## Our Story

From a small family dream to Harlem's premier braiding salon

### The Family Hair Braiding Journey

Family Hair Braiding was founded in 2008 by Aminata Diallo, a master braider with over 20 years of experience. What began as a small, two-chair salon in Harlem has grown into a thriving business that serves clients from all five boroughs and beyond.

Our story is one of passion, dedication, and a deep commitment to preserving the art of traditional hair braiding while innovating with contemporary styles. We believe that beautiful hair begins with proper technique, quality materials, and genuine care.

##### Traditional Techniques, Modern Style

We honor centuries-old braiding traditions while staying current with modern trends and techniques.

##### Quality Over Everything

From our premium hair extensions to our professional tools, we never compromise on quality.

##### A Community Hub

More than just a salon, we've become a gathering place where clients become family.
