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.


“Critic’s Pick! … Hot and hilarious … a riotously funny workplace comedy.” – The New York Times

“Wickedly entertaining … a sparkling ensemble comedy as tautly woven as one of the intricate hairdos in Jaja’s Harlem salon.” – Washington Post

“Bioh pays tribute to the bonds women share … You will be entertained, enlightened, and moved.” – New York Amsterdam News

“Bioh breathes both joy and grief into these women within her stellar script, giving them each their own distinct personalities and lived-in experiences … The result is a play that is equally as affecting as it is hilarious.” – Entertainment Weekly
