Why Afro Luxe
Why Columbia Clients Choose Afro Luxe Braiding Bar
Clients travel from Columbia to Afro Luxe in Laurel for one reason above all others: quality that is genuinely hard to find elsewhere in the DMV. Our salon was founded by Dr. Boghoko Kaspa, PharmD, MSc — a pharmacist and cosmetic formulation chemist whose approach to hair care combines ancestral braiding tradition with pharmaceutical-grade precision.
When you sit in our chair, you are not just getting braids. You are getting a service informed by 15+ years of experience, a genuine understanding of scalp health and edge protection, and the care of a team that takes pride in every single appointment.
The Journey is Worth It
A 20-minute drive from Columbia. Our clients consistently tell us that Afro Luxe is worth the drive — and many book their next appointment before they leave. With early morning slots from 6 AM and same-day availability, we make it easy to fit your hair appointment around your schedule, not the other way around.
