In Yaya’s chair
Yaya opened the boutique after a decade of doing natural hair out of her home studio, and the shop on Sylvan Rd is still built around the way she prefers to work — one client in the chair at a time, no double-booking, no rushed final hour.
Her specialty is the opening move: starter locs, first consultations, and the color services that change how a head of hair moves through the world. Long-time clients have been following her for ten, fifteen years, which is the most honest review we can offer.
If you're new to locs or about to make a significant color decision, she's the chair to book. She'll talk you through what your hair is actually going to do — not what you wish it would.
