salon braiding

[jamdoll417]

Hello! We will be crushing on the dream next month and my 7 year old would love to get her hair braided. We have done this in cozumel before but thought it would be fun to do in the salon. Does anyone know pricing for this and if they offer many styles? Thanks so much!

Not to mention the same filthy comb being used in hundreds of other peoples hair every day!

Seems like I’ve read about issues with combs not being clean...bugs getting in people’s hair.

why would you use a comb to braid?

I'm not a hair stylist. It's just what I've read.

thousands of people cruise and hotel get their hair braided on the islands, haven't heard of any epidemics

The use a comb to smooth and separate the strands.  I have heard of people taking their own combs instead of using the ones they have at the stations

Here's the deal with the salon doing the braiding, it is based on resort pricing and the styles offered will be more along the anglo-saxon styles of single french braid, a double french braid, or a Heidi cornet (swedish crown) braiding, than the corn row type done on the islands. A single french braid on an adult in the salon for long hair is $75 plus and automatic 18% tip (I've heard on short hair the same service is $55 + tip) and I don't think the have childrens pricing.

The next problem it is doubtful the salon would even accept an appointment for a child except on days when the ZSpa is being offered. ZSpa is normally for tweens and teens (I believe 12-17) but I believe the salon section has age exceptions when no cutting or chemicals (beyond mousse and hairspray) are involved.

A better bet would be to have this service done by the hairdresser you normally use for the child or yourself prior to leaving for the cruise.
