On my first cruise as a teenager my sister had this done right off the port and my mom spent the rest of that night undoing every braid because they tied them so tight she was in pain. Just my personal experience.

There used to be a couple of ladies who braided hair right by the ship. You did not have to go far. it's been several years since we've been to Nassau, so not sure if it's changed.

The port is all brand newly opened this summer, and there are always at least 2 or 3 or more around the port area. Also, near the touristy areas too.

when we went there was braiding, but be sure to set a final price in advance. if they charge by the braid make sure you set a limit.

As noted, yes. both in a designated area within the new port complex and also setup around the nearby straw market.

Most definitely! Shop around and ask for a better price than that which is posted!

I haven't seen any women in Nassau, but they are stationed in parts of Coco Cay
