Hair salon in Elizabeth, NJ
Aicha Professional Hair, on Dickinson Street in Elizabeth, has built a decade-plus practice around African hair braiding -- box braids, cornrows, twists, and other protective braided styles executed with the kind of speed and precision that only comes from years of daily repetition. The salon runs long hours seven days a week, opening at 9:30am and closing as late as 7pm most nights, a schedule built for clients who need weekend or evening appointments around work and family obligations. Deposits are required to hold appointments -- $25 for standard braided or twist styles, $75 for more involved Trio or Tree Braid styles using human hair -- a system that reflects how much time-intensive braiding work actually demands from a stylist's day. In 2020, the salon expanded beyond styling into product development, launching its own line of natural, handmade hair and skin care products, a move that let the business extend its expertise into take-home care rather than stopping at the chair. The salon also donates five percent of its weekly income to Lavie Of The World, folding a community-giving component into its regular operations. With over 300 reviews and a loyal Union County client base built over ten-plus years in business, Aicha Professional Hair has become a go-to destination for protective braided styles in Elizabeth. For clients seeking skilled, efficient braiding alongside natural product options -- and a business that gives back as it grows -- Aicha's combination of longevity and community investment sets it apart.
Aicha Professional Hair has operated in Elizabeth since 2013, and in 2020 expanded into making its own natural, handmade hair and skin care products.
