West Haven, Connecticut
Ten-plus years of protective styling by a mother and daughter who take real pride in the work. Early mornings, fair prices, no rush.
The salon
Hadja opened her doors so neighbors would have somewhere calm, clean, and honest to get their hair braided. Clients have been coming back for eight years and more — and many walk in the same morning they call.
