I've been coming to Ms. Gladys since I was 16 years old and am 23 now. She is by far the most gentle and efficient hair braider in the area. I've had this put in two months ago and not one braid has come out yet! Musa is also following COVID-19 guidelines during this trying time, and is very hygienic. I love Ms. Gladys and I will always come to her for my braiding needs. read more

After months of searching for a place that can braid my daughters hair, I decided to go with Musa Braids & Weaves due to their excellent reviews both on yelp & google. Today I got to witness firsthand how great Gladys is at what she does. She's very accommodating, professional, prompt and friendly. She did an amazing job with the installation of my daughters box braids. We are very pleased. I was also very impressed with how quickly she braided her hair. Great quality and reasonably priced. I'm looking forward to going back to Musa Braids and Weaves next month for Gladys to braid my hair. So happy that I found her shop. read more

Been bringing my daughter here for years!! Miss Gladys is great! my daughter has learned to sit for hours! Minimal discomfort. Braids look great and last at least 5 weeks read more

Gladys is an artist of her craft. I have been to her twice for box braids, and she has done an excellent job each time. She is extremely knowledgeable and will work with you to give you the best style you want to fit with your lifestyle. The second time I went to her I had decided that I wanted my hair to have significantly less volume since I'm very active. Gladys worked her magic and gave me beautiful, long box braids with 1/2 to 2/3 of the hair she usually uses. My head did not feel any extra weight from the braids even in the first few nights. Finally, there was one kanekalon color that I wanted mixed into my box braids that Gladys did not have. She allowed me to run to a beauty supply store and buy the color and still stick with the same appt that day. I plan to always go to her for all my braiding needs. read more

Just came back a second time to get my daughter's hair braided again. Was not disappointed! Took her less than 3 hours to do these individuals and they are flawless! Just to let you know how great the quality is my daughter got braids in the week before Thanksgiving and I just took them out two weeks ago! They hold up for a LONG time and the quality is amazing. Hence why we came back and we will continue to come back. Great conversation and the movies are awesome! read more

As a resident of Herndon/Reston, it's been difficult to find a quality hair braider in the area. I decided to try this shop based on all the other wonderful Yelp reviews. Let me tell you - it lived up to the hype! Gladys and her team are polite and personalable. I got a full head of box braids. They are fast braiders as I was in and out of the shop in about 4.5 hours. I have very thick and full natural hair, Gladys wasn't intimidated at all. Also, the prices are very affordable and since it's a trading shop, the hair is available at the shop! That makes the entire experience very convenient. This will be the only place that I go to for my braids! I cant wait to try another style! read more

Musa Braids and Weaves - Cornrows with twists - Hair Stylists Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Being a resident of the DC suburbs has made finding a great braided challenging. Considering how long a thick head of hair can take to braid, I prefer not to go into DC or MD, and quite honestly, the options are endless... How am I supposed to pick which place is best? I have had such varied experiences with braids, some so tight that whole braids have fallen OFF my head... No thank you!!! I am SO happy to find Gladys at Musa Braids in Manassas! When I called her (correct number is 703-895-8596) she was able to get me in the same evening, and made things SO easy and comfortable for me! Plenty of parking, and lots of movies to watch. I told Gladys that I can't take tight braids, I will definitely take them out the same night if they are too tight. I wear my hear natural and free, and haven't been braided in at least 10 years, and I'm a total brat when my hair is uncomfortable. I mean, hello, it's 2015, why should I have uncomfortable hair?? Well apparently Gladys is well-known for GREAT BRAIDS THAT ARE NOT TIGHT!!!!!!! Hooray!!! Her two assistants were even able to step in to help in the last hours of the process, making the whole visit take only four pleasant and comfortable hours! I remember in the past going to have my hair braided at some one's house after driving all over the place to find the right type of hair and enough of it, spending the whole day and into twilight having my head yanked around and paying a few hundred bucks on top of it. Gladys provided the hair, was easy to schedule, braided gently and humanely, was great company, miraculously got me out in a relatively short time, gave me a perfect style and only charged me a couple hundred dollars total. I am so happy to meet Gladys and will be back to Musa Braids regularly. I can't believe my luck. I highly recommend her to all persons wanting a great braid style and/or weave in a professional and comfortable shop. Thank you Gladys! read more

I recently got my hair braided here. The rates were super affordable, the staff was very nice and accommodating and I was in and out in just less than three hours for medium/large box braids. The space offers and sells many things so the actual braiding space is small but that's about it read more

Called last minute to get an appointment for Box braids. Got in within two hours. Braids came out great! And only took 4 hours! Lots of hair to choose from should you desire a different style. Will definitely be back! read more

I've gone here a few times to get my braids done. I haven't tried any other service but they are fast. I always get a ton of compliments on my hair. The first time I went in I got waist length sengalese twists, they finished in 3 hours. The staff is really nice, sometimes they have specials posted are their Facebook page. I wanted box braids for my birthday party and they had a special for $100. Which is a steal in this area. I work overnight so I appreciate their early hours. I bring my own comfy chair and sleep while they braid lol. read more

This is by far one of the best braiding places in manassas! i went here towards the end of November and didn't have any issues with my braids. The women who runs the place is super sweet and very gentle! Will be going back very soon. read more

UPDATE 10/ 7/2018: Happy customer once again! I got my usual style but had her make it more full and a little longer this time. She's very friendly and accommodating and never braids too tight which is very important! read more

