Comment Slay for the link to my exclusive deals

Sitting back having a reminisce moment about the good old days when we’d stay up late watching infomercials—and one that always stuck with me was the Rio Edible Hair Relaxer. Yes, edible! They claimed it was so safe you could literally eat it. It was marketed as an alternative to harsh lye relaxers, and back then, that sounded revolutionary.

Now, as a home stylist, that memory hits different. There’s always some new product claiming to be the “safe alternative.” And while I agree—many of today’s hair products are more natural, some even bordering on edible—you still have to be careful. No matter how safe it sounds, you should never leave products in your hair indefinitely. Always follow up with a proper wash treatment to protect your strands and scalp.

Safe doesn’t mean permanent. Natural doesn’t mean no buildup. Healthy hair is still about proper care and routine—not just marketing claims.

Being a home stylist is more than just hair—it’s a whole vibe, a safe space, and sometimes… a nap pod. 😴✨ My clients be working LONG hours, juggling life, and by the time they sit in my chair, the peace just hits different. Next thing I know, they’re knocked out, and I’m over here tryna finesse their style without waking them up.

I take my time, adjust my hands, move slow—because I get it. Sometimes, the only moment to breathe is right here, in my chair. But every now and then, I do have to wake them up—gently—just to remind them they’re safe, their hair is in good hands, and they deserve this moment of care.

My chair is more than a place to get cute—it’s a place to exhale. 💆🏾‍♀️✨ #SafeSpaceStylist #SelfCareStartsHere #HomeSalonVibes

I Am Not My Hair

[Verse 1]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

[Chorus]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

[Verse 2]
What you see on the outside
Is just a small reflection of who I am inside
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

[Chorus]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

[Bridge]
I am the soul that lives within

[Chorus]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

[Outro]
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within

This song is a celebration of self-identity beyond physical appearance, emphasizing the idea that one’s true essence is not defined by external features like hair or skin but your soul lives within.

Adornments vs. Embellishments for Hair ✨

Adornments are unique, often cultural or handcrafted accessories like the specialty African pieces I add to my braids. They add a distinct touch of tradition or personal style.

Embellishments, on the other hand, are more playful and varied, like beads or decorative clips used in children’s hairstyles. They add fun and flair to any look.

Both bring their own special charm to hairstyles! 💫 #HairAdornments #HairEmbellishments #Braids #HairStyling”

So I created my walking taco bar and set up my stand to share at my next event. Excited to share the new Doritos eyeshadow palette! 🌟 This unique collection features vibrant, snack-inspired shades that add a playful twist to your makeup routine. Whether you’re aiming for bold and edgy or fun and flirty, these colors are sure to make a statement. Grab yours and snack on some style! #DoritosEyeshadow #MakeupMagic #SnackInspiredBeauty

Braids are considered a low-maintenance hairstyle for several reasons:

1. Reduced Daily Styling: Once braids are done, they require minimal daily upkeep. Unlike loose hair that needs frequent brushing and styling, braids stay neat and organized for an extended period.

2. Protective Style: Braids act as a protective style by shielding your hair from environmental factors like sun, wind, and pollution. This helps in minimizing damage and split ends, reducing the need for constant maintenance.

3. Long-Lasting: Braided hairstyles can last for days or even weeks without needing to be redone, making them convenient for busy schedules. They can also withstand various activities, including workouts and outdoor adventures.

4. Versatility: Braids can be adapted to suit different occasions and outfits, from casual to formal events. This versatility means you don’t need to change your hairstyle frequently.

5. Reduced Tangling: Braids help prevent hair from tangling and knotting, which reduces the time and effort needed for detangling and combing.

Overall, braids offer a practical and stylish solution for managing hair with minimal daily effort.

