Hairdresser in Newark, NJ
Amina Hair Braiding Salon has become a fixture on Washington Street in Newark, part of a long tradition of African hair braiding shops that anchor commercial corridors in the city and give clients a place where the craft is understood on sight, not explained from scratch. The salon's braiders work across the full spectrum of protective and decorative styles, from intricate knotless braids to trendy boho looks, each requiring the kind of hands-on training passed down through years of practice rather than something picked up from a manual. With a 4.4-star rating built from dozens of reviews, the shop has earned its standing through the things that matter most to regulars: cleanliness, efficient service, and braiders who take the time to get the details right rather than rushing a client out the door. For Newark's Black community, a trusted braiding salon is more than a beauty service — it is a gathering point, a place where relationships between stylist and client often stretch back years, where a mother brings her daughter for her first set of braids and keeps coming back a decade later. Amina Hair Braiding Salon, open seven days a week, fits into that neighborhood rhythm, offering a reliable, skilled option for a service that carries real cultural weight in the community it serves.
