Square payment fee increase ❗️

Come Jan 13th 2026 square will be increasing their online and processing fees. I am not sure buy how much yet but when I find out I will create another post. If you pay with card through square with me these fees will be added onto your total. This past year I did occasionally wave these fees cause I understand money is tight and things only keep getting more expensive. By doing so I lost 23% of my revenue. Thats almost 3k in just fees alone out of my own pocket. I will not be able to afford to eat the cost of these fees next year.

I highly suggest using these following payment methods so both you and me can have more money in our pockets.

ZELLE/VENMO/CASHAPP OR CASH is best!

I am changing the brand of rubber bands I use for BRAID IN locs. Unfortunately the quality of the ones I use have been subpar and breaking on my client more often than not.

I am will now be using Wild Bandz from Wildcrafted beauty! A lot of my clients have brought them to me and I am very impressed with the quality. With better quality comes with a higher price tag for the bands out of my pocket. I will be reflecting the price difference in the service price. On top of the price of the service depending on how many locs you have it will be an additional $0.08 cents per elastic.

If you bring your own bands I will not be charging any additional costs.

I hope everyone understands. I want your locs to last AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!!

✨️I WILL ALSO BE OFFERING DISCOUNTS FOR THOSE WHOS ELASTICS HAVE NOT LASTED AT LEAST 3 WEEKS OF WEAR WITH THE CURRENT BRAND OF RUBBER BANDS I USE✨️
