Welcome to BryBrySlays
She is ME
I'm Bryanna, you can call me Bry [br-EE].
BryBrySlays is my hair care and styling business I started professionally in 2021.
My love of hair care and styling grew from a personal struggle with seeing the beauty in my own natural hair. At first, like many, transitioning from relaxed to natural hair was a painful process. But I found guidance and help from community (specifically YouTube University- the natural hair movement in 2010s was an era!).
I learned how to make my hair care journey healthy, simple, and most importantly effective. Since the days of YouTube University, I began my formal training to become a licensed natural hairstylist in NYC; so now I service healthy hair in NYC and the Bay Area.
My hair career is dedicated to being a part of the positive change and to teach people like you and me how to have healthy, well cared for hair.
Hair Care is the Foundation We Build On
The biggest lesson I learned in my professional journey is that most people don't know how to care for their hair because of poor habits, unmanaged expectations, and a lot of misinformation out in the world, especially for us folks with textured hair!
The difference between having “good hair” and having “bad hair” is hair health. Yet, mistreatment and miseducation of hair care has left us with the idea that we have unmanageable and difficult hair. This misinformation has created a barrier between people and their hair, especially black women and the joy of their naturally textured hair.
So my mission is centered around unlearning negative associations and relearning the health and beauty of natural hair.
So with the knowledge i have and continue to amass, is dedicated to ensuring the foundation of your crown is sturdy. All the styling in the world won't fix what has been mismanaged- so we need to take the time to understand how hair health works, is intertwined with your physical and mental health, and the key to retaining is preserving what grows out of our scalps.
So Now What?
So now I invite you to let me help you on your journey to better hair care! I have practiced and evaluated the best methods for helping you reach your hair goals- whether you're a fellow stylist or hair enthusiast, my platform is for you!
