About African Hair Braiding by Fama

African Hair Braiding by Fama is a Los Angeles-area salon specializing in traditional African braiding styles and natural hair care, led by braider Fama Deme. The salon offers knotless braids (single extension braids braided close to the scalp for a natural look, available in small, medium, large, and XL sizes up to waistline and butt length), cornrows (in small, standard, or design patterns), tribal braids inspired by the Fulani tribe of West Africa, and stitch braids using the feed-in technique for both men and women. Special-design braid services include lemonade braids and ponytail buns, and the salon offers loc services such as comb retwists, loc repair, and shampoo service, plus weave services including full weave, weave installs, and track extensions. Touch-up appointments are available for up to four weeks after a style is completed. Beyond braiding, the salon specializes in traditional styles such as box braids, Senegalese twists, and Ghana braids; natural hair styling including twist-outs, bantu knots, afro puffs, and protective updos; hair extensions and custom wig styling; weave installations using sew-in, quick weave, and crochet techniques; and hair care treatments like deep conditioning, scalp treatments, and hot oil treatments. Fama also runs a professional braider course teaching students how to braid, with classes that the salon notes fill up quickly. Booking is handled online through the salon's website.

The founders of African Hair Braiding by Fama had a realization: why settle for boring? They launched with the conviction that business could be professional AND fun, skilled AND spirited. Starting in Los Angeles, they've attracted customers who value both quality and personality. Their story proves that authenticity and joy are competitive advantages, and that Black business culture thrives when people bring their whole selves to the work.
