Ksenia is such a lovely soul! I had so much fun chatting away with her during my appointment. My braids turned out amazing and everyone commented on them at Blazing Swan (& how good they looked compared to others!) I'll definitely be back next time I'm looking to get my hair done.
I recently just had my hair cornrowed at Braids & Waves. Despite my hair being a little short, Ksenia continued to show her talent resulting in her doing an amazing job. For those that are looking for a hair stylist that is friendly, talented and reasonably priced! Braids and Waves is a must!
Ksenia's braids are so perfect and amazing! I got so many compliments at the wedding I wore them to. I very highly recommend her work, I'd love to return again for something similar. Or completely different! I am still astounded at how perfect the braids ended up, particularly the super fine tips at the end. Absolutely magical!
Ksenia was amazing from the get go. We were able to show her a picture of what we wanted and she delivered. She responded quickly to my msgs and her prices are reasonable for her amazing skills. She has so much talent! We look forward to booking through her again 😊
Ksenia is extremely talented at braiding as well as being such a lovely, beautiful person. In the first time I didn’t have proper idea about box braids she did amazing job, I really love it, after i did again in my braids with her in different braids style looked amazing! Would highly recommend her.
LOVE the braids 😍♥️ the whole experience was amazing, Ksenia is incredibly talented, and is very passionate about braiding…but not only that, she’s very friendly and one of the loveliest person I’ve met, I will be back for sure, and will recommend to everyone I know 🤗 10/10 recommend!
I cannot express how much I am absolutely in love with my braids! I had a very large area of my head shaved on the sides and back and was really struggling with the growing out phase. Ksenia was so talented and managed to turn my misery into my favourite feature 💛💛
Wife and daughter went to Ksenia and got 2 boxer braids with extensions each my daughter loves them “too much “ she was amazing and both felt comfortable and had an amazing mum and daughter experience
Ksenia did my braids on the weekend for my Muay Thai fight, followed by some Dutch braids with extensions for my daughter. Not only is Ksenia a lovely person to be around, she did a great job of both of our braids. I will definitely use her again in the future.
She was soo professional my daughter is only 5 and can get very restless but she had soo much patience and did an amazing job could not be happier
Amazing braids, very relaxing experience with great service. Would recommend.

I couldn’t be happier with my braids! This is my second time getting braided by Ksenia, and once again you’ve absolutely exceeded my expectations. You’re incredibly talented, and the attention to detail you put into your work really shows. Not only is the end result amazing, but you also make the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable. You’re very passionate about what you do, and it reflects in the quality of your work. Thank you so much for making me feel confident and leaving me with braids that I absolutely love. I can’t recommend you highly enough, and I’ll definitely be back again!

I am so appreciative of your weekend will definitely be back... I walked out of Braids & Waves this morning just beaming yo start my day & my work week.

My braids! Electric purple bubble braids!! 🦄 🌸 🌟 They were an absolute hit for the 3 day dance music festival and I recieved so many compliments. I woke up colourful each morning ready to dance and feeling fab. Ksenia is a gem 💎 She made sure I was comfortable the whole time and we had great chats. The braids were done perfectly, she is a magician. They were not pulling or too tight and they turned out better than I could of ever expected. Thank you so much and I can not wait for another festival to do it all over again x 💝
Best braids in town. Worth the drive to get your braids done living far away from Perth. Such a professional service and attention to detail.

The best experience! She is very professional and her work is amazing!!! We started off with one look that I had booked in for, but she catered to my hair's needs and we decided to go down another path....which turned out sooo good!! One very very happy customer😊 thank you soo much!
What a wonderful experience today! My 6 year old son has had some braids before and didn’t have the best experience so it was important for me to find someone who had patience, kindness and above all expertise. Ksenia was an absolute delight, she was very warm and welcoming, her private space was colourful, trendy and welcoming. She has the hands of an absolute saint, she is incredibly creative and my son didn’t shed a tear! He had the best time there. We will definitely be back again soon! Thank you so much, highly recommend!
Ksenia was amazing. My first braids. I love them. Talked me trough it, help me me make the right decision for my hair. Short, above shoulder. Came out better than expected. Will be going back.

I would give Ksenia a 10🎖 rating if it was possible: warm, friendly,kind, and super talented.. This was my 2nd visit to her.. I am new to all this. She answered all my stupid questions and helped me to feel completely at ease, cannot recommend her enough ❤️
I can’t thank enough to Ksenia. She is an amazing artist and she makes magic with her hands. I was shocked and couldn’t stop smiling when I saw my hair done. Wearing her work proudly and getting compliments everywhere I go. Don’t hesitate to book with her .

She talked all my options through and really listened to what I wanted. She was so gentle during the braiding, extremely talented and had great attention to detail. She was super easy to talk to, my wife and I had so much fun for the 3 hours we were there. The result was absolutely amazing I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I’m officially hooked and can’t wait for the next one!!

My daughter has been twice and she has long, thick hair.

I recently visited Braid and Waves for cornrows, and I must say, I am beyond impressed with the results! The cornrows are simply amazing - not too tight, yet firm and very tidy and crisp. The stylist paid great attention to detail, ensuring each braid was perfect. The atmosphere in the salon was welcoming and professional, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Braid and Waves to anyone looking for top-notch braiding services. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

Had an awesome experience here! A friend cancelled due to covid last minute and Ksenia was so accommodating, she was able to fit me in last minute and saved the day so my hair wasn’t a crazy mess while I was a groomsman at one of my best mates’ wedding! Absolute legend of a person and most importantly for the review; a talented perfectionist in her craft too, highly recommended!

Ksenia did my hair for a photoshoot on a very early Sunday morning in December and did an amazing job. I showed her some inspiration pictures and the hairstyle came out well. Ksenia is a very talented stylist and I am excited to try other styles with her in the future. She was very easy to work with and organised. It’s clear that she puts a lot of thought and care into her business. She is very prompt in responding, provides a good consultation prior to booking and has a very smooth/ streamlined booking process.
Ksenia did box braids on me and I was so happy . She is so professional with a good communication skills. I got alot of compliments and everywhere I go people noticed . Thank you Ksenia for the wonderful job 😘 it is much more than what I expected and I really love the result . You are a blessing ... Would definitely do it again soon ☺️

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do braids last?
The longevity of your braids will depend on many factors. Some of my clients wear braids for a couple of days and others wear them for months.
Factors that affect how long you can keep your braids include - the style of braids, your hair type, hair length, haircut, your lifestyle and even how active you are in your sleep.
You can keep your braids longer if you look after them. Simple things like wearing a durag or using silk pillowcases will help you keep your braids longer. You can read more about how to look after your braids in this article - Wear Your Braids for Longer.
