Are you looking for a place to get African braids in Puerto Rico?  It doesn’t matter if you are a local resident embracing your natural texture or a visitor looking to enjoy the Caribbean sun with low-maintenance, gorgeous hair: Finding a salon that truly understands and honors textured hair care is essential.

Hair is deeply personal, but getting your hair braided? That’s a shared experience. At least, this is what we stand for at Sunny Braids. Located right on Ashford Avenue in San Juan (just steps from Puerto Rico's animated resort strip), our beloved studio was founded on a simple premise: A beauty salon shouldn't just be a place where you sit in a chair for a few hours (or many, depending on the braided hairstyle you choose!). It should feel like stepping into a space where you truly belong. In other words, it should feel like coming home.

Hello, Sunnies! Halloween is almost here, and I’m excited, not only because I love this holiday, but also because this is my first Halloween as a mom, and I’m excited about dressing up little Cyra. Although she won’t remember this date, I’m sure she’ll enjoy it, and we’ll also have plenty of cool pics to show her once she grows up. 

Holidays are all about creating new memories. That’s why we want everything to go perfectly well, and we plan them in advance. If you’re like most parents, I’m sure your mind is already working on costume plans, trick-or-treating routes, and candy bags. But let’s be honest: Nothing completes a show-stopping Halloween look like the perfect hairstyle!

Hi, Sunnies! Looking forward to learning how to braid professionally? Do you already create nice braids, but want to upgrade them to really turn heads? Or maybe you’re feeling frustrated because no braid tutorial can tell you exactly what you’re doing wrong or how to place your hands? In any case, I’m here to help! 

After serving 3,000+ clients in Sunny Braids, Puerto Rico’s most recommended studio, I’ve started teaching others who also want to braid for a living, or who wish to create beautiful braided hairstyles for their kids, their friends, or themselves.

Don’t we all love K-Pop Demon Hunters? Since Netflix launched this action/musical animated film, fans from all over the world have fallen in love with the main characters. And I totally agree! Those three girls are not just bold, caring, and funny, but they also display such amazing braids.

Hello, Sunnies! I’m happy to guide everyone who wants to learn how to braid hair and create amazing styles for themselves, their children, or to make a living doing what they love. As the owner of the most recommended braiding studio in Puerto Rico, I’m here to help.

Some people have always dreamed of learning to braid and come to our blog looking for their first braid tutorial. Many, many others have some previous braiding experience, but are still far from satisfied with their current results. If this is you, who wants to know how to braid better, more professionally, or with long-lasting results, you’ve come to the right place. Still, if you’ve never braided before, spotting some common mistakes will help you navigate the amateur stage way faster and master braiding with the right technique from the start.

Hello, Sunnies! I’d love to welcome every tourist who visits our braiding studio in San Juan, Puerto Rico. While you’re here enjoying the tropical breeze, beautiful beaches, and unique energy, this time I want to invite your little ones to a new, incredible, hands-on experience.

What distinguishes a professional braided hairstyle from an amateur one? Simple: It’s all in the technique. 

After serving over 3,000 clients in my professional braiding studio and having taught and empowered many local braiders seeking work opportunities, I’ve developed a system that anyone who wants to learn how to braid can implement.

This year, USA, Mexico, and Canada are hosting one of the most popular sports events in the face of the Earth: the FIFA World Cup. Have you noticed the number of braids for men among the soccer players of many countries? I’m not surprised! Braided hairstyles for men are stylish and look amazing, but more than anything, people who practice sports choose braids because they keep their hair in place.

When it comes to learning how to braid, many people ask me about the difference between braiding overhand and braiding underhand. This is because, when we’re creating a particular braided hairstyle, small changes in how you hold your hands may make a massive difference in how long it takes you to create the hairstyle and how comfortable the client is. This is true despite the final result’s looks, which can be great with both methods.

The back-to-school countdown has officially begun. Most families fear this moment of the year: Between sorting out uniforms, organizing school supplies, preparing healthy yet simple lunchboxes, and adjusting to earlier alarm clocks, mornings can get problematic. If you add to all of that styling your kid’s hair, your routine can become truly stressful! Here’s the good news: It doesn’t have to be—at least, when it comes to your children’s hair. Kids’ braids provide a great solution.

Hello, Sunnies! Are you here to learn how to braid like a pro? Maybe you’ve already attempted braiding on your own, but you come up with loose, uneven braids. Perhaps you’re used to braiding the same kind of braids every time, and you want to learn how to braid new hairstyles. Or this may be your first attempt at braiding, and you want to start from scratch! In any case, you’ve come to the right place.

Hi, Sunnies! Long time, no see! How are all the fans of Puerto Rico braids? I hope everyone is doing great. Wow, it’s hard to believe that it’s almost the end of spring, isn’t it? I had the most amazing spring, and I hope yours was the same. By the way, when I say ‘amazing’ I don’t mean ‘relaxing’… I’ve been super busy! But now I finally have some time to keep you updated on the news.
