OPENING NIGHT:
And then one day, I was at the market and I run into my friends from secondary school. And we are talking and laughing and I’m having a good time and they say “Miriam! ” And I know my husband no want to go because he don’t like anything fun. So I lie to him and tell him I’m going to my sister’s house and I go to the show. Student rush tickets are available at the box office on the day of the show when the box office opens.
SPRING 2025ON BROADWAY
Director Whitney White presents the ecosystem of the braiding shop without extensive explanation. It’s either a place you know intimately or have never encountered. In presenting this intimate space, without frill or excessive polish, she exposes the full scope of Black womanhood with its joys, delights, pains and sorrows as we experience them daily. Though the rapid changes in tone often feel jarring, the realism that bursts through these scenes gives “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding” its vibrancy.

Jaja’s is at its best when its characters are allowed to be defined by indignation and empowered in their essential craft, not used to underline the trauma within the US immigration process. Jaja's African Hair Braiding will play at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre through November 19. The live stream performances will begin Tuesday, November 14th and include all evening and matinee performances. Tickets to the live stream performances will be $69 and are available at LOLST.org.

And I was glad that Jaja’s was a small part of someone else’s Broadway excitement. She can make a real character appear—the kind that rests on archetype but always achieves the spark of individuality—in just a few seconds of talk or motion. She brings people into contact precisely at the places where they’re most vulnerable, or wounded, or willing to crack just the right joke to reveal an uncomfortable truth. Sometimes she clears out space and simply lets her people dance, or gawk at the television. Embracing natural hair is an important aspect of our services.
This dazzling world premiere welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling hair braiding salon in Harlem where every day, a lively and eclectic group of West African immigrant hair braiders are creating masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. Mathis is referring to crafting original braided wig styles for JaJa's African Hair Braiding, otherwise known as the world premiere for Ghanaian-American playwright Jocelyn Bioh. The 90-minute show welcomes viewers into Jaja’s bustling Harlem hair braiding shop on a sweltering hot summer day. Inside the small salon, West African immigrant hair braiders create braided styles (box braids, micro-braids, a braided bob, cornrows, even Beyonce-inspired floor-length braids) on neighborhood women who either drop in unexpectedly or arrive for their appointments.
Before joining the brand, she managed editorial content for L’Oréal owned Makeup.com and Skincare.com. In 2015, she launched Essence.com’s hair channel where she received Time Inc.'s Henry R. Luce Award, shortly before joining Allure.com’s staff as Senior Beauty Editor. Along with her editorial positions, she also consulted on content and marketing strategies for beauty companies including DevaCurl and Dove, and has appeared at various speaking events and live television segments. The Broadway show depicts the authentic experience and importance of African hair braiding salons within the Black community. I also felt like when I wrote the play, which was in 2019 initially, we were in a very unique place in America of how we were discussing immigration, and who “belonged here” and I wanted to have my own answer to that. Obviously, I write comedic plays, so the marriage of both, that’s what Jaja’s was born out of, the marriage of these things that I wanted to express.

Jaja's African Hair Braiding - 2023 - Broadway Cast
Jocelyn Bioh’s play welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling hair braiding salon in Harlem where every day, a lively and eclectic group of West African immigrant hair braiders create masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. However, the uncertainty of their circumstances simmers below the surface of their lives, and when it boils over, it forces this tight-knit community to confront what it means to be an outsider on the edge of the place they call home. As designer David Zinn’s set rotated to display the interior of this braiding salon and the cast of women braiders trickled in to start their workdays, audiences became immersed in Harlem — in this distinct braiding shop — but it was also Every Salon, USA. When people learn that there is a story about them, in this case, black women learning that there’s a story about them being told on a Broadway stage, they will come running.
We provide styling options for natural hair, including twist outs, bantu knots, afro puffs, and protective styles like updos and halo braids. Our goal is to enhance the beauty of your natural hair while promoting its health and vitality.

First of all, I’m a native New Yorker, born and raised in Washington Heights, I now live in Harlem. And I grew up going to hair braiding shops, I’ve probably been getting my hair braided since I was four or five years old. And that’s a universal thing, I think, for a lot of people, going to the hair salon, or maybe there’s a tradition of getting their nails done with their sister, or their mom. A hair braiding salon is truly like a second home to me. So, I’ve always known how ripe it was with story and characters, the people coming in and out, the people who work there.
Unfortunately, you cannot view the show a second time or at a later date if you miss your time slot (and all sales are final). Theater junkies and curious newbies can enjoy the magic of the Broadway experience right from the comfort of their couch this month. Manhattan Theatre Club's extended world premiere of Jocelyn Bioh's Jaja’s African Hair Braiding is live streaming its final week of performances to audiences far and wide from Broadway's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. A typical shop – bustling with customers, vendors and braiders – has its own language, rules and expectations. You will sit for hours to get the braids of your choosing. You will arch your neck (oft in silence and in pain) as a braider plaits infinite rows.
The play follows the lives of a close-knit group of West-African immigrant hair braiders on a summer day in Harlem. Hair is sacred to Black women, as are the institutions that shift and mold our tresses, styling them for seasons and occasions. Beauty salons are staples in the Black community, but the braiding shop is a particular type of pillar that draws in Black women and femmes from across the diaspora to one central location. Sitting for hours or even a whole day getting their hair neatly tucked into box braids or cornrows, the experiences and expectations of customers become interwoven with the lives of the ladies who work there.
