Hi! My name is Andrayah! I’ve been a licensed Cosmetologist of nearly 10 years. I opened my independent hair studio in 2017. I am most known for my color and styling ability. I travel a lot for work as a member of the Charleston Fashion week Hair and Makeup team as well as Miami Swim Week team. I’ve also traveled through the US as a hair product educator. My work has been featured in numerous publications including Photo Vogue by Vogue Italia.

My work is a major part of my life but in my free time, I loves to travel; camera in hand; exploring new places experiencing the art, food, and music of different communities and cultures. Thrifting is another one of my favorite pass-times as well as painting and CrossFit. I’m also mother to 2 dogs: Carmela an Huncho.

Movies... I love thrillers Girl on the train, Get out... things like that.

Books... I read a lot of books about self help and entrepreneurship (love Tim Ferriss) one of my all time favorite books is Why Men Love Bitches (don’t judge the book by the name, just read it!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opening my salon was probably the scariest and most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It’s definitely what I would consider my greatest work to date.
