About Us - Samsodo-Queens

Our Story

Founded by lead stylist Jasmine Carter, Samsodo-Queens was born from a lifelong passion for the transformative art of African hair braiding. Jasmine envisioned a salon that was more than just a place to get your hair done—it was to be a sanctuary. A welcoming, luxurious space where clients feel seen, celebrated, and empowered.

From a small, dedicated studio, we've blossomed into a premier destination for hair artistry in New York, built on a foundation of quality, creativity, and an unparalleled client experience. Our journey is woven with dedication to our craft and, most importantly, to the amazing community we serve.
