Salon Daba

I had an appointment with this salon today. I just wanted my hair washed and detangled. The lady with the baby did my hair. To my horror, she lightly sprayed my hair with a detangler on my majority wet hair. I’ve never had that done before. I always thought that with black hair, you wash the hair first and then you detangle the hair. I wasn’t even at the wash bowl when she was detangling my hair. I don’t know if that method is what Africans do but us Foundational Black Americans, we have our hair soaking wet when we detangle. Then when it comes time to wash my hair, it felt like a very light wash. I didn’t feel the slip or anything. She takes me back to the chair she started doing my hair and starts detangling and my hair wasn’t wet wet. Then she gets this blow dryer looking thing. I looked like “what is this?” She asked if I wanted my hair dried? I said no. I paid in advance for a wash and detangle. Not a wash, detangle, and dry. I am not going back only because their technique is not my style. Beautiful salon and I noticed that the dreadlocks and cornrows looked beautiful from what I saw. So, perhaps dealing with natural hair is not their forte.

Absolutely amazing experience at Salon Daba!

From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The salon is beautifully designed—clean, modern, and relaxing. The staff is incredibly talented and genuinely attentive to your needs.

My stylist took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave thoughtful suggestions that worked perfectly for my hair type and lifestyle. I walked out with a fresh, stunning look that exceeded my expectations!

Whether you need a cut, color, or styling for a special event, I highly recommend Salon Daba. It’s clear they care deeply about their craft and their clients. Can’t wait for my next visit!

The staff excels in giving the client what they want or trying to achieve. My hair was tattered, dryy, breaking off and unmanageable.
I decided to get locs and my hair journey is Dynamic!! THANK YOU!!

10/10 I highly recommend. This was the most efficient braiding experience I have witnessed. Everyone was kind, professional, hard-working, collaborative, and jumped in to help when needed- at one point I had four ladies working on my head. The service was top-tier and this will be the place I now go and get my hair done from now on.

They are great and authentic really care about what they do and are understanding and compassionate group of people, high respects to them all and love the way they assist each other

I've been going to Salon Daba for about a year and a half now. Amina and the crew have been so consultative and supportive since my initial inquiry. All the staff members are efficient, kind, and communicative. Questions are answered quickly via text, and their work is top tier. Feeling conflicted writing this because this I'm tempted to gate-keep this spot lol

I also love the philanthropic component, as 15% of all proceeds go towards a great cause! Check out their website for more info on that. I love seeing when good things happen to good people - their recent expansion is so well deserved. Very proud of them. Wishing nothing but continued success! This is a truly special place.

I've been getting my hair braided by these ladies for the entire year. They have ALWAYS done quality work. I've had many hair styles from them, From twists to cornrows and I've always looked immaculate. They are currently locing my hair (which is a big step for me). My afro/natural had been my trademark for years.  Something I never thought I'd do until I visited them. Their work helped me make my decision.

I had a great experience, I absolutely loved my hair and definitely highly recommend.

Chock full of very talented artists. Best braids and dreads in so cal. They are masterful no matter what with all types of hair.🙏💜

Excellent braiding salon, affordable, quality care to hair, PROFESSIONAL and great vibes. Love this salon!

The service was amazing from start to finish. The place was super clean and had a really welcoming vibe. Everyone was so nice, friendly, and made me feel comfortable right away. The retwist was done quickly but still very precise. I could tell they really knew what they were doing. I’m so happy with the results and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

This was my first time coming to a braiding shop in LA and I had a great experience! I'd brought in mixed colors of braiding hair (#4/#27/#30)  and added wavy hair that I'd bought in the same colors for full bora bora braids (intentionally thin braids because I didn't want them to be heavy).

The wavy hair came with wefts since it was originally intended for weaving, and they graciously cut it into bulk hair although the weave hair hadn't been the most suitable for the style in comparison to bulk hair & made their work a bit more difficult.

