The hairstylist, medical student and all round hair mentor.

I started this blog when i was 18 and in my third year of medical school because I wanted to help people feel the most confident and powerful in what ever hair type they had, be it natural, permed or whatever. Your hair is beautiful and it deserves to be loved and cared for.

Being a hairstylist is a skill i will forever be grateful for because it has been a great source of income while i attend school. It is also my goal to pass on this incredible skill to who ever is willing to learn. I want to help young college students who are in need of a side hustle to help stay afloat. So that they can navigate the world of starting and running their own successful hair salon business.

Welcome to HairByShades, where every strand tells a story. If you’re here, you’re already part of the journey, but let me tell you why you should stay.

My passion for hair runs deep. It’s not just about styling; it’s about empowerment, self-expression, and confidence. With each client, I weave more than just hair; I weave connections, transformations, and moments of pure joy.

But this journey isn’t just about me—it’s about us. Together, we’ll explore the latest trends, debunk beauty myths, and celebrate the diversity of hair in all its forms. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a curious newbie, there’s something here for you.

So, stick around. Let’s embark on this adventure together, where every twist, curl, and color reveals a new chapter in the story about HairByShades.
