I’ve been braiding hair professionally for over 28 years, primarily in fair and Renaissance festival settings, at special events and by private appointment. If you’re reading this, it’s likely we’ve already met in person (hello again!) or we’ll working together soon. Please use this site as a resource, an inspiration, a way to get information and to stay connected.
about this site, how to get around + get in touch
In these pages you’ll find plenty of braid photos to choose your style or get inspiration, plus tips and tricks for doing your own or others’ hair, and information about how to get braids or other services from me outside one of my festivals (I offer house calls and on-location visits for events!)
Scroll through photo galleries of my braid work by clicking the button below or on this link: The Galleries , and check my Instagram & Facebook feeds either to the right or below if you’re on mobile.
about me, and how I got into this
⭐️ I began traveling as a craftsperson at Renaissance Festivals in 1993 and got my start braiding in 1995 (many thanks to Suzzanne Haney, Fantasy Hairweavings). Soon after, I added a couple of large county fairs and other special events to my schedule. While I no longer have a full Fair circuit, I do still have a few fairs in my regular schedule, alternating between my home bases in Georgia and Florida.
⭐️ In 2020 I went back to school for Cosmetology and in early 2022 obtained my Florida license, enabling me to expand my braiding and special occasion offerings, teach classes and workshops, and make house calls as a stylist.
⭐️ I’ve seen – I know – how making even simple changes to your hair can uplift how you feel, give you a boost, and just be fun, and I’m here to help you do that!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
