BraidsAisha

Braids By Aisha was founded by Aisha, and the salon builds its work around the heritage of African hair styling while drawing on current trends. The salon describes its mission as celebrating African hair braiding and weaving and creating hairstyles with cultural roots.

A visit usually begins with a consultation, where the stylist talks through the look the client wants, the condition of their hair and the approach that would suit it. From there, the salon plans a bespoke style, whether that is a traditional braid, a weave or extensions in a chosen texture and length, or a bolder, fresh design.

Braiding and weaving sessions typically run two to four hours, and the salon gives an estimated timeframe at the consultation. Walk-ins are welcome, though booking ahead is recommended. Group bookings and special events can be arranged by contacting the salon directly.

The salon describes its atmosphere as personal and warm, and says its values centre on creativity, cultural pride and blending tradition with modern trends. It also states that its commitment to quality extends to every detail of the finished style.

Uses high-quality products and gentle techniques meant to keep hair healthy, with each style planned around the client's hair condition and desired look.

A personal, warm setting where consultations are tailored to each client.