This was my third time getting micro braids and first time at Musa. Pros: - scheduling an appointment was easy - good customer service - there is a vast selection of human and synthetic hair ranging in price to purchase inside the salon - pricing is quite reasonable; After a 20% first time customer discount, I paid $200 for the work (not including the price of the hair that I purchased there). Cons: - It took about 7 1/2 hours to finish. I've had this same style completed in 4 1/2 hours in the past, and I had much longer hair then. So I was surprised with the time it took since my hair was about 2 inches long this time. I've been told that it takes less time when the stylist starts in the middle of the scalp (instead of the sides), but didn't want to be rude by suggesting this. - Two weeks after getting the braids, my natural hair started growing out of the braid. This is quite unfortunate because I usually wear this style for about three months, but it already looked "worn" after the first couple weeks. I would recommend Musa. Although I'm unhappy that my natural hair has grown out of the braid so soon, I'll likely return given the Pros that I listed. To expand on "good customer service", I really appreciated Gladys' input on hair color. My natural hair is various shades of brown and she suggested that we mix two tones of brown that ended up looking great together. read more

Yesterday I came in to get box braids for my very first time. Gladys took me in on very short notice. I came in at 3:30 and looked through her huge shop to find hair that was just right for me. We started the braiding around 4 and we finished around 10! Gladys was very gentle on my hair and I barely felt any pulling! She would start each braid, go about 5 inches down and then her apprentices would finish the length of the braids. I am absolutely in love with my braids, thank you so much Gladys! I will recommend Gladys to everyone I meet, she was so open minded about my hair and is a very sweet lady. I learned that she lived in Germany and has much experience with Caucasian hair, like mine. Also, the number listed may be wrong, the correct number is 703-895-8596. Please say Meryem referred you as well ;) read more

Love Gladys. Got a sew-in and lasted 3 months and could have lasted much longer but I want to change up the hair. Fast service and she is very friendly. Made me feel comfortable although there were other clients there. I will definitely go back for my second sew-in. read more

Gladys did a wonderful job with my daughter's braids. Her work is of the highest quality and the braids have lasted longer than with our previous stylist. read more

I went to Gladys this past weekend to get my hair braided and I am in LOVE with my braids. She's very fast, kind and talented. I didn't even feel like I was in the chair long because I felt so comfortable. We pretty much talked and watched movies the whole time. Next thing I know, she was done! Very pleased with the outcome and I will most definitely be going back to her again. Thanks again!! :) read more

I got my box braids done 3 months ago and they are still holding on strong. Making the appointment was easy and quick. She was very pleasant. The service was quick, out in less than 4 hours. At first I was a little concerned going to a new braider and due to the size of my parts not being as smaller as normal but overall satisfied. 3 months later no braids have fallen out and they still look good. My only issue was that I have long braids and they were not braided down far enough for me so the first week I was braiding the ends of my hair further down. Next time I'll make sure to pay closer attention. I'm from the city and took a chance, so If your in the area you won't be be disappointed in trying this braiding shop. read more

I've been going to Gladys for about 10 years now. The service is great and her work is always consistently amazing. I always leave happy and love my hair for weeks to come. Gladys is truly an expert in her field and is always happy to work with you to ensure you love your style/hair. I will keep coming here for many more years to come :) read more

I went in and got Marley twists and am so pleased with the results! She was kind, professional, and finished my whole head in under 3 hours. I could've fallen asleep with how gentle she was. I used to think installation had to be painful to last or look neat but I was pleasantly surprised with the experience! I will definitely go back! read more

Amazing job on my sons braids. first time getting them and he felt at home and actually enjoyed it!

Northern va best kept secret. I love love love how she did my bob styled box braids. She has awesome hair products to choose from and is very prosessional and quick. My scalp does not hurt and braids are all same size and even. Musa hair braid is awesome and Gladys is so funny. Thank you. I will be going back in 2 months. read more

This was the worst experience. When I arrived there was only one braider and three customers including myself. One of the customers was just sitting there with half her hair done for three hours. I then suggested that I come back and the lady was like she will start on my hair. (That meant she will start the twists and another braider will come and finish) Mean while the other customer just sat there with her hair half done waiting for the braider who started on my hair. Eventually it was my turn to wait. I spent 8 hours getting my hair done. The Senegalese twists were not what I expected. The hair was braided and then twisted. My advice is if you don't have time to sit and wait all day, I would suggest trying another braiding service. read more

Gladys is by far the best braider I have ever had. Her braids do not slip out and yet her hand is gentle. She is an amazing designer and can do twist, braids, whatever you like. She is always focused on what is best for her clients. Her assistants are lovely and very talented as well. Live in Northern Virginia? Don't waste you time driving anywhere but to Musa. All this AND her pricing is very reasonable. I am a client who is 100% satisfied with her work and won't be going anywhere else for my twist! read more

Glady's is so amazing! She opened up two hours early just to accommodate my schedule and has also opened up on a Sunday because I really needed my hair done and that was the only day I could do it. Her braiding technique is great and she is able to do so many styles. She braids my daughter's hair as well and the results are always fantastic. read more

I found Musa Braids by searching near my home on Yelp. It was easy to make the appointment, and the shop was easy to reach, just off I-66 in Manassas. I took my teenage daughter in for cornrows. Gladys (the stylist /owner) was professional, friendly, and fast. My daughter's hair is thick and shoulder-length, and we just wanted it half-way cornrowed, with the back falling free. It turned out beautifully, and lasted at least a month! We will definitely be back. Next time we might try crochet braids. In the back of the shop there is a HUGE beauty supply store with every kind & color of hair you could imagine, as well as accessories. read more
