Our Mission
At Africana Beauty Salon, our mission is to provide high-quality braiding services that protect and nurture your natural hair while helping you look and feel your best.

Our goal is simple: to make every client feel beautiful, confident, and cared for — every single time.
Meet Eunice – The Heart Behind Africana Beauty Salon
Every braid tells a story — and for Eunice Ohanya, braiding has been a lifelong passion turned profession.
With over a decade of experience, Eunice has perfected the art of knotless braids, boho styles, locs, and cornrows, specializing in techniques that protect and nourish natural hair.
Her journey began in her early teens, braiding friends and family in her community. What started as a hobby grew into a calling — a way to celebrate African beauty, empower women, and provide confidence through hair.
Today, Eunice runs Africana Beauty Salon in Burnaby, Vancouver, where she offers a warm, one-on-one salon experience. Clients describe her as professional, gentle, and consistent, with a unique ability to make everyone feel comfortable and valued.
For Eunice, it’s not just about creating beautiful hairstyles — it’s about healthy hair, self-expression, and uplifting her clients. Each appointment is more than a service; it’s an experience of care, creativity, and confidence.
