Carmel African Hair Braiding Salon

Welcome to Ramas, your trusted Carmel African Hair Braiding Salon, serving Carmel from our Indianapolis location since 2002. For over 20 years, our stylists have been practicing the techniques passed down through generations — precise, intricate, protective styles that work with your natural hair rather than against it.

Ramas: The Best Carmel African Hair Braiding Salon

The moment you step into our salon, you’ll notice the family-oriented, friendly environment. African hair braiding is more than a service. It is a craft that requires trained hands, deep knowledge of hair texture, and an understanding of how to protect and preserve natural hair through every season of life. We stand behind every style: if your braids fall out within 3 days of your visit, we’ll restyle your hair at no cost to you.

We’re located just minutes from Carmel on Indianapolis’s east side, so there’s no need to cross town — or risk a DIY style that doesn’t hold — for a salon that actually specializes in African hair braiding. Walk-ins are welcome every day of the week at 5050 E 38th St. in Indianapolis.
