Penda African hair braiding

A six-braid cornrow refresh can tighten up a look in less than an hour. That two-hour knotless twist session has brought plenty of repeat clients. Behind these specific styles lies Penda African hair braiding, a Harlem salon focused on protective styles.

The shop sits at 1934 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10035, a stretch where storefronts cater to neighborhood needs. Traditional cornrows, individual braids, and feed-in techniques sit alongside box braids and goddess locs. Call (718) 581-7892 if you need a quick weekend refresh or an upcoming event style.

A short walk south brings you toward Marcus Garvey Park’s quiet paths. Find the map online to reach the salon without zigzagging through side streets.
