Location
What people get wrong
Shop 4/154 Barkly, not Paisley Salon Africa and not Nicholson Medra-Genet. Hours disagree across directories. Call before a long install. We last walked this on 2026-09-25. Hours move with the week. Checking the shopfront keeps the night easy.
What is Afriqoz known for?
You stay on Barkly after the station and the braid photos start before the Ethiopian rooms. Afriqoz puts protective styles on the bright walk: box braids, cornrows, wefts, kids, curly hair work. Unisex. The wall mark is an Africa silhouette inside Australia with AFRIQOZ HAIR SALON under it. That is this Shop 4 glass, not a Paisley braid desk.
People who will not walk Paisley after dark will walk Barkly. That is why this listing exists separately from Salon Africa. Voila nails is 237. Ras Dashen is 247. Roti Road is food. Read the number.
Kultured at 30 French is the walk-in fade. Medra-Genet at 117 is the long boutique install with injera talk. Roha at 95 is wigs and silk press. Four African-hair doors. This one is Barkly Shop 4.
How do you book, and what do you bring?
Call 0423 558 499. Book protective styles. Bring extra hair if the pack is not included, a photo of braid size, and a full afternoon. Ask whether hair is supplied before you sit.
Do not treat a Barkly walk-past as a same-day goddess-braid slot. Do not trust a maps widget for a six-hour install when FindMe and Bookwell already disagree on Sunday.
Kids work is on the FindMe tags. Say the age. Pack water and food. Barkly will feed you after, not during the part.
Hours and which door
FindMe closes Sunday and Monday. Bookwell still prints Monday and Sunday 9am-5pm. Cite both. Call 0423 558 499. Last checked 2026-09-25. Trust the glass.
Shop 4/154 Barkly Street, Footscray 3011. Salon Africa is Paisley. Roha 95, Medra-Genet 117, African Haircare 208 are Nicholson. 208 is vacated. Four other African hair doors. This one is Barkly.
The photograph is the Afriqoz wall mark inside Shop 4: Africa-in-Australia logo above a basin edge. It is this room. It is not Salon Africa and not Medra-Genet.
How do you get to Afriqoz?
Footscray station, Barkly, the lit spine. After dark stay on Barkly. Voila at 237 is further along if you wanted nails, not braids.
154 sits west of the Paisley turn. If you walked as far as Ras Dashen at 247 you overshot. Roti Road is food on this run. Hair is the salon glass with the braid photos, not the injera room.
Do not ride a 406 to Nicholson and call it close enough. Paisley is a different street for Salon Africa.
What do people mix up about Afriqoz?
They go to Paisley because African hair maps to Salon Africa, or they go to 117 because Genet has the boutique reputation, or they trust a Sunday Bookwell open against a FindMe closed.
