Love the way you look and feel with braids, cornrows, locs and hair extensions styled around you. Visit Connie at Kayisi Hair in Bracken Ridge, Brisbane, and talk through the transformation you have in mind.
All hair types welcome.
Love the way you look and feel with braids, cornrows, locs and hair extensions, styled just for you by Connie in Bracken Ridge, Brisbane.
Whether you love neat, classic braids or want to try something bold, explore hairstyles that suit your taste, hair and everyday life. Connie will help you talk through the options before you choose.
From clean everyday lines to bold patterns, explore cornrows that feel uniquely yours.
Make the look your own
Love a hairstyle that looks neat but still shows your personality? Cornrows can be simple and understated or shaped into striking patterns. Choose straight, curved or creative parting to suit the look you have in mind. If you’re exploring cornrows in Brisbane, Connie can help you talk through your ideas.
Imagine wearing it
Think about the details that matter in your everyday life. Do you prefer a clean, classic finish or something that stands out? A photo can help show the pattern and size you like, while a conversation helps Connie understand the result you’re hoping for.
Plan with confidence
Ask what hair preparation your chosen style needs. Let Connie know if you have a sensitive scalp or concerns about tension so you can discuss suitable options before braiding begins.
Starting fresh or refreshing established locs? Talk through your goals and find your next step with Connie.
Your locs, your story
Whether you’re dreaming of your first locs or want your established dreadlocks to look refreshed, the goal is a style that feels right for you. Every set of locs is different, and the next step depends on your hair and the look you want.
Feel good about your next step
Tell Connie what you love about your locs and what you’d like to change. Maybe it’s tidying new growth, exploring a different finish or understanding the options for starting out. Bring a photo if that helps you explain the look.
Care that starts with a conversation
For dreadlocks and loc maintenance in Brisbane, Connie can discuss your current hair, suitable options and what you may need to do before an appointment. You can also ask how to care for your locs between visits, without assuming one routine fits everyone.
Explore extra length, volume and a new finish with sew-in weave extensions suited to your goals.
Imagine more styling possibilities
Want the appearance of longer or fuller hair, or simply feel like trying something different? Sew-in weave extensions offer one way to change your look. Hair is sewn into a prepared braided base, with the final effect depending on your hair and the extensions chosen.
Find the finish you love
Think about how you’d like your hair to look and move. Are you after extra length, added fullness or a style for a special occasion? Bring inspiration photos so Connie can understand your preferred texture, shape and overall finish.
Choose with care
Before arranging sew-in weave extensions in Brisbane, ask about suitability for your natural hair and scalp, what hair to bring or purchase, and how to look after your chosen style. Connie can discuss whether a consultation is the best next step.
Go classic, colourful or bold with box braids in a length and size that suits your look.
Make a statement your way
Box braids give you plenty of room to express your style. From timeless, understated braids to a bolder colour or length, small choices can create a very different finished look. They are individual braids, usually arranged in neat sections.
Picture your new look
Would you feel more like yourself in long flowing braids, a shorter style or something colourful? Bring a few photos and think about braid size, length and finish. Connie can help you talk through the result you’re hoping to achieve.
Know what to ask
If you’re considering box braids in Brisbane, check what hair you’ll need, how to prepare and what care may involve afterwards. Mention any scalp sensitivity before choosing a style so your options can be discussed.
Enjoy a relaxed, flowing look with braids and loose pieces styled to match your inspiration.
Love a softer, flowing finish
Boho braids mix braided sections with loose pieces for a relaxed look with texture and movement. You can keep the effect subtle or choose something with more volume, depending on the style and hair selected.
Find your version of Boho
Imagine how you want the loose pieces to frame your look. Would you prefer soft movement, more defined curls or a fuller finish? Inspiration photos help Connie understand your favourite balance of braids and flowing hair.
Make an informed choice
Because loose pieces are part of the style, upkeep can differ from fully braided hair. Ask which hair is needed, how to prepare and what daily care may involve before booking. Connie welcomes questions from people across Brisbane who want to explore Boho braids.
Explore twists and crochet braids for different shapes, textures and styling possibilities.
Find a texture that feels like you
Love the idea of more texture or a different shape? Twists and crochet braids offer distinct ways to create a new look. Twists wrap sections of hair together, while crochet styles generally attach hair through a prepared braided base.
Imagine the result
Think about the length, fullness and texture you’d feel happiest wearing. From a defined finish to something softer and fuller, the choice of hair and styling method makes a difference. Showing Connie a few favourite photos can help you explore the options.
Talk it through first
If you’re looking into twists or crochet braids in Brisbane, ask about the method that may suit your hair, what hair to bring and any preparation needed. Connie can help you work towards a suitable appointment without promising the same result for everyone.
Share the look you’re imagining and when you’d like it done. Connie will help you take the next step.
Whether you want an easier everyday style, fuller-looking hair or a whole new look, Connie helps you explore what feels right for you.
You’re not a one-size-fits-all customer. Connie listens to your ideas and helps you explore braids, locs or extensions that suit your hair, personal style and everyday routine.
If thinning hair has changed how you feel about your appearance, talk to Connie about styles that create the look of more fullness. Enjoy the chance to see yourself in a fresh light.
Struggling to know what to do with your hair? Whether you want cornrows, braids or help with your locs, Connie can discuss styling and upkeep that work with your routine.

