Jaja’s African Hair Braiding in Harlem is full of sharp, funny and talented women who make their clients look and feel “nice-nice.” One sweltering summer day, Jaja’s daughter Marie runs the salon while her mother readies for a green-card wedding. As Marie manages laugh-out-loud drama in the shop, unexpected news unites the stylists and clients, deepening their bonds and sense of belonging.
This Tony Award-winning production is a love letter to all the incredible, unsung immigrant women bringing beauty to the world through their craft each and every day.
