About

Aisha Hair Braiding was opened in 2011 by its owner, Aisha Traore, and is located at 7918 Georgia Ave in Silver Spring. The salon describes itself as the top African braiding salon in DC, and says it plans to open more locations.

The owner describes a family-style welcome, with the goal that clients leave feeling polished, respected and self-assured. Walk-ins are taken first come, first served, and guests check in by scanning a QR code on arrival. Appointments are available for select styles, and a wash and blow-dry can be arranged on request when you arrive.

The menu is organized around braiding families: cornrows and feed-ins, straight-back and more detailed cornrow designs, lemonade and side-swept styles, and several sizes of knotless braids that are described as tension-free. Fulani braids combine box braids with Fulani patterns, and French curl and boho styles use pre-curled extensions. Bora Bora braids, made with human hair for a wavy look, are also offered.

Prices are estimates, and the final cost depends on hair length, thickness and how complex the style is. An extra-long hair fee applies, and adding human hair to the ends of braids or mixing hair are listed as separate fees, with amounts not published. Deposits are generally not required, though they may be requested for large bookings, and the final price is set at the salon.

Hair maintenance includes loc maintenance, which covers a wash and retwist, with styles added on. The salon also has Instagram and TikTok accounts.

The salon says it uses premium products and careful technique to keep hair healthy and styles lasting.
