Is it a play or a hair salon? JaJa’s African Hair Braiding is making its debut at the Samuel J Friedman Theatre on October 3 (Now in previews). It takes place in a hair braiding shop 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 and revealing “secrets.”
