Celebrate your roots. Express your style

About Fatima

I started braiding when i was a teen back in west africa. It’s been a passion of mines since my parent’s sent me to one of the best private schools when I was 11 years old. After class I would sit on my porch and practice different braid designs on my sister, my neighbor, and a classmate. Soon I was braiding many more people, and as you can imagine I was starting to become popular in the city. ❤️ My passion for creating braids has pushed me forward in life and has become a career I love.

In Illinois I have progressed in having many loyal customers over the last 20 years. My loyal customers have been great people that I’m thankful for having in my life.
