02 — How it works

From a message to a proper sit-down

Nothing on this site books you in automatically. Requests come to a person, and a person replies.

  1. Step one

    You send a request

    Use the request form, call 0783 909 393, or email bookings@aliciaflair.com. Tell us the treatment, your preferred day and roughly what time.

  2. Step two

    We check the diary

    We come back to you with what’s actually open, how long it takes and what it costs. If your first choice is full, we’ll offer another.

  3. Step three

    You come in

    Bring a reference photo, your own hair oil if you have a favourite, and a little patience for Nairobi traffic on Kamiti Road.

03 — The studio

A parlour, not a production line

Alicia Flair sits on Kamiti Road in Nairobi and has built a 4.2 rating from 17 Google reviews — not perfect, but earned by people who keep coming back.

We’re honest about what we publish: the full treatment menu, prices and opening hours aren’t listed on this site yet. What we can do is answer a direct question quickly, so ask before you travel.

Before you come in

Practical prep in five minutes

Short, plain-language notes on getting ready for braids, gel polish, a facial or a wax — so the appointment runs the way it should.

Still deciding

Questions we get asked most

Where we are, how to book, what to do if you’re not sure what to ask for, and what we can’t confirm online.

Give us a day and a rough time. We’ll do the rest of the sorting.

Services

What we take enquiries for

Six areas of work, from a quick polish change to a full afternoon. Send an enquiry for the one you need and we’ll reply with availability, timing and price.

Please read before you book: Alicia Flair does not publish a fixed price list or a complete treatment menu online, and this page is not one. The areas and treatments below are the kinds of work we take enquiries for. Exact availability, duration and cost are confirmed by phone or email before you commit to anything.

01

Hair

  • Braiding and protective styles
  • Wash, condition and blow-dry
  • Styling for events, church and photos
  • Trims and shaping — ask first
  • Colour enquiries
  • Scalp and hair treatment requests

Braiding takes time. If you have a long day ahead, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can quote a realistic sitting window.

02

Nails

  • Manicure and pedicure
  • Gel polish and colour
  • Nail art on request
  • Repairs and reshaping
  • Safe removal of gel or extensions

If you’re coming in with product already on your nails, mention it — removal adds time to the appointment.

03

Skin & facials

  • Cleansing and exfoliating facials
  • Masks and face and neck massage
  • Basic skin consultations
  • Back and shoulder treatments

Tell us about sensitive skin, active breakouts, pregnancy or anything you’re using on your face. We’ll say honestly if a treatment isn’t right for you.

04

Waxing & grooming

  • Eyebrow shaping
  • Upper lip and face waxing
  • Underarm waxing
  • Half and full leg waxing

Waxing works best with a few weeks of growth. If you’re unsure about timing, ask us before you book a slot.

05

Massage & spa

  • Back, neck and shoulder massage
  • Full body massage enquiries
  • Relaxation and quiet-time sessions
  • Couples and pairs — ask about availability

Pressure is personal. Say what you like at the start and we’ll adjust — you don’t have to sit through something uncomfortable.

06

Bridal & groups

  • Bridal hair and beauty enquiries
  • Bridesmaids and family groups
  • Trial sittings
  • Birthday and celebration groups

Group bookings need notice and a headcount. Send the date and the number of people, and we’ll tell you what we can realistically fit.

Something not on this list?

Ask anyway. If it’s not something we do, we’ll say so rather than string you along — and if we know someone who does it well, we’ll tell you.

Signature styles

A gallery of the looks we get asked for

Braids, colour, nails, skin and the quiet corners in between. Use this page as a reference board — then bring the picture that’s closest to what you want.

About these photographs: the images below are illustrative, publicly licensed photographs from Unsplash. They are not photographs of Alicia Flair’s premises, team or clients, and they are not a record of work done in our studio. We’d rather be straight with you than pass off someone else’s pictures as our portfolio.

