About

Luceta African Hair Braiding is a braiding salon at 100 North Ave in Plainfield, New Jersey. Its stated mission is to provide professional braiding that enhances natural beauty, supports hair health and builds confidence. According to the salon, it has 30 braiding experts at one location, more than 250 satisfied clients, and braiders with over 12 years of combined experience.

The salon describes itself as offering 25 or more signature braiding styles.

Clients can choose synthetic or human hair. Many bring their own human hair for the ends. Consultations can be scheduled before an appointment to talk through a desired look, and clients may bring their own hair care products so the stylist can see what they use. Hair care recommendations are matched to each client's hair type.

Aftercare advice includes moisturizing the scalp and sleeping in a satin bonnet or scarf. With proper care, the salon gives these wear times: about 2 to 4 weeks for cornrows, 3 to 5 weeks for goddess braids, 3 to 6 weeks for crochet braids, and 4 to 6 weeks for box braids, knotless braids and Senegalese twists.

Gentle techniques are intended to protect the scalp and support long-term hair health, with each braid designed around the client's face shape, hair type and personal style.
