Beauty By Lucky

My name is Edlawit and I am originally from Ethiopia but now I call my home Alexandria, Virginia. My first name means “Lucky” and my salon “Beauty by Lucky” is a high-end hair and beauty salon that specializes in African hair braiding for both men and women. But, I do so much more! Women, If you are looking for the look that will knock a man off his feet, or just because you want to look incredible for yourself, I do lovely hair and eyelash extensions too. I use top-quality faux hair as well as natural hair products. We also carry the best quality hair maintenance products to keep your “do” beautiful and healthy.

I contacted Lucky late Sunday night requesting to get information about a service, she promptly responded to my messages, gave me an early morning appointment the next day, effectively communicated what kind of hair to get and where to get it, and met my timeline in getting my hair done. She was respectful and professional. 💕

Lucky was very professional and patient with me. I got waist length knotless braids, covering my thinning hair. She did a great job! The drive was worth it. Planning on coming back in a few months.

Lucky came through right when I needed her. It was a snow day, that was much needed but did not need to be accompanied by a bad hair day. I called her and she answered right away. She fit me in same day. Also she is fast, neat and professional. highly recommend!❤️

Can I wash my hair with cornrows?

Yes, you can wash your hair with cornrows, but it's important to be gentle. Focus on washing the scalp and avoid excessive manipulation of the braids to prevent frizz and unraveling.

How long do crochet braids take to install?

Are crochet braids suitable for all hair types?

What are bohemian braids, and how do they differ from regular box braids?

Bohemian braids are a more relaxed and textured version of traditional box braids, often incorporating loose, curly strands to give a free-flowing, boho-chic vibe. They offer a less structured look compared to classic box braids.

What are the benefits of knotless braids over traditional box braids?

Knotless braids are gentler on the scalp because they don't start with a knot, which reduces tension and breakage. They also have a more natural, seamless look, making them a popular choice for protective styling.
