about

A studio for braids and the people who wear them.

KULAMA started in 2021as a chair, a mirror and a comb on a quiet Wrocław street. Five years on, it’s a studio — but the chair, the mirror, and the obsession with detail haven’t moved.

We specialise in locs and protective styling — retwists, starter locs, braids and cornrows in the African tradition, adapted for the rhythm of European life. Whether it’s your first set or your fifteenth, the conversation begins with your scalp, your tension tolerance, and the way you want to feel walking back out onto Plac Grunwaldzki.

The studio is small on purpose. We take one client at a time, set the table for them, and don’t hurry the parting. Hair extensions and curls aren’t provided — we tell you exactly what to bring before your appointment. Cleansing and aftercare guidance comes home with you.

We’re also a quiet space. If you need a slow morning, a long appointment, or a chair where no one will ask you to small-talk, we’ve got you. Bring a book. Bring an album. Bring nothing — that’s also welcome.
