Let Me Introduce Myself...

Here is a picture of me with weave I did myself!



Good evening all,

I am walking on faith and finally decided to pursue my dreams of owning my own hair salon and spa! I began my hair braiding business at the young age of 12 when a childhood friend and I created posters and hung them around the neighborhood. We both had pagers (yes that was back in the days) like young business owners and scheduled multiple clients per day. What was once a hobby turned into a lucrative business that allowed continual income to flow through out my college years and even now as a side business.

Though this gift/passion flowed through me, like many other things, people deterred me from pursuing what came so natural to me and what I truly loved, touching the lived of people on a one on one basis. After starting and stopping countless times, and old clients continually asking me if and when I will start doing hair again, I decided to begin cosmetology school and finally work towards my dream!
My goal is to not only build clientele in order to have a lucrative business but also expand transcontinental and internationally! I am one step closer to my dreams! So keep me in your prayers.
So as I begin this journey of documenting my progress, I would like to welcome you for the ride! Hold on tight, it will be bumpy at times, but well worth the time!
Love you all!


Until next time...

Hi Chaka,

I just want to first, congratulate you on pursuing your dreams. For those who know you, will agree with me when I say you are talented,highly-skilled,motivated and passionate about your future career. All things in life brings us some kind of challenge some more challenging than others. However, we can rest assured that as long as we find true happiness in what we do, no matter the challenge, we will suceed at it. With this being said just remember
happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. So be enocuraed and keep pursuing your dreams.
