The Awa's Hair Braiding Difference 

Finally, Get Your Time Back. 

My name is Awa, and I know what it’s like to waste an entire day in a salon chair, only to leave feeling disappointed. After moving here from West Africa and spending nearly 20 years in the braiding industry, I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I built Awa’s Hair Braiding differently. With my team of over 20 expert braiders, we’ve perfected a system that delivers stunning, neat braids in a fraction of the time. Our clients consistently give us 5-star reviews for our speed and welcoming atmosphere. As a Top 10 salon in San Diego with a 4.8-star Google rating, my promise to you is simple: you'll leave our salon quickly with a style you're 100% satisfied with. We guarantee it.
