Back by popular demand! The smash-hit returns to Hammersmith.
Are we making money today or what?
Welcome back to Jaja’s! This bustling Harlem braiding salon is where neighbourhood women come to have their greatest hairstyle dreams come true, all in the hands of a lively group of West African, immigrant braiders.
Across one hot summers day, these women experience everything in the pressure cooker of the sweltering shop: from demanding customers to secrets and lies, laughter and betrayal. But each of these women has big dreams as well, dreams which increasingly pit them against the city they call home.
Jaja’s African Hair Braiding reunites writer Jocelyn Bioh (The Ladykillers Love Story; Nollywood Dreams) and director Monique Touko (Wedding Band; Marie and Rosetta) – the team behind the smash hit School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play.
This production is co-produced by Joshua Berg Creative.

**** 'It would be hard to not fall for the charm of Jaja’s African Hair Braiding. A celebration of femalehood, Black culture and community, it’s filled with a vibrant joy and celebration in part thanks to a cast who share a wonderful chemistry. As client Jennifer says, it’s like being at home for the day watching their 12-hour day unfold.'
