Welcome to Teranga Braiding!

My name is Marie Afrik, and I am honored to bring the timeless beauty and artistry of Senegalese braiding to the heart of California. Born and raised in Senegal, my journey is deeply rooted in a rich cultural heritage and a passion for connecting people through creativity and tradition.

As a proud immigrant to the United States, I’ve embraced this exciting new chapter by sharing the vibrant traditions of my homeland with my clients. Fluent in French and other languages, I strive to provide a warm, personalized experience for each individual. Every style I create is a reflection of your unique personality, beauty, and identity.

At Teranga Braiding, our mission goes beyond hairstyling. We aim to create a welcoming space where culture, elegance, and individuality come together. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of your journey to celebrate self-expression and beauty.

Thank you for trusting Teranga Braiding—we can’t wait to bring your vision to life!
