About

The business traces its roots to the original Sahan Motherland African Hair Braiding Salon and Spa in Hyde Park, Chicago, founded by Aka-Sahan Kourouma. The founder has since moved from that salon to a private studio in the Chesterfield area, and the business lists its store in Chicago.

The business describes its approach as holistic, with the aim of easing anxiety and stress through treatments. Skin health is presented as the first priority, and skincare is framed as a health and wellness need rather than an extra.

The menu is broad. Braiding covers protective styles from cornrows and crochet braids to knotless, box and micro braids, with hair weaving alongside. Eyebrow work includes threading, tinting, waxing, microblading and ombre tinting, and eyelash services range from tinting and strip lashes to classic and volume extensions. Waxing spans the face, underarms, legs, bikini, Brazilian, back, chest and full body. Facials are priced from $80 to $155, and clinical massage includes Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic, sport, trigger point and hydrotherapy styles. Bundles combine brow, lip, chin, underarm and Brazilian work into one booking.

The store is open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 7pm, and closed on Sundays. Sunday appointments are arranged by calling the salon, and a $35 booking fee is added to services booked on Sundays. The business lists a customer service line, a work phone number and the email info@sahanmotherland.com.

The Crown Membership costs $65 per month and includes unlimited eyebrow services, with waxing, threading and tinting, and weekly appointments are available. The Majesty Membership costs $120 per month and includes weekly appointments and unlimited access to waxing, lashes, brows and luxury facials. Majesty members also receive 50% off all braiding services. The business describes Majesty as its premier, all-inclusive tier.

Takes a holistic approach aimed at reducing anxiety and stress, with skin health treated as the first priority.
