Hello, I'm Shay..
Hi, I’m Shay — the hands and heart behind Shayssentials Exotic Crownz. My passion for braiding began at just 7 years old and has followed me throughout every stage of life. No matter where I went, hairstyling always found its way back to me. I knew my dream was to become a professional Braider and use my gift to uplift others. At Shayssentials, I specialize in enhancing your natural beauty and helping you embrace the crown you already have. Confidence starts with self-love, and I’m here to make sure your crown is worn with pride.
My Story
Since the age of 7, I’ve had a deep-rooted passion for hair braiding. What started as braiding dolls and family members’ hair quickly grew into something much bigger—a calling. Throughout my life, no matter what path I explored, hairstyling always made its way back into my hands. It wasn’t just a hobby—it was a gift that kept speaking to me, and I knew I had to listen.
There came a point when I realized that my dream wasn’t just about creating beautiful hairstyles—it was about transforming how people feel about themselves. I wanted to use my creativity, skill, and love for braiding to help others recognize the beauty in their natural crown. That dream gave birth to Shayssentials Exotic Crownz.
Shayssentials is more than just a beauty brand—it’s a space where culture meets creativity, and where confidence is braided into every strand. Whether it’s a fresh set of knotless braids, a protective style, or a custom look, I aim to enhance your natural beauty while keeping your hair healthy and your vibe elevated.
Every crown is unique—and my mission is to help you wear yours with pride.