I felt accommodated throughout the entire experience, and there was never a moment when I felt unattended to. I had two people working on my braids as a team, sometimes alternating. When one person took a break, someone else stepped in & everyone was really nice and worked quickly. They also had snacks available, which was great because I'd come in having forgotten to eat while prepping my hair and braiding materials.

The braids themselves didn't hurt at all at any point (no holding the braid down to avoid a headache or tightness afterwards), and the braids feel firmly attached with no slippage even with my fine hair strands & minimal gel usage.

Most importantly, the braids look amazing!! They made the colors blend so well and tucked the added hair really well. Some of my favorite braids ever.

My experience with Salon Daba was exceptional. From start to finish, everything was perfect ✨

Salón Daba has routinely exceeded expectations. They’re fast, they’re timely, and it’s always a peaceful environment. If you want to affordable hairstyles and all the vibes, this place is for you.

I’ve been coming here since 2022 when I got starter locs, and I’ve been faithful ever since. They’re fast and probably one of the best kept pricing secrets when it comes to retwists in this city 😏 I get compliments on my locs all the time and recommend people to come here. They also do other styles too, so it’s full service. I can’t wait to see the new location too!

The people are nice and the work is top notch the best place to go to get super fly

Best service I’ve ever had! Extremely quick  and efficient work for an affordable price. *Bonus* the vibes and conversations were amazing.

I just had the most incredible experience at Salon Daba and I couldn’t wait to share it! I went in for Chanel braids, also known as Bora Bora, and what unfolded was a heartwarming, unforgettable adventure.

From the moment I entered, the atmosphere felt like a cozy family gathering. Though we started late in the evening, the entire team came together to work on my hair—they really went above and beyond! It felt like being back home in Africa, surrounded by all the aunties lovingly doing your hair, sharing stories, laughter, and love.

Amina, who is the owner led the team, but it was such a collaborative effort! Everyone pitched in, dancing and singing while expertly braiding my hair, creating an uplifting vibe that made me forget I was in a salon. It was like a little celebration, and I felt surrounded by warmth and positivity.

While getting my hair done, I observed all the other customers in the salon. Every single person seemed to thoroughly enjoy the service, but most importantly, they were relaxed and loved their hair. The smiles, the hugs, and the sheer joy radiating from everyone showed how special they felt. You could see that “spank” in their walk—the feeling you get when you know you look amazing and your hairstylist has you looking hot!

The final result of my braids? Absolute stunning perfection! Each braid is a work of art, crafted with care and attention. The fabulous products they used left my hair feeling so healthy and shiny.

If you're looking for more than just a natural hairstyle but an experience that makes you feel like family and celebrated, I wholeheartedly recommend Salon Daba in Los Angeles. The environment, service, and quality of natural hair care—from braids to locs and everything in between—is a solid 10/10! You won’t just leave with gorgeous hair; you’ll feel like you’ve just spent an evening with friends who truly care. I’m already counting down the days until my next appointment, and I promise you’ll feel the same!

I love the services at Salon Daba, the team is so sweet and attentive. I’m always happy walking out :)

Good experience overall. They got me in the same day, well actually the same HOUR! I am from out of town and my daughter needed a protective style done. She’s only 4 years old, she did good but was also antsy she got tired of sitting still. They had so much patience with her and took their time with her they was very nice & deserve all the props!! Thank you all for fitting my baby in same day she loves her hair.

(Translated by Google) I went to the salon at the beginning of January to get cornrows done. The lady braided my hair so beautifully. I've had them for five weeks now, and they're still very strong. I'll visit the salon again the next time I'm in Los Angeles.

(Original)
Ich war Anfang Januar in dem Salon um mir Cornrows machen zu lassen. Die Dame hat die Haare so toll geflochten. Habe sie jetzt 5 Wochen und sie sind immernoch sehr fest. Wenn ich das nächste mal in Los Angeles bin, werde ich den Salon wieder aufsuchen.

