Maya

Braiding Specialist · 10+ Years Experience

What began as a simple hobby, driven by curiosity and passion, has grown into a lifelong skill and a dedicated craft. Over the years, I have developed my natural love for hair into an art, continually refining my ability to create intricate patterns, clean parts and beautifully finished styles. For me, braiding is more than a hairstyle. It is an art form, a cultural expression and a moment of self-care for every person who sits in my chair. True artistry goes beyond what can be seen on the surface. I make the health of my clients' natural hair a priority, ensuring that every style is neat, comfortable, protective and long-lasting. From classic box braids and cornrows to modern knotless braids, feed-ins and other protective styles, I continue to evolve with new techniques and trends without compromising the health of my clients' hair. The most rewarding part of this journey is the trust I build with each client, turning a simple appointment into a personal and meaningful experience.

I have been working as a nail technician for three years, and I love making my clients smile through beautiful shapes, creative designs and personalised nail art. I specialise in acrylics, BIAB, 3D nail art and intricate designs, bringing each client's ideas to life with care and attention to detail. My main goal is to create a result that you truly love while making you feel comfortable and welcome. And one thing is certain — you'll never be bored in my chair!
