Centrally Located for the East Valley
Eva's African Hair Braiding Salon sits at 950 E Pecos Rd in Chandler — a location that puts us within a short drive of almost every community in the East Valley. We chose this spot intentionally. Clients searching for quality hair braiding in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, or even Scottsdale and Queen Creek can reach us without a long commute.

Whether you're coming down from the 202 or up from the 101, getting to our plaza is straightforward. And once you arrive, there's free parking directly in front of our suite — no meters, no garages, no walking across a lot.
12+ Years of Professional Experience
Experience is one of the top reasons clients drive past other options to reach our salon. With over 12 years of braiding professionally, our team has handled every hair type, every style variation, and every challenge that can come up during an install.
That experience shows up in the details: clean parts, consistent tension, even sections, and a finished style that looks polished — not rushed. Many clients who find us after trying other salons in Gilbert or Mesa tell us the difference is immediately visible.
We specialize in African hair braiding traditions — this isn't a side service we offer alongside other salon work. It's our entire focus, and that specialization is why we deliver consistent results.
Full Range of Services Under One Roof
Another reason clients from across the Valley choose us: we offer everything in one place. No need to go to one salon for braids and another for locs. Our service menu covers:
- → Box braids (traditional, knotless, boho, colored)
- → Cornrows (straight-back, custom patterns, feed-in)
- → Fulani braids, tribal braids, and goddess braids
- → Senegalese twists, passion twists, and spring twists
- → Loc installations, retwists, and repairs
- → Faux locs, butterfly locs, and soft locs
- → Wig installations (lace front, closure, sew-in)
- → Kids braiding styles for all ages
- → Men's braids and cornrows
Whatever style you're looking for, chances are we do it — and do it well.
Open 7 Days a Week
We know scheduling is tough. Between work, kids, and life in general, finding time for a braiding appointment can feel impossible. That's why we're open every single day:
Monday – Saturday
8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Sunday
8:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Sunday availability is something many salons in the Gilbert and Mesa area don't offer. For clients who work Monday through Friday, having a weekend option — with extended Sunday hours — makes all the difference.
Consistent Quality Every Visit
Consistency is what builds trust. When you find a braider who does your hair the way you like it, you don't want to gamble on someone new. Our clients from Gilbert and Mesa keep coming back because they know exactly what they're getting every time:
Clean, precise parts
Our braiders take the time to section properly. Straight lines, even spacing, no rushed work.
Comfortable tension
Tight enough to last, gentle enough to be comfortable. We never pull so hard that you're in pain — and we check in throughout the process.
Quality extensions
We use premium kanekalon and synthetic hair that looks natural, holds well, and doesn't tangle or mat prematurely.
Polished finish
Every appointment ends with a final check. Edges cleaned up, flyaways smoothed, and the overall style looking exactly how you envisioned it.
Easy Booking Process
We've made booking as simple as possible. You can request an appointment online any time — select your service, preferred date, and any notes about what you want. We confirm within a few hours. You can also call us at (480) 516-8909 or reach out via WhatsApp.
No complicated booking systems. No deposits required for most services. Just straightforward scheduling that respects your time.