Great first experience at Salon Daba! Came in to get touch-ups on my faux locs, and was able to text with them beforehand about the service. They were greatly communicative and transparent about their offerings and pricing. Once there, I didn't wait long before being seated and the stylist re-confirmed with me to make sure I wanted my whole head and not just the front retouched. I was able to let her know that my scalp was sensitive, and requested that my roots don't be wrapped too tightly. She made sure to keep checking-in with me throughout the service, and she adjusted as needed! I immediately booked a follow-up for take down in a couple weeks and will be coming here for protective styles from now on.

Thank you so much!!

This place is awesome and everyone is nice and friendly so i'm coming back.

Had great and easy service. The owner was cool on the phone and I was able to book the same day, after reading such lovely reviews. The girl who did my hair nailed it and I’m really happy with her work. She retightened everything for me and made my dreads look clean again. Thanks girls. I highly recommend

Great prices and great location ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻😍

If you want your locs to be taken care of and loved poured into your locs come here.. natural products .. attention to detail .. comforting vibes.. you will leave here and get compliments every where u go. Your trust and consistency with your loctician is very import and best for the health of your locs .. .. 7 years strong with This shop

The best place for all your dreadlock, braiding, knotless braids, extension locs, loc repair, bora bora braid needs!

First I was late, ooh so late like 40m late and then I didn't know not to park in front (only 1 hr parking), so had to go in and go back out and park on the cross street (10 hr parking). All this they handle so kindly. I got started with Victoria - who was funny and gracious (also very fast).  The place is fairly small but I so appreciated that was basically quiet. Some African videos and music on the television but not a lot of people on phones or speaking loudly. There are not a lot of frills or perks - though they offer water and I recommend you bring your own lunch (plan accordingly). Also best to first wash, blow dry your hair to speed things up. These lovely Senegalese and Gambian women are respectful and get right down to business. I had knotless individual braids (mid-back/medium). I got started at 12noon and was done by 4:30.  You want fancy and to see some famous folks this is not your place but you want quality service, nice people, a calm and quick experience with great braids - got to Salon Daba. I plan to go back and get instant locs with the owner...who came by and said hello.

This place was like visiting back to my roots. They were authentic and very good at what they do. I felt at home. I got a lot of complements on my hair style. They were very quick as well and worked as a team. I will definitely recommend if you have natural hair or need extensions.

I’ll be back! My Fulani braids were beautiful; even better than the reference photo. And we went under the expected time. Thank you so much to the ladies who braided me. I’ve been receiving compliments nonstop :)

the girls are very nice and professional. I am very satisfied. I will definitely come again . the salon is very clean and relaxing

I'm a regular. Love this place. The staff is so nice and considerate.

Amina did loc extensions on my beginner locs. They turned out amazing. I am so happy about the results and she was very kind and professional. She has a vast amount of experience and completed the work fast. I highly recommend her and I will definitely go back when it’s time to get my locs washed and retwisted.

I needed a loc maintenance  and some TLC on my scalp. I inquired over the phone and received both a text and walk in consultation. Amina is very busy but i still made an appointment and was also put on a waiting list for any cancelations. I got a last minute appointment that worked out fantastic for me. I got a wash and dry and my locs tightened up.  The lady's in the shop were very nice and I am looking forward to my next visit.

I have long curly hair passed my tailbone that’s difficult to braid and tuck my hair for wig installation but she was able to do it without having that bump in the back

Amazing service and staff very professional!!!
Always satisfied with their work

My 7 year old daughter gets her locs twisted by Amina and she is amazing!  really clean work, really great styles, as well as health and care advice! Super friendly and professional, clean shop, great music… I’M SO SAD WE’RE MOVING FROM LA😭
We love you guys and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.

This salon is superb in its execution of customer service and expertise in hair care and style.  From the personal attention to the final  artistic outcome  the results were even better than I ever had imagined.  I never looked or felt better.  A wonderful salon and uplifting experience.

They retwisted my son’s dreads, it came out amazing!! Highly recommend them

I love love this place. My braids turned out really nice and i felt confident   very friendly and professional. I will be back again for round three soon.

My daughter who’s 11 wanted starter locs. Everyone in there were very polite and helpful. They even helped me on figuring out what locs to start her with. I will be going back for her retwist.

