Lawrence African Hair Braiding Salon

Welcome to Ramas, your trusted Lawrence African Hair Braiding Salon, rooted in the West African braiding tradition that founder Aicha established in 2002. Current owner Dina joined in 2007. 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 Lawrence African Hair Braiding Salon

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 welcome women, men, and children ages 7 and up, giving every client the same level of care and precision no matter their age or hair type.

We’re located just minutes from Lawrence on Indianapolis’s east side, so there’s no need to cross town 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.

Micro Braids

Micro braids give you a fine, flowing look with braids so small they move and swing like natural hair. They take patience and precision, and our Lawrence stylists have the steady hands to get every row even from root to tip.

Crochet Braids

Crochet braids are a fast, low-tension way to switch up your style without long hours in the chair. Our Lawrence stylists use a crochet technique to attach pre-looped hair to your natural braids for a full, natural look that’s easy to maintain.

Goddess Braids

Bigger, bolder, and more freeform than classic cornrows, goddess braids combine thick raised braids with intricate parting for a statement style. Our Lawrence stylists tailor the pattern and thickness to fit your face shape and personal style.

Feeder Braids

Feeder braids gradually add in hair as they’re braided, giving you thinner roots and fuller ends without added weight or tension at the scalp. It’s a comfortable, natural-looking technique our Lawrence stylists have perfected over years of practice.

Ghana Braids

Also known as banana braids, Ghana braids use a thicker, raised braiding technique that creates bold, sculptural patterns. Our Lawrence stylists bring precision to every part, giving you a clean, long-lasting style with real dimension.
