Cornrows & Feed-Insin Spanaway, WA

Three ways to wear them

Straight-back, feed-in or designed

Straight-back cornrows run from your hairline to the nape in neat, even rows. They're quick, classic and great under a wig or for the gym.

Feed-in braids start small at the hairline and get fuller as Simone feeds extension hair in. You get a natural-looking start with no bulky knot, and the braids can end in a ponytail, a bun or hang long.

Designer cornrows curve, zig-zag or swirl into patterns. Bring a photo or let Simone freestyle. Add color like burgundy or purple and they really stand out.

  • Work out or swim a lot and need hair that stays put.
  • Wear wigs or sew-ins and need a flat, tidy base.
  • Are a guy who wants braids that stay sharp between cuts.

Questions people ask

Cornrows FAQ

How long do cornrows last?

Two to four weeks for most people. Feed-ins with extension hair usually last closer to four weeks. Straight-backs with just your own hair may need redoing sooner, especially if you work out a lot.

How much are cornrows in Spanaway?

At Simone's, straight-back cornrows start at $90, men's cornrows at $70 and feed-ins at $110. Designs and extra length add a little. Text a photo for an exact price.

What's the difference between cornrows and feed-in braids?

Regular cornrows are often braided with your own hair or added at the start. Feed-ins add extension hair gradually, so each row starts thin and natural at the hairline and gets fuller as it goes.

Can I walk in for cornrows?

Yes. Cornrows are the easiest style to fit in as a walk-in, Monday to Saturday from 9am to 7pm.

Do cornrows hurt?

They shouldn't. A little snugness the first day is normal, but real pain, a headache or bumps along the hairline mean they're too tight. Tell Simone during the appointment and she'll ease up.

Do you braid men's hair?

Yes. Simone does men's cornrows, two-strand twists and box braids.

Make them last

Aftercare at home

  • Wear a durag or satin scarf at night to keep the rows flat and neat.
  • Oil between the rows lightly, two or three times a week.
  • Use a little edge control only if you want, and wipe off buildup.
  • Rinse after sweating and let your scalp dry fully.
  • Take them down gently and wash and condition before the next style.
