About

Afro-American Braids Salon is a Charlotte braiding salon that offers traditional African hair braiding. The salon says it treats every client with personal attention, as part of a close, family-like atmosphere, and it adjusts each service to the client's needs and taste while keeping budget in mind.

The menu is organized into Braids, Locs and Twists. Braid options run from quick stitch braids and feed-ins to longer knotless, box and tree styles, with cornrows offered for adults and for children. Locs include dreadlocks and faux locs, and twists include retwists, wash and retwist, and several named twist styles.

Pricing is set by service, with starting prices listed for most styles. The salon also groups its braiding services into three tiers: Basic braids from $45 per session (up to 2 hours, with simple cornrows, standard sizing and hair care tips), Premium braids from $85 per session (up to 4 hours, with complex designs, extensions and beads), and Luxury braids from $125 per session (up to 6 hours, with bespoke designs, premium hair and a luxury finish). Some listed styles, such as Ghana Braids and Nubian Twists, do not show a price.

For busy periods, the salon keeps emergency appointment slots, and clients can call for same-day availability. The salon is open seven days a week, and the phone number is (704) 532-0957.

The salon aims to treat each client individually and to tailor each service to their needs, taste and budget.
