My experience working with all textures means I bring not just artistry, but technical mastery to your day — so you can focus on the moments, not your hair.

I left feeling confident, radiant, and so grateful to have had her work her magic.

I recently had my hair styled as a guest for a wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I sat in the chair, she listened closely to what I envisioned, and absolutely nailed it. The style was exactly what I wanted, elegant, flattering, and it held up beautifully throughout the entire night.

I've always loved to travel and experience cultures from around the world. My training and lived experience allow me to style hair across cultures with respect, grace, and excellence.

Expert in Every Texture

Coils, curls, waves, or pin-straight, I have a love for and experience with all hair types. Your hair type isn’t a challenge; it’s your unique beauty.

Respectfully Attuned

Your values and traditions matter. From modesty to meaningful rituals, I'll show up with intuitive understanding of what matters most to you.

Beauty That Honors

I blend technical mastery with cultural sensitivity to create styles that feel elevated, effortless, and unmistakably you while also honoring your culture.

Especially as an African American woman, she can work with any kind of hair. I promise you’re in good care! Literally my favorite person to work with.

I love working with Maria! She’s very professional, very caring and very intentional about how she styles. My hair always comes out perfect! She takes such care in the procedure and process. She always asks for your input and thoughts, and at the end of the day you are left with the most stunning look that you’ll be admiring for days!