Connie loves the moment someone looks in the mirror and sees a hairstyle that makes them smile. For her, great hair is about the person wearing it, not simply the finished style.

Although I haven’t had my hair done here yet, I’ve dealt with the owner regarding hair extensions and hair products, and every experience has been smooth. She is professional, passionate about hair care, quick to respond, and always willing to answer my questions. Communication is clear, and she’s a pleasure to collaborate with.Posted on Google![]()

Kayisi Hair offers six main service groups: cornrows, dreadlocks and loc maintenance, sew-in weave extensions, box braids, Boho braids, and twists and crochet braids.
For a neat, close-to-the-scalp look, explore cornrows. For individual braids with different lengths and sizes, look at box braids. Boho braids combine braids with loose flowing pieces, while twists and crochet styles offer other textures and finishes. Loc services cover starting or refreshing dreadlocks, and sew-ins can create the appearance of additional length or fullness.
Visit the Lookbook to see examples of Connie’s work.
Cornrows, box braids and Boho braids can generally be arranged through a service enquiry without booking a separate consultation first.
Dreadlocks, extensions and more complex transformations may need an additional discussion before an appointment can be confirmed. Start by telling Connie which service you want, rather than requesting general styling advice.
Yes. Kayisi Hair requires a 10% deposit for services. The amount depends on the price of the hairstyle you arrange.
Connie can confirm the deposit and payment instructions when your appointment is being organised. Your enquiry alone does not mean an appointment has been booked.
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel an appointment. Contact Kayisi Hair directly as soon as you know your plans have changed.
For service concerns and refund conditions, read the full Refund Policy. If you have paid a deposit, confirm how it applies to your particular booking when arranging your appointment.
Yes, cornrows and other braids can be created using natural hair, depending on its length, texture, condition and the look you choose. Added braiding hair is not automatically required for every style.
Cornrows sit close to the scalp and can be formed in straight rows or creative patterns. Individual braids give a different finish, and adding hair may change the length or fullness of some styles.
If you’re interested in a particular look, choose an example from our Lookbook and enquire about that service.
Some hairstyles and extension methods can create the appearance of fuller or thicker hair. For example, the amount, placement and texture of added hair can change how a finished style looks.
The right choice depends on your existing hair and scalp. Extra weight or tight tension may not suit fragile or thinning areas, so a fuller look should never come at the expense of scalp comfort.
Connie enjoys helping customers explore a fresh appearance and renewed confidence. Hair styling does not treat the cause of hair loss or promise regrowth.
Cornrows are braids formed close to the scalp. The hair is worked into rows or patterns, making the parting and braid direction an important part of the finished look.
Twists are made by wrapping sections of hair around each other. They can produce a different texture and shape, and some styles use added hair.
If you like visible scalp patterns and clean lines, cornrows may appeal to you. If you prefer a twisted texture or a different silhouette, explore twist styles. Both can be customised in size and overall appearance.
That depends on the service and the style you choose. Some braids, twists and sew-in weaves use added hair, while other styles may be created with your natural hair.
Hair type, colour, length and quantity matter. Bringing the wrong extensions can affect the result or delay an appointment, so confirm exactly what to bring or purchase when arranging your service. Do not assume all extension hair works for every technique.
Preparation depends on your hairstyle and your hair’s condition. Some services may call for clean, dry and detangled hair, while others have different requirements.
When arranging your appointment, confirm whether to wash, dry or detangle your hair beforehand and whether you need to bring any extension hair. Let Connie know about scalp sensitivity or anything that could affect comfortable styling.
Checking these details before your appointment helps your service get off to a smooth start.
There is no single wear time that suits every person or hairstyle. How long braids or cornrows look neat can depend on the size of the style, hair growth, your hair texture, daily activities and care. Established locs have different maintenance needs from newly started ones.
To help your style look its best, follow the recommended aftercare, keep your scalp comfortable and avoid excess pulling. Do not leave a style in simply to make it last longer if it causes discomfort, matting or tension.
Connie can explain the aftercare suited to the service you’ve received.
Yes. Keeping your scalp clean remains important when wearing braids or locs. The best washing method and frequency depend on the style, your hair and how easily it dries.
Work gently around braided sections rather than rubbing or pulling them. Dry your scalp and hair thoroughly afterwards, especially with thicker or longer locs, where retained moisture can be an issue.
Follow the care instructions for your specific hairstyle, as methods that suit established locs may not suit new braids or starter locs.
Yes. Too much tension can irritate the scalp and contribute to hair breakage or traction-related hair loss. A new hairstyle should not cause persistent pain, bumps or strong pulling around the hairline.
Let Connie know before styling if your scalp is sensitive or your hair is thinning, particularly around the edges. If a finished style feels painfully tight, raise it promptly rather than waiting for the discomfort to settle.
Comfort and the condition of your natural hair matter as much as the finished look.
Connie wants customers to be happy with their hairstyle. If you have a concern about the service, raise it before leaving the salon or as soon as possible afterwards, so there is an opportunity to understand the problem and discuss a fair solution.
