Knotless braids, box braids, cornrows, locs and more — from a Balboa Ave salon just minutes from our Balboa Ave salon, open 24 hours a day.
Just minutes from our Balboa Ave salon · open 24 hours, seven days a week · parking on site
Clairemont Mesa sits just minutes from our Balboa Ave salon, which makes Awa Hair Braiding one of the most convenient options in the area for authentic African hair braiding. But proximity is rarely why clients stay — it is that the shop runs on genuine West African technique rather than trend-copying, and that a twenty-braider team means you are not committing an entire day to one appointment.
We see a steady mix of Clairemont Mesa regulars: parents booking kids braiding around school schedules, professionals fitting a knotless install into a weekday evening, and clients who simply want protective styling done by people who trained properly for it. Because the salon is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, there is rarely a scheduling conflict we cannot work around.
Every service offered at our San Diego location is available to Clairemont Mesa clients — nothing is limited by neighbourhood.

San Diego is home to a large military community, and irregular schedules — early call times, deployments, last-minute leave — do not mix well with salons that only book business hours. Our 24-hour availability exists specifically so service members and their families can book a style around their schedule instead of around ours.
Clairemont Mesa clients tell us the same thing repeatedly: they had been driving much further, or waiting much longer, for work of this standard. Being a few minutes away with a full style menu and round-the-clock booking removes both problems at once.
Early mornings, late nights or last-minute leave — there is always a time that works.
