We know the story all too well: you book a braiding appointment hoping for a fresh, beautiful look, but end up sacrificing your entire day in a salon chair, only to leave with a throbbing headache from braids that are just too tight. At African Braids by Cairo, we do things differently. My name is Nyuydine, but everyone calls me Cairo, and with over 20 years of experience, I’ve perfected a braiding technique that’s not just fast—it’s also famously gentle and pain-free. We have proudly served thousands of clients in the San Diego County military community for over 7 years, earning a 4.7-star rating on Google and special recognition from Yelp for our exceptional service. We believe getting your hair done should be a joyful, comfortable experience, not a painful ordeal. That’s our promise to you.

See you soon,
Nyuydine "Cairo" Meriwether
