I know my DS will want one of these again. Does anyone remember about how much these are? I know that the beads that you choose will affect the price, but just a guesstimate will do.

Have a nice night.
 
From this past July at TL, it was $1.50 per inch plus beads. Some beads are $3.00 a piece.

My 4yo DD did it and she is a bitty thing with long hair, it cost $26.00! ... and we only got the basic beads. I would let her do it again. She loved it.

Remember that when the hair is wrapped it hangs down longer(pulls wavy hair straight). DD's wrap was done from hair underneath behind her ear. She kept it in for 3+weeks and then I cut it out. We can use a clip and put in back in.

Have fun.
 
I have the same recollection as momxx5 - $1.50/inch plus the beads. Both of my DDs hair wraps were about $20-$25 for about 8 inches of hair.
 
DD had her hair wrapped in August at CBR. It was $23.00 total (5 beads on the bottom). Good thing is, it is still in pretty good shape (we were told it would last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months).
 

where do you get these done? sounds like somehing I might want to do-just for fun...
 
My DD got her hair wraps done at Typhoon Lagoon. I have heard that they also have it a several of the resort pool areas and at DTD.
 
Here's what I did for my daughter's to make it less expensive.

We did the hair behind her ear. Told the person wrapping it that we were planning on cutting her hair when we got home (true) and after she pulled the hair she was going to use, I cut a couple of inches off of it. She wrapped it, DD had chosen one Fancy bead and the separators for the end, so we didn't spend a lot on that part. The total was $15 (and she had hair down to her shoulder).

I wouldn't suggest cutting the hair wrap out after it's time is up. Just take small fingernail scissors to cut the knots and take the time to upwrap it. It took me about 20 minutes to unwrap, but she didn't end up with a few short hairs on her headl; one of her best friends got one done at the top of her head and her mom cut it off...she had a bunch of hairs sticking up for a long time! If I had known they would do that, I would have unwrapped her's too.
 
I was just curious as I too, think this hairwrapping thing sounds like fun. I thought about having it done with my 14 year old niece when we visit WDW next summer. I was just worried I may be to old for such a thing. (44 years young! :earsgirl: )
Plus does a person necessarily have to cut it out after a certain period of time?

:bounce: After watching a hair wrapper, and being pretty crafty, I decided to try it on my daughter myself, I did and it worked, I did 5 hair wraps for her from 5" to 18" all with beads and here is how: go to Walmarts, but the colors of embrodiery floss you like (at .24 cents each, one of each color will be more than enough), and the beads that you like ( a bag of beads, larger ones cost anywhere from 1.69 to 2.99 each , depending on the beads, we used one bag at 1.99 and had beads left over), and bobby pins. Select a small section of hair, thick enough in diameter, about the thickness of 3/4 the width of a crayon, cut 8 or 9 strands of floss about 6 feet in length, colors that you have chosen, fold them in half, knot the middle around the end of the bobby pin, secure this to the base of the hair and tye 2 macrome type knots with each of 2 of the colors to anchor the strands of floss to the hair section. Then the fun begins:sunny: Wind each color around the whole thing, hair in the middle, floss around it, it looks like you are wrapping the floss around a tuble of air and floss. After the desired length of color, pull on the wrapping threaad to tighten he wrapped part and tye another 2 macrome knots with the color you have juust used. Continue to the desired length, it can even be longer than your childs hair as when you run out of hair, the middle filler is created by the extra floss you have knotted on in the beginning. At the end, thread on the desired beads in desired combinations, knot them, and cut the ends leaving 1" for decoration.

As I said, I did 5 for my daughter, they looked just like the disney ones, and I saved over $100, and they are still in 2 weeks later. If you can't do this yoursef, come and visit me in upstate New York , and for a few disney dollars I'll be glad to do it for you at 1/20 the cost !!
:hyper: :teeth: :)
 
I did DD's before we left and it looked pretty good. I got a book on Ebay that came with the floss and some beads, it is called Hair Wraps by Klutz......saved a lot since DD's hair is halfway down her back. She choose Mickey colors...red, black and white. I used nail scissors to cut the last one she had out.
 
My DD (age 6) had this done at WL in July. Her wrap is still in and in and in great shape. She washes her hair daily and it just stays put. It was $33 and she has one fancy bead and then just spacers. We go back to Disney in December and we joke about her wrap still being in - :rolleyes:

I never let DD have one done. How long does it take (roughly)?
 
I paid a little over $90 for 3 girls to have their hair wrapped. We had it done at AKL (the most awesome hotel BTW) down by the swimming pool. It took around 20-25 min each. But it didnt seem that long as the other girls swam while one was getting it done. 2 of my girls hair wraps lasted over 2 months. They got to go back to school with them and got plenty of compliments. The other "girl" is a tomboy and wanted it out soon after we returned. The guy did a good job but it looked pertty easy to do and next time I think we will try it before we go.
 
My DD (10) also had it done at Typhoon Lagoon....$27 US (this is about $40 CDN) but it was woth it...it stayed in for 3 months and just slid out while washing her hair one day.We'll do it again this year!!!It took about 25 minutes but the girl who did it was great...she asked tons of questions about Canada too.It was fun...and the time flew by!!!!I took lot's of questions too...for posterity of course!!!!:moped: :moped:
