What moves the price
- Type of service — braids, locs or a silk press take far more time in the chair than a cut or a wash and style.
- Length of the hair — long or dense hair takes longer to wash, detangle, braid or press, so the visit costs more.
- Experience level of the stylist — a stylist who specialises in afro and textured hair usually charges more for that skill.
- Products used — braiding hair, extensions and specialist moisture products are added to the price when the stylist supplies them.
Hairdressing prices in Ireland are up 26% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Hairdressing, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical afro & textured hair would have cost about €65 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price (includes the 2023 VAT change).

How to pay less
- Bringing your own braiding hair, if the stylist agrees, can cost less than paying for the hair they supply.
- Arriving with your hair washed and detangled, if the stylist is happy with that, can cut time from the appointment and the price.
- Looking after protective styles between visits can stretch the time before the next braiding or retwist appointment.
- Shorter braids or a simpler twist-out take less time than long, detailed braiding, so you can ask what each would cost.
Before you book
- Access to your hair for examination and treatment.
- Information on any previous treatments or products used.
- A clear idea of your desired style or look.
- It helps to keep the afternoon free, as braiding and other textured hair styles can take longer than expected.
