Hi all, <BR> <BR>I loved having my hair braided in the Bahamas last summer, because it was fun/different and so convenient for our several days of diving. <BR> <BR>I'm headed to the Virgin Islands this fall, and I'm wondering if hair braiding is as popular and available in either St. Thomas or on Tortola? <BR> <BR>Thank!

It is available in St Thomas. You can find them in Vendor's Plaza as well as at some beaches. <BR>The local government is trying to regulate them at the present time. They will be located indoors in a salon.

My son's girlfriend had her full head of thick, shoulder-length hair braided in Chaarlotte Amalie at Vendor's Plaza, as Ron mentioned. The cost was $65. There was also someone braiding hair at our resort on "Beach Party" day and I imagine this might be the case at other resorts as well.
