MEET Guilaine
Hi, I’m Guilaine! I’m originally from Cameroon and have been living in the United States since 2017. I’ve been braiding hair since I was just 10 years old starting with my younger sister and from that moment, I knew it was something I was meant to do. What began as a childhood hobby quickly grew into a lifelong passion and a true part of who I am.
I love creating beautiful, intricate styles that make people feel confident and radiant. Braiding isn’t just a skill for me it’s an art form that connects me to my roots and allows me to share a piece of my culture with every client I meet.
When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me watching or listening to motivational videos, spending time with my three amazing kids two girls and one boy or traveling and discovering new places.
