About Africa Hair Braiding

Africa Hair Braiding has been a premier hair salon in Chicago, Forest Park, and Berwyn since 2000, specializing in a variety of African hair braiding styles, hair coloring, and nourishing treatments. The expert stylists are professionally trained in African hair braiding techniques and passionate about helping each client express their unique style. Customers praise the salon's quick and efficient service. One reviewer had her medium Fulani braids done in just 4 hours, which is considered very fast. The stylists are skilled at braiding even very thick, difficult hair. One customer with a lot of hair had her braids completed in around 5 hours. The salon offers affordable pricing, though the exact cost may vary depending on the length of hair being braided. Customers are encouraged to communicate clearly about the desired style and bring their own hair, as the stylists may have preferences for certain hair types and brands. While the salon atmosphere can feel a bit hectic at times, with stylists conversing in their native language, those who are polite and pleasant to the staff tend to have the best experiences. Overall, Africa Hair Braiding provides a transformative experience, allowing clients to embrace the beauty of African hair braiding. With quick service, skilled stylists, and reasonable prices, the salon is a top choice for Chicago-area residents seeking exceptional braiding services.

    Angie did an amazing job on my braids! She was very quick and efficient! I have a lot of hair but it only took like 5 hours! She even took pictures and video of me at the end haha! And the braids are reasonably priced!

    Not gonna lie, EVERY time I've come here for service, I've gotten exactly what I asked for if not better. Pretty affordable and they are QUICK. Come w/ CASH and be straight forward with what you want and when. The shop is not the most clean. When you call to set up a time and style, if you want to be serviced within a reasonable amount of time SAY SO. I have walked out of their shop multiple times (2-3) for telling me to wait 30 minutes to an hour when I called and make it clear to service me at the time you said. And you know what, when I came back (and remained pleasant) they not only remembered me but apologized.

    I also TIP them and that has made my experiences...read full review
