I’m Shayna, Founder and CEO of Braid Bar Ldn, I’ve been in the hair and braiding industry for over 15 years. While I specialise in all braid styles, my absolute favourites are boho and goddess braids, it’s just chefs kiss.

Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible brands including Gymshark, Tangle Teezer, and Ruka as well as world-renowned artists such as Tems and Lauryn Hill. I’ve shared my knowledge as a panelist at a variety of events, covering everything from braiding techniques to training, business growth and entrepreneurship. All while being a proud mum of three.

In 2024, I was honoured to receive the Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Tress Gala a moment that truly recognised the hard work, dedication and love I’ve poured into my craft.
I have also been featured in British Vogue, Financial Times, Spell Magazine, and It’s a Lifestyle Hun.

Through Braid Bar Ldn I love to create beautiful hair, unforgettable experiences, and to inspire others to dream big both in business and in life.