✨ Embrace Your True Beauty: Stay Authentic and Radiant✨

I couldn’t have said it better. In a world full of trends and fleeting standards, there’s one thing that remains timeless and uniquely powerful—being true to yourself. Your authenticity is your greatest asset, and embracing it not only enhances your natural beauty but also empowers your inner self. Here’s how you can celebrate and stay true to yourself every day:

1. Self-Acceptance: Recognize and love your unique features. Whether it’s your quirky smile or your distinctive style, these are the elements that make you extraordinary. Embrace them and let them shine. 🌟

2. Confidence Over Perfection: Perfection is a myth, but confidence is real. Focus on building your self-esteem and appreciating your strengths rather than striving for an unattainable ideal. Remember, confidence is the best accessory you can wear! 💫

3. Express Yourself: Your style and choices should reflect who you are. From fashion to makeup, choose what makes you feel empowered and true to yourself. Don’t be afraid to stand out or make a statement that is uniquely yours. 👗💄

4. Positive Mindset: Cultivate a positive mindset about yourself. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you, and practice self-love through affirmations and mindful practices. Your mental well-being radiates through your outward appearance. 🌺

5. Celebrate Individuality: No one else is you, and that’s your superpower. Celebrate what makes you different and use it as a strength. Your individuality is what adds depth and richness to your beauty. 🌈

Remember, beauty isn’t about fitting into a mold; it’s about breaking the mold and showcasing your true self. So shine bright, stay authentic, and let your inner light lead the way.

Alright, queens, get ready to slay this fall with a professional and timeless Bob! This look begins with medium braids that end at the shoulder. Once the braids are done, we’ll dip them in hot water to seal the ends and shape that chic Bob. This was one of my first braided styles, and it’s available for just $75. That includes three hours of braiding and the hair. Don’t forget to check out my home braid bar!

Happy Throwback Thursday! Let’s take a trip down memory lane to when I was 13. I started braiding back in the summer after sixth grade. At 12, I spent nearly two days on my cousin Nikki’s hair, and it turned out stunning. Unfortunately, the texture was too itchy for her, and she took it out the next day. I was pretty bummed since I didn’t get paid for my work, and it felt like all that effort was for nothing. But looking back, I see it as a valuable step in my hair journey. Sure! Here you go:

Hey beautiful people of Massachusetts! 💁🏾‍♀️ So, let me share my honey for your tea: money’s no object when it comes to top-notch quality, and my closet’s basically a treasure trove of high-end weaves, wigs, braids, and more from Mayvenn. Starting my home salon was a total no-brainer after I moved to this little slice of nowhere, where there’s literally no hairstylist for 100 miles. 😩 Since I’ve been slaying hair since I was 12, I figured, why not? And thus, *Braid and Slayed* was born. 💅🏾 Whether you need your makeup done or your hair braided for any occasion, I got you covered—all from the comfort of my place. Trust, I know how to make you feel right at home.

KEYONNA

We love to hear from our customers, but we especially love to hear stories like this one.

We're happy to report that she's had no issues with her hair growing out—it's actually grown faster than ever before!

She tells us that when she met Lela through a mutual friend and they immediately bonded over their shared love of short hair. They both agreed that short cuts were the best way to go, so they took the plunge together and got their first-ever pixie cuts at the same time.

Says KEYONNA: "I've never been happier with my hair than I am now."

LEVORIA

We had the pleasure of meeting Levoria at a dance class this summer. She'd been growing her hair for over a year, and it was long and beautiful—but she was getting tired of braiding it every day.

She got in touch with us because she wanted to try something new. We suggested crochet protective styles, which made her nervous at first. But we knew that if we could just convince her to give it a try, she'd be hooked on the look for life!

We were right—she's now more confident than ever with her new island girl hairstyle, and she says she's never going back!

DOMINIQUE

I know how hard it can be to find someone who really gets the care that your hair needs, so I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your business.

We've been working with Dominique for over a year now, and she's been a huge help in showing us what works for her hair and what doesn't. She's got lots of maintenance for her locks—including monthly wash routines—and has had very damaged hair until we began caring for it between her protective styles.

Dominique is also just an all around good person: kind, funny, and fiercely loyal to those she loves. We're so happy to have her as part of our braid and slayed community!
