Are braids available "on every corner" like they are in Mexico? Or should I get my hair done before I get there?

There aren't too many corners. braids are available, but not like they are in Mexico.

Personally, I would do them before hand, but doing it there you cna meet some locals and have a relaxing time while getting it done.

any idea on the cost???

My daughter had hers done on CC. Marla charged $45BZ, and Tiffany charged $80BZ. Marla was cheaper because she lived out of the way.

thanks Cinca.... if anyone knows the going rate on AC i'd appreciate that too!!! thanx...

Braiding, is $20 to $25 just for the front, and about $40.00 for the whole head.

A couple of weeks ago, I sat at the Coconuts beach bar and watched a woman getting her hair braided. Everyone had a wonderful time. Ask the bartender there, she can tell you who will do it.

Braids=ABBY WILLIAMS

She is native and you can ask that she be contacted thru your resort or bartender. She is beautiful lady with great family who will come to your resort and there looks to be nothing better than to sitting in the sun havingyour hair braided. My wife had a complete "do" for $30 US.

Enjoy. Don't get it done before you get there...Braiding is just another of the wonderful experiences of AC and you interact with the natives.

Tell Abby Miss Yvonne and Dr. Ray say "Hello."

thanx again for all the info....and you can bet i'll have it done there as opposed to in the states!!!! grazie
