Tafari Hair Magic
African Hair Braiding
Where Every Braid Tells a Story.
Personal Story
As a skilled and certified hair braider from the beautiful country of Senegal, West Africa, both entrepreneurship and braiding are in my blood. As the owner of Tafari Hair Magic, I bring a unique blend of creativity, passion and technical expertise. I love crafting beautiful, culturally inspired styles and a commitment to continuous learning, I aim to provide exceptional service and positive vibes! Let’s create something amazing together!
Growing up, I was judged for having "too much hair”. Thick, afro hair is still seen negatively in many communities. The hurt and frustration negatively impacted my mental health and the way I saw myself, but with the encouragement of my grandmother, I learned how to take care of my own hair and eventually decided to loc my hair and begin my loc journey. There was resistance from family and the societal stigma, but today I proudly wear my locs as a symbol of my identity. As a caretaker for my sister who has autism I practiced braiding and was able to hone my skills by doing her hair. The compliments and acknowledgment that came when people saw her hair served as a dose of much needed positivity and boosted my confidence.
I want us to love our hair and ourselves. This is why I get so much joy braiding and watching the reactions of happy customers.
