Ready for a hairstyle that turns heads and keeps your hair healthy?
From intricate box braids to sleek locs and protective styles that last, we craft looks as unique as you are — right here in the heart of Astoria.
Styles That Speak for Themselves
Every style is tailored to your hair type, lifestyle, and vision — because one size never fits all.
Box Braids
Classic to trendy — from knotless to jumbo size, we create box braids that protect your natural hair while looking absolutely stunning.
Knotless Braids
Lighter, smoother, and gentler on your hairline. Our knotless braids give you that natural-looking part with zero tension discomfort.
Locs & Twists
Whether you're starting locs, maintaining existing ones, or love the look of twists — we deliver clean, neat results every time.
Feed-In Braids
Seamless, scalp-hugging braids that look like they grew out of you. Feed-in technique means no bulky starts — just pure elegance.
Cornrows & Designs
From straight-back classics to intricate geometric patterns, our cornrow work is precision-crafted art you can wear with pride.
Natural Hair Care
Washes, deep conditioning, trims & maintenance — we treat your natural hair with the same care and attention it deserves.

Crafting Beautiful Hair
More Than a Salon —
It's a Experience
La Chama Braids was born from a simple belief: every person deserves a space where their hair is treated like art — and where they feel genuinely welcomed.
Located on Steinway Street in Astoria, we've spent over a decade perfecting the craft of braiding, locs, and protective styling. Our salon is your refuge from the rush of the city — a place where you can relax, chat, and emerge looking and feeling like the best version of yourself.
We work with all hair types and textures, and we take the time to understand what you want before we pick up a single comb. No rush, no pressure — just skilled hands and a warm atmosphere.
Real Styles, Real Clients

"First time getting locs and I was so nervous, but the team at La Chama made me feel completely at ease. They walked me through every step and the result was exactly what I envisioned. Truly talented people."
"Best braiding salon in Queens, hands down. Fair prices, no upselling, and the braids are always neat on day one and still neat two months later. My go-to spot every single time I need a new style."
