About
20 years of braiding, one chair at a time
Prairie Braid Ups started with one braider and a bag of combs. Two decades later, clients still book for the same reasons: clean parts, braids that hold, and designs nobody else is doing.
- Custom patterns: hearts, webs, zig-zags, freestyle stitch
- Gentle on edges, with tension that stays comfortable
- Pre-stretched hair, cuffs and wraps brought to you
- All tools sanitized between every client

FAQ
Good to know
Do you come to my house?
Yes, that's the whole service. We braid at homes, hotels, venues, studios and sets across Winnipeg. All you need is a chair near an outlet.
How does the travel charge work?
Travel is free within 20 km of downtown Winnipeg. Past 20 km it's $1 per km one way. You'll see the exact amount in your booking summary.
What do I need to have ready?
A chair with a back, an outlet nearby and some decent light. Your hair should be washed, dry and detangled unless you've booked a wash. Pets in another room help too.
Do you braid at hotels, Airbnbs and venues?
Yes. Wedding suites, hotel rooms, Airbnbs, halls, studios and video sets are all fine. For venues, add the room or contact name in your entry notes.
Do you take early morning or late appointments?
Yes. Early calls from 6 AM are available for weddings and shoots. Long styles can also start in the evening and finish the next morning.
Is braiding hair included?
Yes, pre-stretched braiding hair in standard colours is included. Special colours, human hair or extra-long lengths may cost more, and you're welcome to supply your own.
How should my hair be when you arrive?
Washed, fully dry and detangled. If you'd like us to wash and blow-dry, add it in your design notes. It adds about 45 minutes.
What's your deposit and cancellation policy?
A $30 deposit holds your date and goes toward your total. Reschedule or cancel at least 48 hours before your appointment to keep your deposit.
Can you do a design from a photo?
Yes. Send the photo after you book and we'll talk through parts, size and timing. Custom designs start at $40 on top of the base style.
