Strands of Aura

I’ll take the sign and not question the universe!

I hit record because I wanted to capture a braid.

Instead, I captured something I’ll carry with me for a long time.

What started as an appointment turned into one of those conversations that reminds you why human connection matters so much. You’d think we had known each other other for years the way we bonded. 🥹🫶🏻

We talked about sobriety. We talked about taking chances. We talked about how Strands of Aura came to life. Somewhere between the braiding and the laughter, I realized this conversation had quietly become one of those moments I’ll never forget.

After 20+ years behind the chair, I’ve learned that the hair is only part of what I do.

The real magic has always been the people.

Their stories.
Their resilience.
Their trust.

Hair is what brings us together.

Connection is what keeps us coming back. 🤍

These feed in braids are giving some mermaid vibes ❤️🫶🏻

Her inner Elsa dreams have come true! 👑🥹💙🩵

You wouldn’t know I braided for the 4th but there would be signs 😂 this hair stayed on my car the whole ride home too

When someone wants natural Viking braids I drop it all and do it! Let’s give these braids some love on this beautiful Audrey Valley

There really is nothing like that first look in the mirror. 🌈

The smiles.
The excitement.
The “OH MY GOSH!”
The countdown to festival weekend officially begins.

This is why I’ll never get tired of doing festival braids. 💛

It’s more than a braid. It’s a feeling 😏
