Explore the work taking shape at Awa Hair Braiding, from polished protective styles and detailed braid patterns to locs, extensions, kids’ styles, and creative looks for men.
Braid before-and-after photos show how thoughtful sectioning, added hair, texture, and styling direction can completely reshape the finished look.
Protective hairstyle inspiration is a useful starting point, but braid size, length, texture, color, and maintenance should also shape your decision. Our African braid design portfolio gives you visual references to compare before settling on a look.
Finished knotless braid examples, curly boho styles, locs, cornrows, kids braids, men’s designs, and extensions can all be adjusted to suit your preferred finish.
Compare braid length and size examples before deciding how bold, lightweight, long, or detailed you want your style to feel.
Bring the photo, tell us what caught your eye, and we can discuss how the style can work for your hair.
Our salon client hairstyle showcase captures the finished looks. Client feedback offers another perspective on the styling process, team, flexibility, and experience at Awa Hair Braiding.

I will be back!!!!Posted on Google Jamie PorterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Sarah and manoshka. They were really nice and got me in and out of the braiding place in 2.5 hours. I paid $30 deposit and that was not applied to my total price of which I paid $200. I asked for knotless and got box braids.Posted on Google Nia de la Pena - ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They always do an amazing job and it’s quick! Salon is clean and not overwhelming. 10/10✨
