Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Anya Braids been doing party hair braiding in Los Angeles? Anya Braids has been bringing the braid bar experience to LA-area events since 2017, making us one of the original mobile braiding services in Southern California. With nearly a decade of kids' parties, private events, and themed celebrations, we bring experience and creativity that's hard to match.

What is a braid bar for parties? A braid bar is a mobile hair braiding station that comes to your event. A professional braider sets up at your venue and styles each guest — it's a fun, interactive activity that doubles as a party favor.

What services are included in a kids' party braiding package? Our packages include trendy styles like Dutch braids, French braids, Fishtails, bubble ponytails, hair tinsel, plus customizable add-ons like vibrant hair extensions, glitter, ribbons, themed accessories.

What themed hair braiding styles do you offer? Themed braiding is one of our specialties! Popular themes include:

  • Princess themes — Elsa, Rapunzel, Moana, Aurora, and more

  • Fairy & Enchanted Garden — glitter, butterfly accessories, and florals woven into braids, with optional colorful extensions

  • Star Wars — Leia buns, Padmé styles, and Jedi-inspired looks

  • K-pop — bold colors, sleek styles, and character-inspired braids

  • Mermaid & Ocean — flowing colored extensions in aqua, purple, and teal

  • Unicorn & Fantasy — colorful, whimsical braids with glitter and charms

  • Taylor Swift & Eras Tour — glittery styles and era-inspired looks

How many kids can you braid per hour? We can style approximately 5–6 children per hour depending on style complexity. For larger events, we offer packages with multiple braiders so every guest gets a turn.

Do you travel to events across LA and Orange County? Yes! Anya Braid Bar is fully mobile. We bring our professional braiding station — including chairs and mirrors — to your home or event space anywhere in Los Angeles County (including Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, La Canada and the San Fernando Valley) and Orange County (including Anaheim, Irvine, and Newport Beach).

Do you serve adult events too? Yes! We serve bridal showers, baby showers, girls' nights, and corporate events in addition to kids' parties.

How far in advance should I book? While we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, we recommend booking at least 2 months in advance — especially for weekend dates. Our calendar fills up fast. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you'll have in choosing your preferred date and time.

What does your braid bar setup look like? Every package includes our standard setup with Bamboo mirrors and containers — a clean, natural look that fits most party aesthetics. Want something more elevated? You can upgrade to our deluxe setup featuring white containers and your choice of black or pink Hollywood mirrors, or asymmetrical mirror and pink stools for an added fee. If you have your own event rentals or a themed setup you'd like us to use, we're happy to work with that too!

We use individual combs and brushes for each guest to ensure a clean, hygienic experience.

We also use a waitlist system so kids never have to stand in line — they can keep enjoying the party and we'll call them when it's their turn.

Do you offer any other party services besides hair braiding? Yes! In addition to our braid bar, we offer glitter and glam temporary tattoos and face painting — all booked through us for a seamless party planning experience. Bundle multiple services together to create a full entertainment station at your event. Ask us about availability when you request your quote!

Can I order K-pop inspired braids online? Yes! Can't make it to one of our LA events? We ship Rumi's Premade Braid anywhere in the US. Rumi is a character from our original K-pop Demon Hunters series, and her signature purple braid is available for $45 in our online shop. Easy DIY application — no braider required!
