Anywhere at WDW to get child's hair braided?

[kbkids]

We're going on a Disney cruise but will be in the parks a couple of days before. My DD would like to get her hair braided, and they do it on the ship, but I hate to spend any cruise time getting it done - we're only doing a 3 night cruise. On the other hand, we're being very laid back and not a whole lot planned during the resort portion of the trip. I would love to find somewhere Tuesday afternoon to get this done on-site somewhere, as that's the day that we really have nothing planned - just hanging out by the pool, etc. Then she's already got it braided by the time we get on the cruise.

They do hair braiding at all of the Disney Resorts. I think they also do it in DTD.

Is it at the salons? Or do they have stations at the resorts that I just haven't noticed before? I remember seeing a station at the Boardwalk once, but no one was there.

Just wanted to add that there are 2 options - hairwrapping and hair braiding.

The resort salons offer braiding - which is many small braids from the crown of the head (kind of like Bo Derek in the movie 10 if you're old enough to remember that!!)

Hair wraps are when colored thread and sometimes beads is wrapped around a thin strand of hair. There are hairwrap stations on the Boardwalk, in DTD, in AK and at several resort pool areas (I know of SAB at the YC/BC and also at the Poly)

Just a warning in case you don't know (I didn't). The hair braiding process is very painful. My DD7 and the older girls having it done on the ship were all crying (and the braiders weren't exactly sympathetic). Her head was sore for days. If you warn your DD she can choose which one she wants, the braiding or the wrap. She might want to watch others having it done to see if she wants to go ahead. My DD says from now on she'll stick with the hair wrap.
