After creating BeautyBeez in 2019, I realized something: product access was just the beginning.

The disrespect we faced in beauty supplies was the same disrespect freelancers faced in salon structures. Working from home. Renting chairs in spaces not designed for their craft. Compromising everywhere.

Revolution isn't just changing who's in the room.
Sometimes it means building an entirely new house.

BraidHouse is that house.

Where freelancers command professional rates because they work in professional environments.
Where community replaces competition.
Where education happens daily, not occasionally.
Where braiders, locticians, and stylists build empires, not just clientele.

I didn't create another salon.
I created what should have existed all along.

A space worthy of your talent.
A model designed for your success.
A community ready for your contribution.

This is what happens when we stop adapting to broken systems and start building our own.

This is BraidHouse.
And we're just getting started.