I had a great experience here after a not so good experience at another salon. Very nice staff and even gave me tips on healthier hair. I wish I could give more stars

Amazing place and an amazing experience with my braids ! I recommend anyone trying to get braids to go here !

Good place for braid nice place good staff love it thank you

Fantastic!  I relocated and have been searching for a new salon. I was so pleased with the services provided and look forward to coming back for my hair care. Thanks!

I usually do my own hair, but my retwist lasted so long and my locs actually looked more full after. So glad I found this salon :)

Excellent job will use this service again

Great work. Great location. Natural hair stylists who care about the health of your hair, as well as the style.

Great experience for my first time. Very professional and nice.

Best place to get your hair done in Los Angeles

Love this salon! The space is intimate and I enjoy the experience of having my hair done where I can relax. Really professional

My experience here was more than enjoyable. Its clean, has a quiet atmosphere and I was in and out the chair in a timely fashion, loving the results. 10/10 would recommend

Exceptionalism starts with the artist better known as Amina! Love this shop and its down home loving feel. Always worth the visit. Always completely satisfied with my look and how they have me step out.  Sometimes the wait can be a bear, but always worth it.  And the hospitality is amazing!

Great service. Quick but done right. Everyone in the salon was treated with respect. Def recommend.

Very impressive with my locs . I wish I could of had them styled but they were busy and I was a walk in form Texas so yes I will be back.

I've been coming here for a few months now and I can honestly say . After praying that God would direct me to a great braiding shop I'm honored to be a client of this pleasurable place of Business. The owner walks with pure ownership and authority and you can feel it when she enters the room without her having to announce or acknowledge who she is , you just know ... Each individual that works for salon daba takes pride in making sure each client is satisfied with their results. Thanks so much for a great afro experience!!!
10/10 The receptionist -----until are ALL wonderful
Respectfully,
Keith Brandon "TBA"

Very welcoming and clean environment. They do fine work at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

I'm a long-time customer who always leaves satisfied. Terrific, top-tier quality braiders that are all very professional, clean and organized. They're also all very friendly and the environment is a comfortable one. Always enjoy coming here also, highly recommend!

I came here to get buildup removed from my dreads and I knew it would be a lot of work but they did it so well and I’m stoked I came here instead of trying to do it on my own. They def know what they’re doing and I’ll def be back

I want to thank this Salon as it took me a long time to find a new salon to do me and my family's hair.  Salon Daba did an amazing job on my deadlocks and style, my husband and son dreadlocks as well.  They were even able to braid my 2 daughters' hair the same day 12/20/22, a day before my husband bday.  Amazing costumer service.  I would recommend them to everyone and me and my family found a new hair home.  Thank you, Salon Daba, and many blessings to you.

I always love my service there. My hair is super cute.

Went to Salon Daba for an AVC wash + deep shampoo + retwist. I’m 1000% satisfied…the staff is so nice! I will be back.

The BEST salon in West Hollywood ❤️💯🌴

I was in town working and taking a break from the east coast.  Needed my locks retwisted. Very thorough wash and shampoo. Definitely recommend for locals and visitors like myself.

they were amazing and accommodating for my first experience here!

I’ve been here twice and each time it was a last minute appointment. Thankfully the staff was able to squeeze me in , I’m forever grateful for the accommodations made for me. I highly recommend this place for loc needs.

My son just got box braids and they look awesome. Great place, great service, reasonable price. Thank you!

If you're in the Los Angeles area and you're looking for locs, head on over to Salon Daba Plus! I went in and did an instant loc session for my entire head and the results are amazing! They were very kind, professional, diligent, and communicated everything they were going to do and helped me get set up to take good care of my hair. I recommend booking a free 10-minute consultation AND an instant loc session a few weeks in advance. Their website is pretty easy to navigate and book appointments. "They even called me up and verified that I would be coming in on the days listed and made adjustments based on what I was looking to have happen. The earliest I could book my appointment was a few months out and I had to reschedule a few times, but they were very open and flexible with getting me in to get my locs done. I'm excited to start my loc journey and will be going back to Salon Daba Plus from here on out. Merci beaucoup Salon Daba Plus!

