For over a decade, Mariam has been transforming hair into art on Nostrand Avenue — where every braid tells a story and every client leaves feeling like royalty.
What began as a passion for preserving the rich tradition of African hair braiding has grown into Brooklyn's most trusted braiding studio. Mariam Professional Hair Braiding sits on the bustling Nostrand Avenue — a neighborhood that understands culture, community, and the power of a great hairstyle.
Every appointment is handled with patience, precision, and genuine care. Whether you're coming in for your first protective style or your fiftieth, you'll leave feeling seen, respected, and beautifully styled.
From classic cornrows to modern knotless braids, every style is crafted with premium hair and expert technique.
Intricate cornrow patterns from sleek straight-backs to elaborate designs. Feed-in technique for a natural, bump-free finish that lasts.
Timeless box braids and the lighter, tension-free knotless style. Available in multiple lengths and sizes for every look and lifestyle.
Professional loc installation, maintenance, and retwists. We work with all loc styles — from new starts to mature locs needing a fresh shape.
Boho twists, passion twists, Senegalese twists, and more. Soft, textured styles that are perfect for everyday elegance or special occasions.
Statement-making styles including goddess braids with curls, Fulani patterns, and spiral twists. Bold, beautiful, and head-turning.
Scalp treatments, braid care tips, and removal services. We want your hair to stay healthy and strong no matter what style you choose.
Our clients keep coming back — and that says everything.
"I've been coming to Mariam for over three years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. The attention to detail is unmatched — my braids always look flawless and last forever."
"Best braiding salon in Brooklyn, hands down. Mariam makes you feel so comfortable — the whole experience is relaxing. My knotless braids were the prettiest I've ever had."
"I brought my two daughters here for their first braids and Mariam was so patient and gentle with them. Now we all come together — it's become our monthly tradition. Truly a gem on Nostrand."
Walk-ins are always welcome, but calling ahead ensures your spot. We can't wait to create something beautiful with you.
