What we do
Braids
01Scissor and clipper work shaped to how your hair actually grows, checked in the mirror before the cape comes off.
Fades & tapers
02Skin, low, mid or high, blended by hand so the fade disappears instead of stopping at a line.
Beard trims
03Shaped with shears and clippers, cheek and neck lines finished with a razor for a clean edge that holds.
Hot towel shaves
04Steamed towel, brush lather, and a straight razor for a close shave with a cold towel finish.
Kids' cuts
05Quick, calm cuts for younger clients, with the mirror close by so they can watch the whole thing.
Color & styling
06Color and styling work finished to match the cut underneath it, not layered on as an afterthought.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookCut for the regrowth
Every cut is shaped to still look right weeks later, not just fresh out of the chair.
Checked in the mirror
You see the cut at each stage and approve it before the cape comes off.
Consistency, visit to visit
We keep track of what worked last time so a repeat visit means a repeat result.
A shop built around the regulars
Awa's Hair Braiding runs on the idea that a good cut is a conversation before it's a pair of clippers. Every visit starts with a look at how your hair actually behaves during the week, not just how it sits for the walk to the mirror. Fades get blended by hand, guard by guard, and necklines get cleaned up with a razor so the edges hold their shape. Kids get the same patience as anyone else in the chair. Come with a photo or come with nothing — either way you leave knowing why the cut was shaped the way it was.
“I got medium knotless braids and my hair looks absolutely beautiful! It only took 2 hours to get in and out and I will definitely be coming back!!!”
“Great atmosphere. Chairs are spaced well. Beautiful music. Braiders are kind. Owner Awa helped me switch styles, I forgot to bring hair! Would recommend!”
“It was such a nice experience. I don’t get my hair done often and I will say I felt very taken care of. My hair looks really good. I showed a picture of what I wanted and pretty much got just that.”

good to know
- Do I need an appointment?
- Booking ahead gets you a chair without waiting around, and walk-ins are taken when a chair is free. If you're coming from further out, call first and we'll tell you honestly what to expect that day.
- I don't know the name of the cut I want — is that a problem?
- No. Tell us what bothers you about your current cut and what your week actually looks like. Naming the style is our job; describing what you want day to day is all we need from you.
- Do you cut children's hair?
- Yes. We go at their pace, keep the clippers quiet, and let them watch the process in the mirror. Most kids who start out nervous end up picking their own chair the next time.
