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.

Great Customer Service, good attention to details and creative hair styling. Was pleased with my design, considering I had little hair to work with.

I had the most amazing experience at Beauty by Lucky. I got the boho braids for the first time. She was gentle, fast and the hair was light and it came out beautiful!! So many compliments from everyone. Super happy with the finished product and her personality is 10/10 ✨

Book with Lucky!! My son walked in for a same day appointment and was seated immediately. Lucky did an amazing job with his braids delivering the style that he asked for. Lucky has reasonable prices and provided speedy service so that we were able to make it to the barbershop for the shape up right after in the same building. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend Lucky!!

My experience with Lucky was absolutely wonderful. When I decided on this protective style, I looked around and read all the reviews. I have been wearing my natural crown for 13+ years using ponytails or wigs if I wanted to change looks. I have never worn braids so I was a bit hesitant. Lucky was professional, efficient, and the braids weren't tight or uncomfortable. I wanted medium Boho braids and I was so pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it turned out. I have received so many compliments from coworkers and strangers. I have no complaints; only positive feedback and compliments.

Lucky has been my regular braider for a while now, both me and my bf go to her. She is a sweet soul and a skilled braider! Usually in and out in a relatively quick time frame too (4 to 4 and a half hrs vs 6-8 hrs with other braiders for small/medium braids). The pics of me in the green I had the braids in for maybe just over a month but I loved them so much and would get compliments daily. ♡

Frequently asked questions

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?

Crochet braids typically take about 2 to 3 hours to install, depending on the style and the amount of hair used. It's a quick and efficient protective style.

Are crochet braids suitable for all hair types?

Yes, crochet braids are versatile and can work for all hair types. They provide a protective style that adds length, volume, and versatility to your natural hair.

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.
