Welcome to Mariama Hair Braiding, San Diego's premier destination for authentic African hair braiding. Founded by Mariama with over 20 years of experience, our salon was born from a deep passion for bringing West African braiding traditions to the vibrant San Diego community. We specialize in a wide range of protective styles — including Knotless Braids, Senegalese Twists, Boho Braids, and Cornrows — all crafted with precision and care. Our 'Healthy Hair' philosophy means we prioritize tension-free techniques that protect your edges and promote natural hair growth. Serving women, men, and children of all hair textures, we combine ancestral techniques with modern trends to deliver stunning, long-lasting results in a warm, welcoming, and professional environment.
