I have been going to Grace since I was in first grade; she has been a constant in my life even now, through young adulthood. From crochet and Fulani braids to box braids and Senegalese twists, she executes every style with perfection and genuine care for her craft. Wherever I go, I receive countless compliments on my hair, which can fully be attributed to her talent.

The owner of Diamond African Hair Braiding, Grace, is professional, very knowledgeable and creates the best braided hairstyles. I met Grace over 20 years ago when I moved to NJ and she started braiding my hair, that’s how great she is. Prices are competitive and the shop is always clean. You will not regret visiting Grace and Diamond African Hair Braiding.

I had such a great experience with Grace who is very professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. She is gentle, neat, and paid attention to every detail. I absolutely love how my hair turned out every time she does my hair. I always recommend her to to family and friends.

I have been going to Grace, Diamond African Hair Braiding's owner, since before she had her own shop. My best friend introduced me to her, and when I wear my hair in protective crochet braids, I go to Maplewood from Queens, because she is that good. I don't go to hairdressers unless they are recommended to me.
Grace is punctual, braids exceptionally neat, and wants to make sure you have an exemplary head of braids when you leave her chair because she knows that is her customer's satisfaction, how their style looks, and lasts are the best ways to advertise. She also takes pride in her shop being neat and comfortable for her clientel as well.
Grace may seem a little serious when you first meet her. That's because she is about business and knows what her talent is worth. Once you get to know her and you become a trusted customer you will see that she is a warm person who cares about your satisfaction. If you have a valid issue with her work, she always makes it right. Issues are far and few between though because she is a perfectionist. She will also listen and be honest as to whether your hair can work for a particular style. You can also let her know how tender-headed you are and she will adapt for your comfort.

Ive been going to Diamond Braiding salon since last year for my son who is autistic. His braids always come out neat, clean, and exactly how he wants them. She’s patient, gentle, and very understanding, which makes the whole experience comfortable for him. She’s pretty good with appointments and communicates well, which makes scheduling easy. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her.

I’ve known Grace for 21+ years and she is the simply the best. I love that you are never waiting once you have an appointment. I’ve gotten my hair braided, twisted, crocheted and I’m always getting complimented on my hair!
