African Braiding-Le Balafon

Grace and her team are lovely . The shop gives a welcoming vibe and my braids are always neat. They use great products. I’ve been at least 5 times. If I lived in Oakland still she would still be my go to.

Braids are very neat and fast service , unsure who did my hair but make sure you tell your braider to go easy & leave out edges , MINES ARE GONE !

Gloria did my hair. Her hands are blessed. I was very happy with my hair. I recommend Ms. Gloria to braid your hair. You can tell she has a passion for it.

Pristine single braids at a reasonable price ($250) compared to other shops in the area. Took a bit long but the final product was totally worth the wait. Shop is no frills, technicians and friendly and expert. Would definitely visit again.

I needed my hair braided in a protective style to wear under a wig I just purchased and came across this gem. Nice location with beautiful authentic African handbags and decor. The beauticians are kind and efficient. Thelma effortlessly perfected the style I needed within just 1 hour. The atmosphere is welcoming and makes you feel at home I definitely recommend and will be back. Blessings ❤️💛🖤
