The salon

A chair that feels like family

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.

Bring your own hair or let us supply it. Tell us the look you want, and we'll tell you plainly what it takes and what it costs before we start.

  • Same-day and walk-in appointments when a chair is open
  • Clear pricing quoted before the first braid
