Our Story

It all started in January 2011 at 165 Maple Avenue, Suite 103-A with Sakira African Hair Braiding Salon — working with an amazing team of braiders, raising the bar on how neat, fast, and beautiful hair can be braided, making customers happy and coming back over and over with friends, family, and co-workers.

From as close as Fairfax, Ashburn, Reston, and Herndon — and with referrals driving hours from McLean, Tysons Corner, Manassas, Gainesville, Chantilly, and Centreville — clients have always made the journey to see our talented braiders.

"Clients named Sakira's salon the 'hair braiding machine' because of how professional and fast we braid — and above all, how affordable our services are."

Being in this business for more than twenty years, Sakira's has trained most of the hair braiding salon owners in the area. Experience makes the difference — "We come up with the new trend and others just copy."

Remember: we are your one-stop shop for all your hair braiding and weaving needs. This is where your hair braiding problems stop.
