists will offer simple at-home care tips at the end of the appointment to help maintain neatness between salon visits.