How to get the closest match

Screenshots are more useful than descriptions. Save two or three references — one for the shape, one for the colour, one for the length — and send them with your request or bring them to the appointment. If something isn’t achievable on your hair or nails in one sitting, we’ll tell you before we start.

A working parlour on Kamiti Road

Not a chain, not a spa hotel. A neighbourhood beauty parlour in Nairobi where people come back for the same pair of hands.

The short version

Alicia Flair Spa and Beauty Parlour is listed as a beauty salon on Kamiti Road, Nairobi. It holds a 4.2 rating from 17 reviews on Google, which is the kind of score that comes from steady, repeat custom rather than a launch-week push.

That’s the verified picture. We’re not going to pad it out with a founding story or a list of qualifications we can’t point you to. If you want to know who will be doing your hair, how long they’ve been doing it, or what products are on the shelf, call and ask — those are fair questions and you deserve a straight answer.

How we work

Four things we hold to

Time is the treatment

Rushing a braid or a gel set never ends well. We quote a realistic sitting window rather than squeezing you into a gap that doesn’t exist.

Say the price out loud

We won’t publish a price list we can’t keep current, but we will tell you the cost before you sit down. No surprises at the counter.

Honest about limits

If your hair needs a rest before colour, or a style won’t hold the way the photo does, we’ll say so at the start rather than after.

Clean tools, clean room

Implements are cleaned between clients and single-use items stay single-use. If you want to see how something is sterilised, ask.

Skincare products arranged neatly on a counter

What we can’t tell you online

We’d rather leave a gap than fill it with something invented. The following are not confirmed on this site, so please ask before you rely on them:

  • Opening hours and public holidays
  • The full treatment menu and current prices
  • Payment methods accepted
  • Parking and wheelchair access
  • The names and qualifications of individual team members

Come for one thing. Stay for the quiet.

Most people arrive for a set of nails and leave with a hair appointment too. That’s fine by us.

Beauty guide

Small things that make a big difference

Practical notes on preparing for and looking after the treatments people ask us about most. Plain language, no lecture.

General guidance only. These notes are written from common salon practice and are not medical advice. They are not specific to the products or equipment used at Alicia Flair, and they don’t replace a conversation with your doctor or your stylist. If you have a skin condition, an allergy or you’re pregnant, ask us before booking.

01 — Hair

Getting ready for braids or a protective style

Braiding is a long sitting, and most of the discomfort people complain about afterwards comes from the day before, not the day itself.

  • Wash and fully dry your hair beforehand. Damp hair under a braid is asking for trouble.
  • Skip heavy oils and leave-in creams on the day — they make the hair slippery and the braid looser.
  • Say something if your scalp is tender or you’ve had a reaction to braiding hair before. It changes how tightly we work.
  • Ask for a realistic sitting window and plan the rest of your day around it, not the other way around.
  • Book the take-down as well. A style you can’t get out is a style you’ll start resenting.
02 — Nails

Making gel polish last the distance

Gel can hold for two to three weeks for most people. What shortens it is rarely the polish — it’s what happens in the days after.

  • Keep a cuticle oil by the sink and use it after washing your hands.
  • Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning. Hot water and detergent soften the gel edge.
  • Don’t pick or peel at a lifted edge. It takes a layer of nail with it.
  • Come back for proper removal rather than soaking it off at home with whatever is under the sink.
  • Give your nails a week or two bare between long stretches of gel, especially if they feel thin.
03 — Skin

The week before a facial

A facial is a treatment, not a reset button. Arriving with skin that’s already irritated just means we spend the appointment calming it down.

  • Don’t start a new strong active — retinol, acids, a new scrub — in the three days before.
  • Skip at-home exfoliation for a couple of days beforehand.
  • Tell us about anything you’re using on your face, including prescription creams.
  • Mention pregnancy, recent waxing or laser work, and any known allergies.
  • Go easy on make-up and sun for the rest of the day afterwards.
04 — Waxing

Timing matters more than anything else

Wax needs something to grip. Turn up with two days of stubble and the result will be patchy, however good the wax is.

