    I had my hair braided at Akwaba Braids in Alexandria, VA, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The ladies were amazing, professional, and attentive throughout the entire appointment. They continuously checked to make sure I was comfortable, asked if I liked the size of the braids, and made sure I wasn’t experiencing any pain.
    My braids were completed in a timely manner and turned out exactly the way I wanted. Thank you so much to the entire team at Akwaba Braids for your excellent service, professionalism, and for making me feel beautiful! This is the reason I keep coming back.

    Coming here for the past year now and Awa has been amazing she always knows what I want and has the best designs and I love how anytime I want conrrrows she can just freestyle however she wants to do them and they always come out perfect!!! I’d say if anyone needs their braids done definitely come here. Also came again recently and had a new stylist and she did amazing it was first time trying a new style and it went amazing!!!

    My almost 10 year old and I got our hair done at Akwaba. It was an amazing experience. The place is joyful with lots of laughter. The ladies were very professional. We left with both are hair styles looking beautiful and well done. My daughter’s braids were not too tight. And we were given individual attention. Our appointment started on time. I will be back again and highly recommend
