About

African Nubian works in three service groups: braid styles, twists and weaves. The braid menu is the longest, running from simple feed-in braids and cornrows to larger jumbo braids and detailed micro braids and box braids. The twist menu covers flat, Havana, kinky, Marley, Nubian, spring, two-strand and Senegalese twists.

Before any braiding, stylists talk through face shape, lifestyle and color preferences. Clients can add colored extensions, beads and cuffs during installation, and dyeing natural hair is discussed at the consultation. The salon says its approach puts scalp health first, using gentle braiding and moisturizing treatments.

Weaves are offered as traditional sew-ins, where natural hair is left out to blend with the extensions, and full sew-ins, where all-natural hair is braided underneath. Sew-ins with a lace closure or a lace frontal are available for a hairline that looks more seamless. The salon offers custom color matching and tinting for weaves and gives aftercare guidance afterward. Exact weave pricing depends on the service, hair quality and length, so clients are asked to consult for a quote.

Booking is done through the website, which passes requests to a booking platform. Listed prices start at $40 for feed-in braids and $150 for most sew-ins, and the site lists appointment lengths of about seven hours for micro and box braids.

The salon says it prioritizes scalp health through gentle braiding and moisturizing treatments, and stylists consult on face shape, lifestyle and color before braiding.
