What port is best for hair braiding. Do they do it on the beach. In St. Thomas is there a place at the Havensight Mall , how about Barbados or Martinique.

We have been to both Nassau and Cozumel. The braiding was definately better in Cozumel and WAY cheaper. I found the people in Cozumel MUCH friendlier than those in NAssau. In Nassau they have a hairbraiding center right at the end of the pier.
In Cozumel Meg had her hair done in town. They also had very pretty glass bead flowers that they put in. She had her whole head done half way back with glass beads for $8US. In Nassau that would have cost 3x as much.


Have a great trip!!!!

Lisa,
We were there in Nov 2002. We were just walking through town shopping and the young girls would approach us. If you start to walk away they will come down in price although I don't believe they started out that high. Megs braids lasted the week cruise plus over a week when we returned home. I wish I could remember the exact street we were on. Almost all the girls on the ship had it done but Iam not sure what others paid. Hope this helps and have a great trip!!

If it's that cheap I will try to have my 10 year old's hair done. She had it done in the Bahamas a few years ago; cost a lot more if I remember correctly. It stays for a couple of weeks, but the hair tends to break off when you undo it. We are swimming with the dolphins there and spending some time at Chankanaab, so don't know exactly if we will run into braiders. lisa

Lisa,
I don't know how long you will be in port. We also did the park in the am. I t was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Then quickly back to the ship got changed and ran off to town for alittle shopping. It is so easy to get around by taxi. Meaghan was 10 at the time it took no time at all for them to braid her hair.I did not see any braiders at the park. The dolphin swim should be great!!! we did not do that but the people who were looked like they were having a blast!! Hope you have a great trip.
