Came here for the first time today and I absolutely loved it. I walked in and was sat down and started right away. They provided the hair I was out of there within four hours even with just one woman on my head. The shop is super clean. Everyone is very nice. The lady who did my hair was extremely gentle and was always checking in with me. She was also very receptive when I said that I would like things done a certain way. This is the best experience I’ve had in African shop so far and I have been to three within the DMV. This is a 45 minute drive for me, but I’ll make it every single time and the price was extremely reasonable!
Hair type: Small knotless, Bob French curls

I had an appointment for small knotless braids mid back on July 26th. My appointment was at 8am and my hair was done by 12pm. I am very satisfied with my service and love how my hair turned out. My braids are very neat and my hairline and the nape of my neck were not braided too tight. I will definitely come back for future hair braiding appointments.

African Hair Braiding by Hawa is my go to for braids. Hawa and her team create an inviting atmosphere that instantly make me feel comfortable. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality of work and the level of service provided. I’ve been to other braiding salons in the past, but Hawa’s is by far the best experience I’ve had. Highly recommend.

My hair has been done for about 2.5 weeks now. I wanted to give my hair sometime before I did a HONEST review.
1. The owner was super professiona and very nice. Offered to let you watch whatever you wanted to. She had water and most of all the place was clean.
2. The shop is super convenient to downtown Silver Spring and is in a safe, clean location. No rift raft hanging around or in her shop.
3. Her staff was extremely pleasant as well. You don't get the uncomfortable feeling like they are "talking about" you.
4. My hair. My 1st time getting my hair this was. They answered all my questions. My braided was extremely gently throughout my head. She asked my opinion about the amount of baby hair (I hate) to leave out.
5. Time. She started at 810 amm and was done done at 1245 pmm
6. Cost. $380 ($260 style + $60 × 2 for good quality weave bundles)
They style without the better quality hair is $260.
7. Hair. They provided all hair
My hair is still holding. I am very pleased. However, I will say that there is just a few shedding which is to be expected. It is due to the hairstyle not the braided.
I definitely recommend coming

I had a great experience. Hawa was very responsive via text and got me in for an appointment the same week. The Braiders that worked on my hair were very friendly and quick. This was the first time I did color and I love my hair. I highly recommend!

I made a same day appointment and was greeted promptly and professionally. The salon was clean and the staff was very friendly. My braider, Miss, listen to how I wanted my braids and asked for pictures to confirm the style. She braided my hair exactly as pictured in the picture I presented to her with my desired length.
From my observation all the braider were experience stylist. I would highly recommend this salon to friends and family

I had the best experience at African Hair Braiding by Hawa. The environment was incredibly comfortable, making the entire process enjoyable. All the braiders were friendly and professional, but a special shout-out goes to Kathy. Her ability to grip my short hair for knotless braids was nothing short of magical. The owner is very sweet and made the appointment-making process a breeze. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for exceptional braiding services.

I got some Half up/ weave in the back, braids for the summer and they are soooooooo pretty! The braider as so fast! I watched two episodes of Chicago PD (great show, btw) and she was all done! 100% on everything! This is the only place I go to for my braids! I go no where else! I highly recommend everyone to come here and make it their go-to place for all hair care needs! Hawa and her staff are so professional and knowledgeable about African hair braiding and she is passionate about her business!

I rarely do this but shout out to my stylist at Hawa Hair Braiding Salon! After many incidents I encountered with another hair salon in the area, I was skeptical about trying another salon. I had my doubts and questions, but I appreciate Hawa's flexibility to accommodate my needs. During my first visit, my hairstyle took her time and listened to me. I was so pleased with the results and my first experience with the salon that I did not hesitate to make it my new home for my braids.

If I could give 20/10 stars I would. I’ve been patronizing here for years and I’m never disappointed. Every style I’ve asked for has always come out amazing and braiding hair is provided so it’s a really good deal. My appt times are always accommodated, space is clean and I enjoy the shows they put on for entertainment. All staff are patient and kind and work super quick, so if you want SUPERB quality and great customer service, Hawa Braiding is the best in the DMV, hands down.

Went to Aisha’s hair braiding, drove 4 hours to get there for the lady to try and make me get a style I didn’t want. Then she waved me off so I took me and my 3 girls and headed to this place and she exceeded my expectations. Go where you are appreciated not tolerated. Stay away from Aisha’s hair braiding and head to African hair braiding by hawa!!!!!!!!!!!!
