Employer Description:

At Afrotherapy, we believe great hair starts with real expertise, a deep understanding of textured hair, and a genuine commitment to each and every client. Based in Edmonton, North London, our salon is known for its specialist approach to afro, curly, and multi-textured hair. Whether you’re looking for precision cutting & styling, flawless colour, weaves & hair extensions, texture release or relaxer treatments, you’ll be in the hands of professionals who truly know hair.

Founded by Joseph and Harriet Cudjoe, Afrotherapy has grown from a bold idea into one of the most respected afro hair salons in the UK. With decades of experience between them, Joseph and Harriet built the business on passion, skill, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel confident in their natural hair. From their early beginnings in 2001, they have worked to raise the standard of afro and textured hairdressing, both in the salon and across the wider industry. 

Our team of stylists, colourists, and extension specialists is highly trained and genuinely talented. We’re known for our cutting and styling expertise, particularly with afro and curly hair textures, and we’re proud to work with all hair types - from natural coils to chemically treated or heat-styled hair. Each appointment starts with listening. We want to understand your hair goals and concerns so we can offer honest, expert advice and deliver a look that feels right for you. Our salon is designed to feel luxurious yet welcoming. A place where you can relax and enjoy a little time for yourself. Everything we do is tailored to your hair type, your lifestyle, and your personal style.
