Previous Hair Braiding Work

A gallery can tell you a great deal about a hair braider. It provides an opportunity to look closely at different styles, explore braid patterns, and see the type of craftsmanship you can expect when choosing a professional stylist.



Nini African Hair Braiding provides professional hair braiding in Honolulu with a strong focus on quality and personalized service. Rather than taking a one size fits all approach, Nini works directly with each client and focuses on the individual style being created.


Previous work may include classic African braiding techniques as well as modern protective styles. Clients can use the gallery as a source of inspiration when considering knotless braids, box braids, boho braids, goddess braids, cornrows, twists, loc inspired hairstyles, and other available services.


If a particular look catches your attention, contact Nini before your appointment to discuss the style.

Find Inspiration for Your Next Hairstyle

Choosing a hairstyle can be exciting, but the number of available options can also make it difficult to decide what you want. Looking through examples of completed work can help you narrow your choices.



You might be interested in the neat, versatile appearance of knotless braids or the timeless structure of box braids. You may prefer the softer details of boho or goddess braids, or perhaps you are interested in the clean patterns created with cornrows, feed in braids, and stitch braids.


For clients looking beyond traditional braids, passion twists and Senegalese twists provide additional possibilities. Faux locs and butterfly locs offer distinctive loc inspired looks, while sew in hair extensions can provide another way to change your hairstyle.


The gallery is designed to showcase the variety of styles Nini can create while helping clients find ideas for future appointments.
