About Braids & Locs by Awa LLC
Braids and Locs by Awa LLC is a natural hair salon in Raleigh specializing in protective styling and loc care, run by owner and stylist Awa at 2718 Rock Quarry Road. The salon offers a detailed menu of braiding and loc services built around client comfort and hair health, including box braids and knotless braids finished with hair freshly blown out and free of oils or products, kids' box braids, stitched cornrows on natural hair, and feed-in braids in both full and simplified two-braid options. Loc clients are especially well served, with services ranging from full loc maintenance with wash and simple styling, to loc shampoo-only visits, to shampoo paired with a hydrating steam treatment. For those starting their loc journey, Awa offers several installation methods, including two-strand twist starts, traditional coil starts, and a micro loc start that begins at $900 and includes a thorough shampoo and clean parting tailored to the client's hair type and desired outcome. The salon has built a strong reputation on Booksy, holding a 4.9 rating with reviews describing a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere and consistent, neat results. One reviewer praised the salon's professionalism and mastery of craft, joking the service deserved a rating beyond five stars, while others highlighted friendly staff, careful communication, and braids that came out exactly as requested. The salon also credits a stylist named Faith alongside Awa for delivering quality work in a relaxed setting. Appointments are booked primarily online, though Awa accommodates Sunday and Monday bookings by text message only, reflecting the personalized, small-business feel that keeps clients returning.
