Hey Pinchbraiders. I've been doing pinchbraids since October (with one big break for an injury). Anyway, between combing, sectionning and installing it's averaging me three minutes per braid. I think this seems really slow. Can you guys ask your installer how long it's taking generally. I think I read where full heads were taking 2-3 hours, where my work seems to be three hour minimum. Yikes!!! |

Well, it takes Isaac 3 hours or so to do my hair (never as fast as 2
hours), but he's been doing it forever. I'm sure you'll get faster with
time. I would think for the first few months or so, it could take up to
7 or 8 hours. :) |

Sheesh.....3 hours seems like luxury to me! It usually takes about 7 hours doing my own head! (Not pinchbraids of course)

3 hours a head? Oh boy no. Takes me at least 6 for a full head. (Tho' I
do mean full, like with every single hair except for the part and
hairline in braids.) I am a slow braider, I think, but I've been
getting a little faster over the years. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

I meant three hours for a fill, not a whole head..Thanks a lot you guys. I was just wondering if I was making decent progress. It's basically why I charge for the install, not by the hour at the moment; because, why should someone pay extra for my slowness? I try to make up for it by serving wine and showing videos. I find most people will hang out all day if they can watch the tube. Thanks again. |

| A whole head is definitely a 5-6 hour process. I guess most stylists just get into a zen about it and braid sort of on auto-pilot. Any client who expects it to be a fast process needs to practice a few pinchbraids. |

Scotchy - its been a big hit to let my friends play videogames while doing their hair. you get so wrapped up in it you dont even realize 4 hours have gone by