Cheap, beautiful and professional, I’m  in love with my braids, definitely I’ll be back.

Salon Daba services have been nothing short of exceptional. Since beginning my locs,  issues such as dry scalp and maintenance plagued my life.  Thorough cleaning & innovative oil treatments invigorated my scalp resulting in healthy shiny locs. Everywhere I go bystanders compliment my hair. I highly recommend this salon!

Amina and her staff are fantastic with locs maintenance and have all the right scalp & hair conditioners for at home maintenance as well.  I highly recommended this spot for locs and braids.

It was a short-notice booking and I have received the best service. Fast and clean braids at a great price.

I love that Salon Daba team. Mina and her team are always professional and helpful. It’s nice that I don’t have to wait to get my hair done. The salon is always clean. My hair and scalp are  healthier than ever. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Fast and clean! Def coming back for my braids and twists!

I’m so happy I found this salon! My stylist was very friendly and professional.  They even accommodated me the same day.

I am very happy with my experience at Salon Daba. The staff is very professional and fast. They originally estimated 2.5 hours but finished in about 90 minutes. I will definitely be going back.

I’ve use this location for the last year every time I go I’m never disappointed service is always prompt and efficient thanks to Aminah and her amazing team of natural hair specialists I would recommend this shop to anybody that wants excellent service and amazing looking hair

Amina and her team are well informed and skilled when it comes to the latest Afro-hair braids and locs styles. I even learned more about how to take care of my hair from them when I first started growing my hair long and now it’s the healthiest it’s ever been. Coming to the salon is also a relaxing experience for me after a long week/day. I love and appreciate the no stress/drama vibe. That to me counts BIG time.

Friendly and talented staff. I love this place!!!!

Started my loc journey yesterday, my loctician was very knowledgeable, took her time to talk with me to learn what I wanted to do, and executed it flawlessly! 10/10 would recommend.

I provided very little detail prior to my appointment, as I had no clue what I was getting into, I left with knowledge and confidence to take care of my hair!

Hands down, the best place to get a retwist and loc style. Been going here for 3 years and love every bit of this place. I’m super picky about my hair and will not let anyone but Aminata do my hair. She’s the best y’all. She puts love into your hair man. Take her time and she makes her own products. Smells like an heavenly oasis. She never ever disappoints. This Senegalese Queen knows what she is doing.

Love this place! Everyone is very friendly and professional. They do a great job an my hair and I have taken my 6 year old as well to get her hair braided. If you want great hair care and quality work this is the place to go. I am glad I found them!

My words won’t be able to express my happiness every time I go to see Amina never never disappointed she is a master in her craft my dread always looked good and clean 🙏🏾

I had a great experience. All the ladies were friendly and welcoming, and my hair was so well taken care of. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone in LA who wants to do their locs.

I started my loc journey with Amina and Salon Daba years ago and she and her team have done an excellent job the entire time. From regular maintenance to deep cleaning to repair, the experience has always been fantastic. Highly recommended.

Love the spot, amazing work :) Thanks for a great look, as always!

Salon Daba and my stylist Aminata Gueye provided me with a professional, natural hair care experience, my hair was washed, conditioned, and my locs received expert maintenance. Salon Daba is a welcoming, well maintained environment with a congenial staff.

It starts to feel like family after a while. The music is great and conversation flows. Amina  and staff cares about the craft and their clients. Show them a picture and let them do the work.

Salon Daba is my HAIR HOME!!!!  I've been coming since the end of the pandemic.  I change my hair frequently and Amina and her team are more than up for the frequency.  The hair artists that work there are experienced, gentle, creative, efficient and kind.  The environment is professional with and old school salon feeling.  I'm in the entertainment industry and find myself either on stages, film, attending events and being photographed.   I'D HIGHLY RECOMMEND SALON DABA!

I  got my locs twisted a week ago Tuesday. The environment and the beautiful loctitions are peaceful warm and do excellent work! It reminded me of my Grandma and my Mom braiding my hair.
