Sabelle Boho
by Lima
If you’re not already going to African Braids by Lima, this is your sign to start! I’ve been getting my hair done by Lima for over a year now, and eve...ry single time I leave, I’m blown away by the precision, neatness, and quality of their work. Lima is truly a sweetheart — always on time, super professional, and flexible with scheduling when needed. I actually moved about an hour away from San Francisco and still make the drive to her shop because it’s that worth it. My braids last a long time, and I get constant compliments on how great they look. Plus, she has Wi-Fi in the shop, so I can work or catch up on shows while getting my hair done. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who asks — especially if you’re thinking about getting goddess or boho braids. You will not be disappointed! Show more

S/medium boho knotless goddess(With braiding hair)
by Gaye
I am writing to express my profound satisfaction with the recent hair service I received. The quality of the work was exceptional, and I was particula...rly impressed by the remarkable efficiency demonstrated during my appointment. For a style of this intricate nature, my previous experiences at other establishments have typically required a commitment of approximately eight hours. However, the stylist completed the work in less than four hours, which is truly outstanding and significantly exceeded my expectations regarding service speed. Furthermore, the level of communication provided, both in preparation for and throughout the appointment, was exemplary. This proactive and clear engagement ensured a seamless and highly pleasant experience from start to finish. The cost of the service proved to be an excellent value, especially considering the superior quality of the result and the unparalleled efficiency. The entire process was incredibly convenient, allowing me to be in and out in a remarkably swift manner, which I greatly appreciate. I’m coming back for sure . Book with zine’ Show more

by Lima
Let me just say…once Lima does your hair, you’ll never want another braider. I have super thick 4C hair and every time she braids it only take 4-4.5 h...ours when it usually takes others 8+. She is very compassionate with me being tender headed. My braids last 3-4 months. Best braided in SF! Show more

Ghana braids with braiding hair
by Lima
This is more like a 4.7 than a 4! Literally the only thing would be the washing sink should have a cushion on the sides and neck part while washing I ...did knock my head a bit lol but it wasn’t hard or anything but just not the most comfortable. They were able to get me in earlier than I booked which was a big plus for me. Washed, conditioned and blow dried in 30 minutes maybe less and my braids took about 45ish minutes. Came in at 8a and left before 9:30a. Sweet stylist slight language barrier but she still made sure to ask if it was too tight/ if I was okay. Yall see the time in the first two pics and the last picture are 3 days later 💕 so many compliments and the location is in my neighborhood definitely will be back Show more