  • Let hair grow to roughly a quarter of an inch — usually two to four weeks after shaving.
  • Don’t apply rich lotion or oil on the day of your appointment.
  • Skip sun, saunas and heavy gym sessions for 24 hours afterwards.
  • Book waxing a few days before an event, not the morning of it.
  • If you’re prone to ingrown hairs, ask us about aftercare rather than guessing.
05 — Spa

Getting the most from a massage

An hour goes quickly. A few small choices at the start mean you spend it relaxed rather than adjusting.

  • Eat something light beforehand, not a full meal and not nothing at all.
  • Arrive a little early so you’re not walking in flustered.
  • Say what pressure you like. “Firm” and “gentle” mean different things to different people — describe it.
  • Speak up mid-treatment if something isn’t working. That’s what the appointment is for.
  • Drink water afterwards and give yourself a quiet half hour before rushing back out.
06 — Groups

Bridal and group bookings without the scramble

Groups go wrong when the headcount arrives late. Everything else is manageable.

  • Send the date and the number of people as early as you can, even if the details are still moving.
  • Book a trial for the bride before the big day — not the day before.
  • Give us a running order if some people need to be finished earlier than others.
  • Expect a realistic answer about how many people can be seen at once.

Question about your own situation?

This page can only go so far. If you have a specific concern — a sensitive scalp, a product allergy, nails recovering from extensions — call us on 0783 909 393 and we’ll talk it through before you book.

Questions

Straight answers, including the ones we can’t give

If something isn’t here, it’s because we haven’t confirmed it. Call 0783 909 393 or email bookings@aliciaflair.com and ask directly.

Where exactly are you?
Alicia Flair Spa and Beauty Parlour is on Kamiti Road in Nairobi. The full address, map link and plus code are on the Visit & contact page. If you’re using a map app, the plus code RV6W+9J Nairobi will take you closest.
How do I book an appointment?
Three ways: send a request through the appointments page, call 0783 909 393, or email bookings@aliciaflair.com. The form prepares your request and lets you send it by email — it does not book you in by itself. Nothing is confirmed until we reply with a time.
Do you take walk-ins?
That depends entirely on the day and what’s already in the diary. We can’t promise walk-in availability online, so if you’re travelling to us, call first and we’ll tell you honestly whether there’s room.
What are your opening hours?
We haven’t published verified opening hours, so we’re not going to guess at them here. Please call 0783 909 393 before you travel — especially on public holidays.
How much do treatments cost?
There’s no published price list on this site. Prices depend on the treatment, the length of your hair or the amount of work involved, so the honest answer is: ask us. When you enquire we’ll tell you the cost before you commit, and we won’t change it after you’ve sat down.
What payment methods do you accept?
This isn’t confirmed in the information we hold, so please ask when you call. We’d rather you arrive knowing than find out at the counter.
Can I bring a friend or book for a group?
Group and bridal enquiries are welcome — see the services page. Send the date and the number of people as early as possible. We’ll tell you what we can realistically fit rather than over-promising.
Is there parking, and is the space accessible?
Parking and step-free access haven’t been confirmed for this site, so please call ahead and ask. If you need specific access arrangements, tell us before you come and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
How is the salon rated?
Alicia Flair currently holds a 4.2 rating from 17 Google reviews. You can read them, and add your own, on the Google Maps listing.
Where can I see your work?
Our Facebook page is the public profile we keep. The styles page on this site is a reference gallery of illustrative photography — it is not a portfolio of our own work, and we say so clearly there.
What if I need to change or cancel?
Call 0783 909 393 or email bookings@aliciaflair.com as soon as you know. There’s no cancellation policy published here — ask us when you book so you know where you stand.

Still stuck?

Ask us the awkward question. We’d rather answer it before you book than have you find out afterwards.
